The Ministry of Shipping has been promoting coastal shipping for cost and time-effective transportation of cargo along the Indian coast. The ongoing cement logistics comprising movement of fly ash raw material from APGENCO and TPCIL plants near Krishnapatnam Port to Penna Cements grinding station at the Port and then transportation from a dedicated berth through a dedicated vessel service Penna Suraksha to its packing terminal in Kochi is a classic example of a modal shift to a successful coastal cargo operation. Kochi already has three other bagging terminals of Ambuja, UltraTech and Zuari.
Krishnapatnam Port has been contributing to coastal movement of cement and other cargoes to both east and west coasts of India. According to the Ministry of Shipping, such modal shift in transport of cement from road and rail to sea is a step towards promoting cost-effective and environment-friendly means of transportation as envisaged under the Sagarmala Programme.
