|
| Two major ports were paralysed! Vessels are severely delayed. Massive backlogs of cargo. |

Ports on the west coast of India, particularly the port of Mundra, have suffered operational disruptions, vessel delays and cargo backlogs due to surges in cargo volumes and extreme weather. Recovery could take a week or more, as the weather continues to affect the port. The plight of the Mundra port is affecting the regional supply chain in a ripple effect, with the Nhava Sheva port also facing severe traffic congestion.
Ports on India's west coast, particularly the container transport hub of Mundra Port, are facing unprecedented operational pressures. This challenge stems not only from capacity constraints due to continued growth in cargo volumes, but is also overlaid with severe disruptions to port operations caused by extreme weather events.
The port of Mundra, a key node for the country's containerised trade, was hit hard last week when heavy rains and flooding hit India's coast. Shipping companies reported that vessels at the port suffered severe delays and the entire shipping system was paralysed for at least three days due to the floods, leading to a huge backlog of cargo.
Adani Ports (APSEZ), the flagship entity that operates five container terminals including the Mundra International Container Terminal (MICT) under the Dubai Ports Worldwide (DP World) concession, is fully committed to clearing the backlog of cargoes and working towards restoring normal berthing of vessels. However, it is expected that the resumption of cargo flow may take a week or more due to the continued impact of the weather.
