With more than a month to go before the current fiscal comes to a close, Kandla Port Trust has already exceeded last fiscal’s total traffic figure of 82.5 million tonnes to achieve 82.87 mt, according to a release by the port.
This has been achieved despite several adverse factors such as the closure of the dry cargo berth (CJ 6) due to ongoing civil work and poor performance of the container terminal whose operator was served with a termination notice.
Total imports so far in the current fiscal were 56.29 mt compared with 60.1 mt and total exports stood at 26.41 mt (22.09 mt). The volume of transshipment cargo was 1.69 lakh tonnes (3.09 lakh tonnes).
The volume of dry cargo including containers was 28.42 mt (28.79 mt) and liquid cargo 8.65 mt (9.66 mt), the release added.
