02 Dec 2025 / Tamil Nadu, India
** UPDATE 2 December 2025 **
Chennai, including Ennore and Kattupalli regions, has been experiencing moderate to heavy rains for the last 24 hours.
There are no disruptions to berthing/unberthing at the ports of Chennai, Ennore and Kattupalli, but cargo operations are partially affected due to incessant rain since last 24 hours.
Liquid bulk remains unaffected.
** UPDATE 1 December 2025 **
The Port of Kattupalli suspended all operations from 05:15 hours local time this morning (1 December) and has declared today a non-weather working days due to Cyclonic Storm Ditwah. The port will start re-berthing vessels when the weather becomes normal.
The cautionary signal at all Tamil Nadu Ports has been downgraded from No. IV to No. III, as the cyclone system has now weakened into a depression.
Chennai and Ennore have been experiencing continuous rainfall since last night. Currently, there are no disruptions to berthing or unberthing operations, but cargo operations are partially affected. Liquid bulk operations remain unaffected.
At Karaikal, berthing and unberthing operations resumed early this morning (1 December), but cargo operations are still being affected by the heavy rainfall over the last two days.
** 28 November 2025 **
Warning Bulletin No.7 has been issued for Tamil Nadu Ports related to Cyclonic Storm “Ditwah”, currently over coastal Sri Lanka and the adjoining southwest Bay of Bengal.
Ditwah has moved north–northwestwards and, as of 0530 hours local time today (28 November), is near latitude 8.2°N and longitude 81.1°E. The system is very likely to continue moving north–northwestwards across the Sri Lankan coast and adjoining southwest Bay of Bengal, reaching the area near North Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and south Andhra Pradesh coasts by the early morning of 30 November.
Karaikal Port is on high alert due to its proximity to the projected path of the weather system. However, cargo operations are currently continuing without suspension.
So far, no impact has been observed at Chennai, Ennore and Kattupalli ports, which continue to function normally, with no interruption to cargo operations.
