TICT Records Highest-Ever Monthly Throughput with 33,771 TEUs in September

The record performance highlights the growing momentum of container handling at VOC Port and reflects increasing activity at TICT. The terminal’s September throughput represents a new monthly benchmark for its container operations.    The handling of 33,771 TEUs during the month was achieved through the combined efforts of the terminal team, shipping lines, logistics operators, port authorities and other stakeholders involved in the movement of containerised cargo.    The latest milestone comes as VOC Port continues to strengthen its position as an important maritime gateway for southern India. Higher container volumes can support trade connectivity for exporters and importers across Tamil Nadu and neighbouring regions.    TICT’s performance also underlines the importance of efficient terminal infrastructure and vessel-handling capabilities in supporting rising containerised trade. Continued growth in throughput could further enhance the port’s role in regional and international supply chains.    The terminal acknowledged the contribution of its employees and stakeholders in achieving the September milestone, crediting their coordinated efforts for the record monthly performance.

With container traffic continuing to gain momentum, the latest achievement provides a positive indicator for the development of container operations at VOC Port and its contribution to India’s maritime trade.
