Port operations resumed

27 Nov 2020 / Tamil Nadu coast, India

The ports of Karaikal, Ennore, Chennai and Kattupalli ports have resumed operations following an improvement in bad weather brought by Cyclonic Storm ‘Nivar’.

At Krishnapatnam, re-berthing of shifted vessels commenced by 2100 hours yesterday (26 November). Cargo operations resumed at mechanical berths at 0945 hours today. The port has decided to shift working vessels back to anchorage due to strong undercurrent with flood water, resulting in Manual Berths being unable to hold vessels. Heavy rainfall continues in the region and the same weather expected for next 48 hours.

Port operations are still suspended at Kakinada DWP and Anchorage due to heavy rainfall and gales.
