India Takes Delivery of Largest-Ever Fert Vessel

Indian Potash Ltd.  (IPL) has taken delivery of India’s first fertilizer ship to date to have transported more than 100,000 mt of fertilizer to the country.

The Patricia Oldendorff, loaded with 100,280 mt of Moroccan DAP, discharged at Adani Mundra Port on India’s northwest coast in less than four days, according to a Dec. 4 report by South Asian news agency ANI News, citing IPL Managing Director Parvinder Singh Gahlaut.

OCP Group SA reported last month that it had set a new loading record at the port of Jorf Lasfar on Oct. 24 with the loading of the Patricia Oldendorff with “more than 100,000 mt” of cargo for discharge in India (GM Nov. 17, p. 30).
