The vessel MT ZY Galaxy, carrying 15,000 tonnes of crude Palm Oil from
Kunak, Malaysia, berthed at VOC Port on 28 August 2026. The discharge
operations were formally launched by Shri Susanta Kumar Purohit, IRSEE,
Chairperson, VOC Port, in the presence of Shri Rajesh Soundararajan, IAS,
Deputy Chairperson, Shri K.T.V. Narayanan, Managing Director, KTV Health Food
Private Limited, and senior Port officials. The
development is supported by infrastructure established by KTV Health Food
Private Limited in the Port’s industrial zone, including four storage tanks and
a refining facility with a capacity to produce 1,000 tonnes of Palmolein per
day. The commissioning of this
dedicated handling facility is expected to strengthen VOC Port’s capabilities
in liquid bulk cargo handling, while improving connectivity between the port
and nearby industrial facilities. It also provides a more efficient logistics
channel for the movement of edible oil cargo from international origins to
regional processing and consumption centres.
With the handling of its first crude Palm Oil vessel at Coal Jetty–2,
VOC Port further reinforces its role as a key gateway for industrial cargo,
regional trade and supply-chain connectivity.
