Chennai port has further deepened alongside depth at Chennai Container Terminal Pvt Ltd (CCTPL) to offer container handling facility on par with global standards. The port increased permissible draft at CCTPL to facilitate handling of vessels with a draft requirement up to 15 m.
The port achieved another milestone of berthing the container vessel CMA CGM Bellini with a draft of 14.6 m today at private container terminal CCTPL.
With the increased berthing facility the two private container terminals -- CCTPL and Chennai International Terminals Pvt Ltd -- inside the port can accommodate ships of draft up to 15 m. The accrued benefits to shipping lines will be to deploy large vessels thereby reducing operating cost and further benefits to Chennai Exim Trade, says a press release from Chennai Port Trust.
