The Adani Ennore Container Terminal (AECT),
situated at Kamarajar Port in Ennore, 30 km north of Chennai Port, is a modern
and strategically positioned box terminal. This facility handles a diverse
range of cargo types and is equipped with advanced infrastructure to support
its operations. Currently, AECT has an annual capacity of 0.8 million TEUs
(Twenty-foot Equivalent Units), with the potential to expand this capacity to
1.4 million TEUs annually to meet growing demand. The terminal benefits from
its strategic location, offering 24/7 access via congestion-free roads, which
facilitates smooth cargo movement. Additionally, it features on-dock rail
siding services that connect directly to Bengaluru, providing efficient
transportation options to the deep hinterland. AECT is also well-integrated
with Chennai's primary hinterland through connections to all Container Freight
Stations (CFSs) and four major National Highways, enhancing its connectivity
and logistical efficiency. Moreover, AECT has recently formed a partnership
with Mundi, an indirect subsidiary of TiL and an associate of Mediterranean
Shipping Company. This collaboration is expected to further strengthen the
terminal's operations and expand its network, reinforcing its position as a key
player in the region's cargo handling and logistics sector.
