Ports and Maritime Affairs / Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications, Bahrain: KBSP RoRo units — October 2026
October 2026 container throughput was 23,135 TEU versus 16,195 in September 2026, up 42.9% month on month. Vessel visits were 54 versus 40, up 35% month on month, comprising 31 general-cargo vessels, 23 container vessels and no cruise vessels. RoRo volume was 705; April–September source rows were zero, so no percentage change is calculated. General cargo was recorded as raw values of 127.292 versus 165.861, but the API metadata does not make the unit magnitude sufficiently clear for interpretation. This is official dataset 3 of 4 in the composite update. Evidence status: Observed. Four monthly administrative datasets published by Ports and Maritime Affairs through the Bahrain Open Data Portal; portal modification timestamps establish the current dataset update, while the raw cargo unit metadata remains unclear. Edition lineage: October 2026 follows September 2026 for current use; no existing historical record is overwritten.

Before using the evidence
Four questions that keep the conclusion honest
- 01What exact indicator, unit, reference period and publication status does “Ports and Maritime Affairs / Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications, Bahrain: KBSP RoRo units — October 2026” report?
- 02Is the value observed, estimated, forecast or targeted, and has the series been revised?
- 03Does the indicator describe Bahrain · Logistics & Supply Chain, GCC official data edition review — 9 November 2026, or is it only country or regional context that cannot be relabelled as sector demand?
- 04The record was reviewed on 2026-11-09; what has Ports and Maritime Affairs / Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications, Bahrain changed or superseded since that date?
