In a stunning display of operational efficiency, Deendayal Port Authority (DPA), Kandla, has set a new benchmark by discharging a mammoth 81,024 tonnes of coal in just 24 hours from the vessel M.V. MARATHOS at Cargo Berth No. 7, the highest single-day coal discharge ever recorded at the port.

According to port authorities, the record-breaking operation, completed with unmatched speed, precision and seamless coordination, reinforces DPA Kandla’s position as India’s leading major port for cargo handling excellence and maritime efficiency.

The feat was made possible through flawless teamwork between DPA and its execution partners — Shree Ashapura Stevedores (A unit of Ashapura Shipping Group), Seascape Shipping Agency India Pvt. Ltd. (Vessel Agent), Shri Balaji Infraport (A unit of Ashapura Shipping Group) (CHA), and Balaji Malts Private Limited  (Importer).

Congratulating the teams involved, port authorities described the achievement as “a proud testament to DPA’s operational excellence and undisputed maritime leadership.”

This latest milestone adds another glittering feather to Deendayal Port’s cap, already recognised as India’s No. 1 major port for the sixth consecutive year in cargo throughput.
