The vessel had sailed in from Colombo to discharge boxes and proceeded to Yangon with shipments of sugar from Kakinada. All the boxes handled were of BLPL Line. The operational team completed the planning of the vessel, factoring in the unpredictable rain, restows, etc., achieving an average productivity of 21.32 moves per hour.
