V.O. Chidambaranar Port (formerly Tuticorin port) has created a new record in the handling of rock phosphate.
On September 8, the port discharged 26,527 tonnes of rock phosphate from the vessel Anemos. This was the highest-ever achieved at the port in a single day.
While PSTS Logistics was the stevedore, AMJ Shipping was the steamer agent for the vessel. The cargo was imported by Sterlite Industries, which has a manufacturing plant in Tuticorin.
The previous record in rock phosphate handling was 24,100 tonnes achieved on October 1, 2003 in the vessel Daryagyan, says a press release from the port.
