CHENNAI PORT

Chennai Port is an emerging hub port on the east coast of India. This gateway port for all cargo has completed 128 years of service to India's maritime trade.

It was formerly known as Madras Port. The initial

CHENNAI PORT

CHENNAI PORT

piers were built in 1861, but the storms of 1868 and 1872 made them inoperative.

So an artificial harbour was built and the operations were started in 1881.In the first couple of years the port registered traffic of 30,00,00,000 tonnes of cargo handling 600 ships.

After independence the development activities of the port began.The topography of the port changed in 1964 when the Jawahar dock with capacity to berth 6 vessels to handle dry bulk cargoes was carved out on the southern side.

The Chennai port's share of Iron ore export from India is 12 per cent.

CHENNAI PORT

It has handled 6,10,57,000 tonnes of cargo from April 2009 to March 2010.

In 1983, the port heralded the country's first dedicated container terminal facility. Having the capability of handling fourth generation vessels, the terminal is ranked in the top 100 container ports in the world.

Atulya Mira is the chairman of the port.

CHENNAI PORT

The Chennai port is one among the major ports having terminal shunting yard and running their own Railway operations inside the harbour on the east coast.

COCHIN PORT

Cochin is the fastest growing maritime gateway to peninsular India. The Port of Cochin is located on the south west coast of India.

It is situated on the Willingdon Island which is an artificial Island tucked inside the backwaters. It was established in 1926.

COCHIN PORT

The Cochin port was formed naturally due the great floods of Periyar in 1341 AD, which choked the Muziris port (Kodungallur), one of the greatest ports in ancient world.

Ever since the choking of Muziris, Cochin became one of the major ports with extensive trading relations

Romans, Greeks and Arabs, all lured by the traditional spice wealth of the state

COCHIN PORT

The port further attracted European colonialists like Portuguese, Dutch and finally British who extended their supremacy over Kochi Kingdom and the port city of Fort Kochi.

The traditional port was located near Mattancherry (which still continues as Mattancherry Wharf).


COCHIN PORT

Amongst all major Indian ports, Cochin is the closest to the International East West Shipping routes. This geo-strategic location of Cochin gives it a distinct advantage.

It is all-weather natural Port, it is located strategically close to the busiest international sea routes from the Gulf to Singapore and Europe to the Far East circuits.

COCHIN PORT

The logistically sensitive port is emerging as the most preferred investment destination for maritime commerce.

The chairman of Cochin port is N Ramachandran.

ENNORE PORT

Ennore Port is the first port in India which is a public company. It is designed as Asia's energy port, has only 86 employees.

Ennore Port was originally conceived as a satellite port to the Chennai Port, primarily to handle thermal coal to meet the requirement of Tamil Nadu Electricity Board.

ENNORE PORT

It was commissioned in 2001 and full-fledged operations were started since December 2002. It has handled 1,07,03,000 tonnes of cargo from April 2009 to March 2010.

The port has effectively taken over all the ore movement from the Chennai port. By 2016, the port is expected to have the capacity to handle over 80 million tonnes of cargo and its coal-handling capacity is expected to be about 43 million tonnes.

ENNORE PORT

The port has adequate road and rail links. The port has obtained an in-principle approval from Southern Railway for providing rail connectivity to coal and iron ore stackyards.

S Velumani is the chairman-cum-managing director of the port.

JAWAHARLAL NEHRU PORT

Jawaharlal Nehru Port The sea port is named after the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru.

Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust is the busiest port in India


The port is run by the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, an organization entrusted with the operations of the large shipping port in Navi Mumbai, India and controlled by the Central Government of India. The port lies on the mainland, opposite the city of Mumbai across the Thane Creek. The port was created to augment the shipping capacity in Mumbai and provide an alternative to merchants wanting to save octroi charges imposed by the Brihanmum bai Municipal Corporation. JNPT also has daily ferry service to Gateway of India. The Central Industrial Security


Force is the designated security agency for the port.

It is well connected to major highways and rail networks in India. The closest suburban railheads are CBD Belapur and Panvel. The port handles 65% of India's container traffic.

VISAKHAPATNAM PORT

Plumes of coal dust have become a part of everyday life in Visakhapatnam, the port city that handles a quarter of India's coking coal imports by major ports. Coal is manually unloaded from vessels and shovelled onto trucks that take it to an open stack yard from where winds carry coal dust to the city.

VISAKHAPATNAM PORT

But from October, a two-kilometre-long conveyor belt will transfer coal directly from vessels to rail wagons that will take the mineral to steel mills in Andhra Pradesh and other states. The Rs 600-crore mechanised coal handling facility is being built by Sterile Industries, a Vedanta group company, under a public-private partnership (PPP) agreement signed with the Visakhapatnam Port Trust in October 2010.

VISAKHAPATNAM PORT

It will not only reduce coal-dust pollution in the city but also cut the turnaround time for vessels at the port. But the project is an exception in a sector where most ventures are

running behind schedule.

The government embarked on the PPP route for modernisation and expansion projects at major ports in the 1990s. India has 12 major ports, including in Paradip, Visakhapatnam, Chennai and Mumbai. These handled about three-fifths of India's cargo traffic in 2011/12.

VISAKHAPATNAM PORT

But they are choked to capacity and their market share has fallen from 74 per cent in 2003/04 to 61 per cent in 2011/12. The government aims to triple India's total port capacity to 3.1 billion tonnes by 2020. This requires investment of roughly Rs 3 trillion (one trillion equals one lakh crore), mostly by the private sector.

KANDALA PORT

MORMUGAO PORT

Mormugao Port is one of the oldest ports on the west coast of India.

It is the premier iron ore exporting port of India with an annual throughput of around 26.74 million tonnes of iron ore traffic. It was commissioned in 1888.

With the emergence of mining as a major industry in Goa, a master plan was evolved by the Portuguese for the

MORMUGAO PORT development of Mormugao

Port as an iron ore terminal. In accordance with this,

in 1959 M/s Chowgule & Co. Pvt. Ltd., was permitted to set up Asia's very first Mechanical Ore Handling Plant. The Liberation of Goa on December 19, 1961 marked the end of an epoch in Goan history.

Mormugao Port, went through a fair amount of change as the emphasis shifted to development of infrastructure. A couple of years after liberation, the port was delinked from the Railway management.

The exploitation of iron ore mines in Goa on a commercial scale since 1947, brought about revolutionary changes in the pattern of Mormugao Port traffic.

Mormugao was declared a major port in 1964.

Today, the iron exported through Mormugao constitutes 39 per cent of the total iron ore exports from India.
