Tuticorin allocates berth on priority basis to TANGEDCO

August 1: Tuticorin Port has decided to allocate a dedicated berth on priority basis for coastal coal vessels carrying coal to Tuticorin Thermal Power Station (TTPS) of TANGEDCO, which is facing low stocks position.

According to information available with ICMW, the port authorities have decided to allow next 1-2 coal vessels for TTPS to berth at no. 9 or VOC-3/4 of the port to discharge the coal on priority basis.

“This priority is applied by TANGEDCO due to low stocks of coal at the plant. Once the stock reaches the desired amount, the vessels will have to wait and discharge at CJ-1/2 only,” a port source said.
