Adani Hazira Port Achieves Record Chemical Turnaround, Safely Offloading 72,000 MT Parcel from Deep-Draft Tanker 'Fairchem Sword'
Demonstrating its deepwater liquid cargo handling capability along India's western industrial corridor, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ) Hazira has recorded an operational milestone by safely discharging a record-breaking 72,000 metric tonnes (MT) chemical parcel from a single deep-draft parcel tanker. The historic discharge was completed following the berthing of the specialized chemical and product carrier 'Fairchem Sword' at the multi-user terminal. Terminal operations achieved rapid pump rates and zero-incident discharge standards directly into dockside tank farms, setting a new benchmark for the single largest chemical consignment processed across Hazira's liquid berths. The achievement underscores Hazira Port’s strategic positioning as a premier deep-draft Gateway for large-scale liquid bulk and specialized chemical imports serving high-demand petrochemical, specialty chemical, and manufacturing clusters across South Gujarat, Maharashtra, and the wider western hinterland. Key Operational Highlights & Terminal Infrastructure Record-Breaking Liquid Bulk Parcel: Handling a 72,000 MT specialized chemical shipment marks the highest single-vessel liquid parcel processed at Adani Hazira Port, validating the terminal’s capacity to berth and turnaround large chemical tankers without lighterage requirements. Rapid Discharge Dynamics: Modern marine loading arms, multi-product stainless-steel transfer lines, and high-capacity manifold connections allowed the terminal to maintain sustained discharge rates, significantly cutting vessel turnaround time and minimizing demurrage risks for industrial importers. Integrated Tank-Farm Synergies: The cargo was evacuated directly into high-integrity bonded bulk liquid storage facilities co-located at the port, featuring dedicated pipeline headers, automated level monitoring, and specialized safety systems for hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals. Deep-Draft Maritime Advantage: With all-weather operations, sheltered deepwater draft, and advanced vessel traffic management, Hazira consistently accommodates higher-deadweight chemical and petroleum parcel tankers that cannot enter draft-restricted riverine or tidal ports. Industrial Corridor Integration: The terminal serves as a critical supply conduit for major industrial belts, including Hazira, Dahej, Ankleshwar, and the Vapi-Surat chemical manufacturing corridor, ensuring reliable feedstock supply for downstream polymer, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical plants.
