Associated British Ports ' investment converted two storage tanks and installed new ship-to-shore pipelines as part of a five year contract to handle the new business of Arkady Feed .

The MV Orakota , the first ship to call at the new facility, discharged 2,500 tons of molasses sourced from Pakistan.

This diversification into liquid feedstuff will further strengthen the port's position in this trade sector.'
