The Paradip Port achieved another milestone by handling the highest-ever cargo traffic of 6,49,730 metric tonnes in a single day on Wednesday.
While congratulating the Team PPA on this stupendous performance, PPA Chairman PL Haranadh also offered his heartfelt thanks to all stakeholders for their constant support and immense contribution.
Notably, after dredging of the northern dock recently, the port had successfully berthed MV Golden Barnet, a Cape vessel of 16.20-MTR draft carrying 1,46,554 tonnes of coking coal at the KICT Berth.
As the Paradip Port is vying for the coveted 125-MMT-cargo handling mark in the current fiscal, it has urged the stakeholders to take advantage of Cape handling facilities in the port to achieve better efficiency and economies of scale.
