Chennai port blocked, but container backlog clearance expected today

2012 04 02


INDIAN Chennai has suspended vessel operations at its main terminal due to backlog of containers and strikes until today, Monday.

Officials said nearly 8,000 containers were piled at the port, resulting from back-to-back strikes which resulted in a pile up of containers.

"If we continue operations, container storage will exceed the limits. It will take at least four days for normality to return. So we have decided to hold back vessels till April 2 to clear the pending cargo," said a port official.
