The port of Aden's container terminal is looking to expand its quay area aiming to attract greater transhipment business through the facility, Reuters reported.   The Aden Container Terminal (ACT) has the greatest container handling capacity in Yemen. The Ma'alla Terminal is also situated within Aden and has two of its four main berths dedicated to container handling.   Both terminals are controlled by the Dubai and Aden Port Development Company (DAPDC), a joint venture between the state Yemen Gulf of Aden Ports Corporation and Dubai Ports World and its partners.   Roy Facey, port development adviser to the Port of Aden, told Reuters the design work on the planned quay extension was due to start in 2010.   "DAPDC would then go through the process of tendering and are likely to start the construction in around 2011," he said.   Cargonews Asia
