With more than a month to go before the current fiscal comes to a close, the Kandla Port Trust has already exceeded last fiscal’s total traffic figure of 82.5 million tonnes (mt) to achieve 82.87 mt, according to a press 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, the operator of which was served with a termination notice.
Total imports so far in the current fiscal were 56.29 mt compared with last year’s 60.1 mt and total exports, 26.41 mt (22.09 mt). The volume of transshipment cargo was 1.69 lakh tonnes (3.09 lakh tonnes). The figure for dry cargo, including containers, was 28.42 mt (28.79 mt) and for liquid cargo, 8.65 mt (9.66 mt), the release adds.
