Essar's Ports business, which operates four terminals on the east and
west coasts of India, has registered a 23.5 per cent growth in cargo
volumes in FY20, with a throughput of 49.22 million tonnes (MT).
In
terms of their fourth quarter performance, the terminals recorded a
4.63 per cent growth in cargo, with a throughput of 11.08 MT. The lower
growth in cargo volumes in the quarter is largely on account of
disruption in global business in wave of coronavirus spread.
Rajiv
Agarwal, MD & CEO, Essar Ports Ltd, said: "While the mitigation
measures adopted to control the Covid-19 outbreak have given rise to
several limitations, the high mechanization at our facilities have
enabled them to continue to operate and service customers, thus allowing
them to meet the cargo handling requirements of the nation."
Essar
Ports current operations span four terminals - Hazira, Vizag, Salaya,
Paradip - with a combined capacity of 110 MTPA, which is roughly 5
percent of India's port capacity.
Outside India, Essar's ports
business operates an oil terminal in Stanlow, United Kingdom, and has a
coal berth in the development stage at Mozambique's Beira port.
