Though the second container terminal was to be inaugurated by April-end, it was be deferred by more than a month due to delay in getting confirmation about the arrival of vessels along with contractors’ delay in finishing the work.
K Suresh, ChPT chairman, said that the second container terminal would commence operations by June 4 or 5.
“The terminal has a capacity to handle 1.5 million TEUs. Initially, it will start operations with a quay length of 400 metres.”
