Congestion at Chennai to ease

Congestion due to bad weather at Chennai Container Terminal (CCT) is expected to ease by tomorrow, according to a DP World official.

Smaller vessels had to anchor outside Chennai port

DP World Chennai Director and CEO, Ennarasu Karunesan, was quoted saying that bad weather, poor road connectivity to the port, inefficient evacuation of containers to and from the port, and limited yard space have resulted in the congestion since last Wednesday.

These circumstances have forced port operator DP World Chennai to anchor up to five small vessels outside the port.

All vessels are expected to get a berth on arrival from tomorrow onwards.
