VPT handles 69.84 million tonnes of cargo during FY2020-21
Visakhapatnam, Apr 3 (UNI) Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) has handled 69.84 million tonnes of cargo during the fiscal 2020-21.
The VPT recorded a shortfall of about three million tonnes during the financial year 2020-21 as against 72.72 million tonnes achieved during the previous fiscal, VPT Chairman K Rama Mohana Rao said at a press conference here on Saturday.
Though the Port Trust had shown its resilience against severe disruption in supply chains and economic downturn due to COVID-19 pandemic, it maintained third position among major ports for the second consecutive year, he said.
The Chairman said the VPT could restrict the decline to four percent whereas the decline recorded 7 per cent in all major ports in the country.
