Average pre-berthing time at Chennai Port in India FY 1991-2022
In the financial year 2022, the average time before a cargo ship was berthed at the Chennai Port in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu reduced to zero day. Among all the major ports, this port had the lowest pre-berthing time in that year. This waiting time was due to the non-port account. In simple terms, pre-berthing time is the time the ship or the vessel needed to wait before it could enter the berth. The port sector of the South Asian country handled over 1.3 billion metric tons of cargo in 2022. A major portion of this cargo was handled by the major ports.
