Adani Hazira Port Handles Record Rock Phosphate

 

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) today said its Hazira port had recently handled a record quantity of rock phosphate of 188,684 metric tonnes, highest amongst any commercial port in single calendar month.
 
With this feat, Adani Hazira Port surpassed Kandla Port’s all time best of handling the similar cargo of 182,748 metric tonnes in June 2012.
 
With this, Adani Hazira port has established a unique position in the handling of rock phosphate on the west coast of India. Rock Phosphate is the key raw material for manufacturing of Phosphoric acid, and Single Super Phosphate fertilizer.
 
This milestone has been achieved due to sustained patronage of the SSP manufacturers and persistence support of the suppliers and traders of rock phosphate and the transporter fraternity.
 
Adani Hazira Port has five fully operational berths out of the 13 planned, with a potential to handle 75 MMTPA of cargo in coming years.
 
Adani Hazira Port is destined to emerge as the largest multiproduct commercial port in South Gujarat due to its strategic location advantage to serve the hinterland of South and Central Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, North Maharashtra and North Rajasthan.
