VOC Port in Tamil Nadu, the southernmost state of India, has achieved a new milestone by handling 103 windmill blades on November 11, 2025.
This is the first time that such a massive number of blades have been handled at the facility.
The port’s earlier record stood at 101 blades, which were exported on August 22, 2025.
Up to October 2025, the port handled 2300 windmill blades, a 61% rise over the 1425 blades handled in the corresponding period of 2024.
The blades arrived on board the ship MV GHT MARINAS from the Chinese port of Qinzhou.
The shipment is being dealt with at the additional berth-II with the help of 2 mobile cranes, ensuring safe and efficient handling.
Blades of 89.5 m and 76.8 m length need specialised handling and dedicated storage arrangements.
The port has a storage area spanning 1,00,000 square metres within the customs area to accommodate such massive cargo.
The port also boasts congestion-free road connectivity and a highly skilled workforce.
