Visakhapatnam Port Authority (VPA) set a new record by handling 7,639 tonnes of bulk cargo, including 637 tonnes of calcined alumina in bulk from M/S. Utkal Alumina International Limited. This surpassed the previous record of 7,549 tonnes set in November 2023, with the cargo being loaded onto vessel MV HPC Future at East Quay-3.
Port Secretary T. Venugopal described the achievement as a remarkable hat-trick by stevedores M/s. Sravan Shipping Private Limited and M/s. Eswar Shipping Services, with the latter serving as the steamship agent for the vessel. This record-setting production in 2023-24 is a significant accomplishment for the port.
VPA Chairman Dr. M Angamuthu commended the stevedores, steamer agents, and port traffic manager B Ratna Sekhara Rao for their efforts, expressing confidence that more records would be set at VPA to meet the ministry’s objectives.
