Dhamra Port Handles Record Coal Import for Tata Steel

In a major boost to Odisha’s maritime and industrial capabilities, Dhamra Port has handled its largest-ever imported coking coal consignment, totalling 186,782 metric tonnes, brought in by Tata Steel Ltd, one of India’s leading steel producers. The shipment arrived aboard a massive vessel measuring 299.95 metres in length, with a 50-metre beam and an 18.40-metre draft, underscoring the port’s capacity to berth and unload ultra-large carriers with efficiency.
This milestone reinforces Dhamra Port’s position as a leading deep-draft facility on India’s eastern coast and reflects its expanding role in facilitating bulk imports for the country’s heavy industries. Operated by the Adani Group, the port’s state-of-the-art infrastructure and efficient cargo handling were key to this achievement.
The seamless unloading operation strengthens the supply chain for the steel sector while demonstrating Odisha’s strategic importance as a global trade hub for raw material imports. The coordinated efforts of port authorities, shipping agents, and stakeholders ensured smooth execution, further establishing Dhamra Port as a vital contributor to regional economic growth.
