Visakhapatnam: In an attempt to mitigate the coal shortage caused by the delayed release of coal from Adani Gangavaram Port Limited (AGPL), Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL), the corporate entity of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, has redirected two stranded vessels to Visakhapatnam Port Authority, where it successfully berthed a vessel on Friday. The coal is now being unloaded, RINL said.
The company is completing the Customs formalities and plans to transport the cargo via railways soon. Moreover, RINL has secured an additional 40,000 tonnes of coal from sources which have landed at the port.
With increased coal availability, RINL plans to gradually increase its production levels. RINL has been in constant contact with AGPL regarding the transfer of 82,000 tonnes of limestone and 220,000 tonnes of coking coal.
