The Integrated Cargo Terminal Pvt. Ltd. (ICTPL) on Wednesday announced a record-breaking performance in bulk cargo handling.
On March 11, 2026, the terminal loaded a staggering 19,150 Metric Tonnes (MT) of manganese ore onto the vessel M.V. MEGHNA LIBERTY at the West Quay-6 (WQ-6) berth of the Visakhapatnam Port Authority.
