JM Baxi Tuticorin Container Terminal has achieved a significant operational milestone with the safe discharge of 47 Out of Gauge (OOG) units from the vessel SSL Krishna, marking the highest number of OOG units handled from a single vessel at the terminal.
The record underscores the terminal’s growing capability in managing complex and oversized cargo, a segment that demands meticulous coordination and specialised handling expertise. OOG cargo, which includes heavy and irregularly shaped equipment, requires precise planning, customised lifting arrangements, and stringent safety measures during discharge operations.
According to terminal officials, the successful handling of the consignment was made possible through seamless coordination among operational teams, detailed pre-arrival planning, and strict adherence to safety protocols. The operation was executed without incident, reflecting the terminal’s focus on efficiency and risk management.
This achievement further strengthens Tuticorin Container Terminal’s position as a reliable gateway for project cargo on India’s east coast, catering to industries that rely on the movement of heavy and over-dimensional equipment.
The milestone also highlights JM Baxi’s continued commitment to operational excellence and its ability to handle increasingly complex logistics requirements in the maritime sector.
