Deendayal Port Authority has carried out its first triple banking ship-to-ship (STS) operation at Kandla, handling a complex cargo transfer between three vessels at sea.
The port shared the update on X, calling it a historic operation completed with high precision at a strong tidal location.
In this operation, a Capesize vessel discharged 1,17,000 tons of cargo to a transshipment vessel.
After that, a tandem transfer of 77,000 tons was carried out to a Panamax vessel. The port said the entire process was completed smoothly despite challenging tidal conditions.
Earlier on March 13, the port authority had said it was preparing to handle a sharp rise in traffic. It expected to manage 22 vessels within 72 hours and stated that systems were in place to handle the increased arrivals and adjust to reconfigured voyages while maintaining service standards.
