DP World post 35% increase in June throughput at Cochin ICTT

International Container Transshipment Terminal (ICTT) at Cochin operated by DP World has registered a 35 per cent increase in June compared to the previous month by handling over 81,000 TEUs.

The company in a statement said that the growth reflects the terminal’s enhanced throughput capacity and sustained performance efficiency.

In June, DP World Cochin successfully handled 54 vessels, including several mother ships—highlighting the terminal’s operational strength and its critical role in India’s logistics ecosystem. Cochin is directly connected to mainline services linking South East Asia, the Middle East, and the Far East.

Dipin Kayyath, Chief Executive Officer – Ports & Terminals – DP World Cochin, said, “Achieving over 81,000 TEU mark in June, reflects the trust our customers place in DP World Cochin and our proficient operations. This milestone reinforces our role as a critical enabler of trade, connecting India to key global markets. We remain committed to expanding our capabilities, driving efficiency, and supporting the growth of sustainable and resilient supply chains.”

The terminal’s power infrastructure has been upgraded from 3 MVA to 5 MVA, ensuring uninterrupted operations even during peak demand periods. The full electrification of yard equipment has significantly reduced the carbon footprint of cargo handling, providing customers with a sustainability-driven competitive advantage.

Kochi’s strategic location offers critical coastal connectivity to ports across India, from Gujarat to Kolkata, and serves as a key transit point for coastal cargo movement between the east and west coasts. Besides, DP World-developed Kerala’s first Free Trade Warehousing Zone (FTWZ)—India’s only such facility co-located within a major port—which continues to serve as a vital enabler of EXIM trade and regional economic growth.
