VOC port slashes vessel anchorage delays by over 60%

VOC Port has significantly reduced its Pre-Berthing Detention Time by 63.08%, bringing it down from 31.20 hours in April–June 2024 to just 11:52 hours in the same period of 2025. This improvement stems from accelerated infrastructure enhancements, including:

• Commissioning of North Cargo Berth-II & III for bulk cargo operations
• Deployment of five Harbour Mobile Cranes
• Introduction of crawler cranes to efficiently handle windmill blades

These strategic upgrades have streamlined vessel turnaround and strengthened VOC Port’s operational efficiency.
