Power failure at APM Terminals Pipavav impacts the port operations adversely

APM Terminals Pipavav hereby informs customers and partners that the port operations are impacted owing to the power failure at the port. On 29th May 2023 evening strong winds uprooted the power transmission towers of Gujarat Electricity Transmission Company Limited (GETCO) outside the port area resulting into disruption of the grid power supply.

As per GETCO, the complete restoration of grid power supply is likely to take place in about 7 days’ time. Meanwhile, the port has commenced partial operations through its captive power plant and the DG sets. 

We are content to inform that no damage is reported to personnel and infrastructure at the port. The Quay side operation is halted completely however the rail and gate operations continue. We are maintaining back up power supply to the reefer cargoes. 

Owing to the current situation, the container berth will remain non-operational till 2359 hours of 5th June 2023. The port may handle the container vessel earliest by 6th June 2023 subject to regularizing power supply. The Company shall keep the trade updated once the port gets back to normal operations. 

For any queries, you may reach out to our customer care / commercial team on service.pipavav@apmterminals.com.

Thank you

APM Terminals Pipavav [GPPL]
