Chennai, June 24 For the first time the Ennore Port carried out ship-to-ship (STS) operations in its outer anchorage involving transfer of 22,500 tonnes of LPG last Friday.

The mother vessel LPG/C ‘Flanders Tenacity’ transferred 12,000 tonnes of butane and 10,500 tonnes of propane to LPG/C ‘Oriental Queen, which later sailed for Haldia. The operation was carried out in the designated anchorage area, which has been notified by Chennai Customs.

Ennore Port, which has been handling mainly thermal coal for Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) at its two dedicated coal berths, is trying to attract other cargoes through temporary handling facilities.
