Delta Ports Mormugao Terminal Private Ltd (DMTPL), the Public-Private Partnership operator at the Mormugao Port Authority (MPA) in Goa, has set a new cargo handling record by loading 30,581 metric tonnes of iron ore pellets in a single day.

The milestone was achieved on 16 June when the MV Vishva Chetna berthed at Berth No. X for cargo loading. The vessel is transporting a total of 67,500 metric tonnes of iron ore pellets to Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Private Limited (MRPPL).

This achievement marks the highest single-day loading of iron ore pellets at the port, showcasing the strong coordination between DMTPL and MPA teams. MPA Chairman Dr. N.

The accomplishment sets a new benchmark in cargo handling capacity and underlines the terminal’s readiness to meet the rising demands of global trade.
