Chennai Port has achieved a significant milestone in break-bulk cargo handling, recording more than 140,000 tonnes of break-bulk cargo in June, marking a 100% increase compared to the same month last year.
The impressive growth reflects the port’s expanding role as a preferred gateway for handling a wide range of break-bulk commodities, including commercial vehicles, steel coils, heavy machinery, and project cargo.
To support rising cargo volumes and improve operational efficiency, Chennai Port is undertaking major infrastructure upgrades. These include the development of four new covered transit sheds, additional paved storage yards, and wider internal roads, aimed at enhancing cargo handling capacity and streamlining logistics.
The expansion initiatives are expected to strengthen Chennai Port’s ability to accommodate future trade growth while reinforcing its position as one of India’s leading break-bulk cargo hubs.
