EXTREME weather has caused chaos in and near Mundra Port, further pressuring the outward flow of cargo and exacerbating capacity concerns as volume builds up, reports New York's Sourcing Journal.
Multiple reports from Indian logistics publication Logistics Insider and supply chain publication, London's Loadstar said shipping operations at Mundra were put at a standstill for three days last week.
The reports indicated it could take up to an extra week, or even longer, for cargo flow to improve, subject to weather events fading.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a 'red alert' warning for several districts in the western state of Gujarat due to the heavy rains and ensuing flooding ahead of the formation of Cyclone Asna.
Adverse weather has not only caused delays in vessel berthing but has also disrupted cargo rail movements in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat, FreightMango said. More than 50 per cent of Mundra's volumes move by rail or is held at one of its local inland container depots (ICDs).
Mumbai's Jawaharlal Nehru Port, also known as Nhava Sheva Port, also took on some impact as supply chains feel the ripple effects of the flood.
