[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]India Gateway Terminal, operated by DP World, has achieved a breakthrough in container traffic by handling a volume of half million TEU in 372 days.
Registering a 17 per cent increase in volume in FY17, the terminal also handled the highest monthly volume of more than 45,000 TEU in March.
In FY17, the terminal witnessed an increase of over 60 per cent in coir exports, along with a major jump of over 200 per cent in apple and orange imports.
IGT has established a stellar role on the global transhipment route. Raw cashews from East Africa were shipped to IGT and then transhipped to other South Indian ports, including Mengaluru and Tuticorin.
The terminal handled 8.5 per cent more vessels from the bouquet of 14 vessel services, including six mainline services. It also maintained an average GCR (gross crane rate) of 31 moves per hour and a truck turnaround time of 26 minutes, gate-to-gate.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
