Kattupalli Port has restored normal export gate carting for vessels, the port operator said in a trade advisory.
“Carting will be opened only for one vessel per service,” Adani Kattupalli Port Pvt Ltd said in the advisory to customers.
On December 11, Adani Kattupalli Port said it was “temporarily suspending” accepting export containers for vessels calling at the port from December 18.
The container terminal operations at Kattupalli were disrupted by a three-day work stoppage due to cyclone Nivar from November 24 to 26, followed by the receding impact of cyclone Buveri till December 8, resulting in surging inventory levels and a delay in berthing of vessels.

Adani Kattupalli Port Pvt Ltd, which runs the Kattupalli port near Chennai, has said it will “temporarily suspend” accepting export containers from vessels calling at the port from December 18.
“In our endeavour to maintain yard inventories within acceptable levels and to ensure vessels are quickly turned around without any delay, we are constrained to temporarily suspend accepting exports for vessels which are expected to call from December 18, commencing with MV X-Press Jersey,” Adani Kattupalli Port said in a trade advisory issued on Friday.
The export gate carting will be restored once terminal inventories and vessel delays are brought under manageable levels, it said.
