mented at a cost of `2029 crore.

Speed is what sets a port apart

from its contemporaries and

competitors. We at JNPT are

committed to provide minimal

turnaround time, fast movement

of consignments and prompt

delivery to our customers. With

your continued support, I am very

confident that we will take JNPT to

the next level and make JNPT as

India’s go to port by the EXIM

trade. I also take this opportunity

to express gratitude to our Hon-

ourable Prime Minister, Shri

Narendra Modi and Honourable

Union Minister for Shipping,

Road, Transport & Highways,

Shri Nitin Gadkari in laying the

roadmap for progress and

development of ports under the

Sagarmala programme. I would

also like to thank my fellow

colleagues, staff and their families

for their continuous support in

helping JNPT maintain its position

as India’s number 1 Port of Call.

FROM THE CHAIRMAN’S DESKIt gives me great pleasure to share

with you the impressive and sustained

progress being achieved by JNPT,

India’s No.1 Container Port. The year

ending March 2017, JNPT achieved a

great land-mark as the total volume

soared to a record high 4.5 Million

TEUs, the highest in the history of

JNPT since 1989 and Port owned

Container Terminal, JNPCT achieved

the highest ever volume of 1.53

Million TEUs container traffic.

I take this opportunity to thank each

one of you for this phenomenal

achievement and would like to assure

you that we will take all steps that will

facilitate the EXIM trade and thus

contribute to the growth of the

country. With our persistent efforts

together, we have been able to

reduce congestion to zero levels. I

also take this opportunity to inform

you that JNPT is taking many steps to

achieve ease of doing business for

the benefit of the Trade and contrib-

ute to the economic growth of the

country. In the recent past, JNPT has

taken many initiatives for faster and

economical operations along with

automation that has helped stream-

line processes resulting in reduction

of documentations, costs and time. To

empower trade in taking the right

business decisions, JNPT has brought

about more transparency by sharing

all relevant information about the

port and other stakeholder with our

customers. JNPT is continuously

upgrading and expanding its facilities

to meet the growing demand. The

expansion of container berth and

other facilities at JN Port, develop-

ment of fourth container terminal,

deepening and widening of Mumbai

Harbour channel and JN Port Chan-

nel, Widening of NH-4B, SH-54 and

Amra Marg to 6/8 lanes, restructur-

ing of Container Yard for optimal

yard utilisation, Construction of ROB

Near NhavaSheva Police station,

Modernisation of Cargo Handling

Equipment’s RTGCs, Development of

Common Rail.I also want to share the

good news for quarter one as the

growth momentum is growing strong.

The premier port posted a 5.11 per

cent growth in container traffic by

handling at 1.20 million TEUs as

compared to 1.14 million TEUs in the

corresponding quarter of the last

financial year. JNPT is guided by

customer-centric approach in the last

2-3 years and the same approach

will continue in the coming months so

as to offer a great boost to EXIM

trade from JNPT. With a view to

further promote trade, the Capital

JNPT PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS FOR FY 16-17

JNPT TO ACQUIRE 15 NOS. NEWELECTRICALLY POWERED RUBBER TYRED GANTRY CRANES

Shri Nitin Gadkari, Honourable

Minister for Shipping, Road Transport

& Highways laid foundation stone for

projects worth `1117.03 crore at

Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT).

Honourable Minister Shri Nitin Gadkari

Shri Gadkari informed that a coordi-

nator will be appointed to look into

the requirements of these new

companies and will help train the

local youth from Raigad and Konkan

areas to meet their specific needs.

He said the government’s aim is

to increase efficiency and improve

the development in and around

the port areas by continuously

undertaking new initiatives.

At the end of FY 2016-17, Jawaharlal

Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) continued its

flagship position as India’s biggest

container port with a share of 54%

among the major ports. The year also

witnessed major initiatives from JNPT

under the ‘Ease of Doing Business’

ambit which has translated into

significant savings in time and cost for

the EXIM trade. JNPT now ranks 32nd

among the 100 major global contain-

er ports. JNPT achieved an all-time high container volume of 4.5 Million TEUs in FY 2016-17.

The port directly operates one

container terminal and its PPP termi-

nals are operated by APMT and DP

World. The liquid traffic at the port

increased over previous year by

4.25% to achieve 6.78 million tonnes.

The port handled a modest quantity of

0.82 MT of Dry Bulk (cement) which

registered a growth of 21.01%. The

operating income of JNPT in FY

2016-17 is `1677.9 crore with a PBT

of `1303 crore. The PBT has

increased by 19% from the previous

year figure of `1909 crore. The

container terminal directly operated

and managed by JNPT/JNPCT recorded a growth of 7.5% and achieved the highest ever volume of 1.53 Million TEUs container traffic since its

inception in 1989.

JNPT has placed an order on M/s.

Sany Group Co Ltd, China, for supply

of 15 nos. new electrically operated

Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes (RTGC).

The first lot of 06 nos. of RTGCs is

expected to arrive at JNPT in July

2017 and second batch of 09 nos. of

RTGCs will follow. With the augmen-

tation of these RTGCs, 06 nos old

RTGCs will be replaced and fleet

strength of RTGCs in JNPCT will

become 27nos. (15 new + 12 exist-

ing). These RTGCs are electrically

powered as against the conventional

diesel engine powered, which will

become cost economical as well as

less maintenance and environment

friendly. These new e-RTGCs will have

two twin twenty container

handling mechanism with 50MT

capacity under spreader (as

against 40MT with single lift of

existing RTGCs). These new

RTGCs will help in improving the

container handling in the yard

and supporting the vessel opera-

tion in improving the terminal

productivity. There will be indirect

job generation in the associated

EXIM trade due to the induction

of these new RTGCs, as there will

be requirement of additional

Tractor Trailer drivers, surveyors,

vessel/shipping agents, Customs

House agents, etc.

CAFE JNPTTRAFFIC MANAGERS OF 12 MAJOR PORTS VISIT JN PORT TO SEE EASE OF DOING BUSINESS INITIATIVES

Ease of Doing Business has been a

major concern of the centre and it has

been urging all the sectors to take

steps towards achieving it. Under the

guidance of the government, all the

major ports have shown a keen

interest in promoting the ease of

doing business so that the perfor-

mance of the port keeps registering

growth and adding to the economy of

the nation. Arriving at a solution,

JNPT has taken the lead and imple-

mented Inter-Terminal movement of

Tractor Trailers reducing 10% cargo &

rail incentive reducing 4% cargo

which turned highly successful in

reducing the congestion and helped

in optimal utilisation of the available

infrastructure. JNPT also has been the

first port in implementing RFID-based

gate automation process which has

standardised the gate processes

resulting in a reduction of gate-in

time. Along with these, there have

been other initiatives, where JNPort

has initiated Logistics data bank

tagging for tracking of containers,

installation of radiological detection

equipment at all the gates, Direct Port

Delivery, Direct Port entry, etc. With an

intention to share our success stories,

a productive experience-sharing

session was organised at JNPT on 6

March for all the Traffic Managers of

major ports. JNPort also shared their

experience in handling the anxiety of

the Trade which was very crucial in

reducing congestion, as due to the

unpredictability of time Trade had

started sending their consignments

much in advance, aggravating the

congestion problem. The Traffic

Managers were given a detailed

presentation on Ease of Doing

Business initiatives along with Gate

Automation by Chief Manager

(Traffic), Dr.Unnikrishnan Nair, and
