Gangavaram Port sets record in timber log handling

Adani Ports and SEZ’s Gangavaram port in Andhra Pradesh has achieved a record single day handing of 4,392 metric tonnes of timber logs for the vessel MV Mangusta. This had come close to a record 4,206 metric tonnes a day before, surpassing the port’s previous single day record of 2,900 metric tonnes by a whopping 52%.

According to the port, its success can be attributed to strategic investments made in infrastructures and among them upgraded cargo handling systems as well as improved railway facilities. It has greatly enhanced operational efficiency toward enabling a high volume cargo turnaround speed.

Adani Gangavaram Port management set out the commitment of the port to provide quality services to customers. With a focus on deep-water, modern infrastructure, the port has much to do in continually raising the operational bar in the next year.

“The success we have seen our customers experience by leveraging our efficient operations and the improved evacuation system demonstrates once again our efforts at promoting trade as well as delivering economic value to importers in India,” said the company.
