<p data-path-to-node="5">In a major operational achievement for maritime logistics along India’s eastern seaboard, <b data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="109">Kamarajar Port Limited (KPL)</b> has established a new East Coast record by handling an unprecedented <b data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="207">11,240 TEUs</b> during a single vessel call.</p><p data-path-to-node="6">The historic container parcel exchange was executed at the <b data-path-to-node="6" data-index-in-node="59">Adani Ennore Container Terminal (AITL)</b> on the container vessel <b data-path-to-node="6" data-index-in-node="122">MSC Rapallo</b>. The monumental operation surpassed previous single-call volume records on the East Coast, underscoring Ennore’s emerging status as a high-capacity deepwater transshipment and gateway alternative capable of servicing mainline mega-carriers.</p><p data-path-to-node="7">The record-setting parcel interchange comprised intensive dual quayside operations, clocking high crane productivity rates across ship-to-shore (STS) gantries to sustain seamless discharge and backloading cycles. The benchmark reinforces Kamarajar Port’s operational maturity, highlighting its capability to absorb massive volume surges without compromising yard dwell times, gate fluidity, or intermodal hinterland evacuation.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="9">Key Operational Highlights &amp; Throughput Records</h3><ul data-path-to-node="10"><li><p data-path-to-node="10,0,0"><b data-path-to-node="10,0,0" data-index-in-node="0">Unprecedented Single-Vessel Exchange:</b> Handling 11,240 TEUs in a single call marks the highest parcel volume ever moved across a single container ship along India's entire East Coast maritime rim.</p></li><li><p data-path-to-node="10,1,0"><b data-path-to-node="10,1,0" data-index-in-node="0">Mainline Vessel Support:</b> The smooth turnaround of the <i data-path-to-node="10,1,0" data-index-in-node="54">MSC Rapallo</i> demonstrates AITL’s navigational capability to accommodate high-capacity mainline container vessels with deep drafts and wide beam profiles.</p></li><li><p data-path-to-node="10,2,0"><b data-path-to-node="10,2,0" data-index-in-node="0">High Quayside Crane Productivity:</b> Quay crane intensity and synchronized yard movements enabled fast container cycle times, demonstrating the mechanical reliability of automated terminal assets during ultra-large cargo exchanges.</p></li><li><p data-path-to-node="10,3,0"><b data-path-to-node="10,3,0" data-index-in-node="0">Hinterland &amp; Rail Evacuation Sync:</b> Seamless coordination with container train operators and trucking logistics prevented yard congestion during the discharge and backloading of the multi-thousand-TEU parcel.</p></li><li><p data-path-to-node="10,4,0"><b data-path-to-node="10,4,0" data-index-in-node="0">Strengthening the Chennai-Ennore Cluster:</b> The milestone positions Ennore as a critical capacity buffer and co-gateway alongside Chennai Port, bolstering overall container handling resilience across the South Indian manufacturing belt.</p></li></ul>
