January 07, 2021
The port handles 3.20 million tonnes in December
Cargo volumes and ship calls at Cochin Port Trust are exhibiting a recovery trend, despite overall decline in the nine months of the current fiscal.
The port handled the highest-ever monthly throughput of 3.20 million tonnes in December 2020, a growth of 10.55 per cent over December 2019.
Besides, the International Container Transhipment Terminal (ICTT) run by DP World at Cochin Port Trust, crossed 60,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in December, the fourth consecutive month to handle this level of containers since September 2020, as the global trade slowly rebounded from the slump induced by the pandemic.
