EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Project deals with the cargo handling
operations at kandla port. The study includes EXIM details of cargo
at the port. This project enables to know about the capacities,
capabilities & all the facilities provided by kandla port in
handling traffic at the port. This includes the collection of data
about traffic handled during the years wise, commodity wise, flag
wise & also chart of Export-Import for cristal view. Our study
on their present infrastructure facility was that of cargo berths,
liquid jetties, SBM at Vadinar & storage facilities KPT is
facing a lot of competition from all major port and specially from
the minor port situated on the same cost. This might affect Kandla
port trusts growth in the near future, keeping this in mind KPT
should invest on its infrastructure facilities. After over study at
KPT we suggest them to improve a few drawbacks that could really
affect them in the near future specially because of the prevailing
stiff competition.
INTRODUCTION Kandla Port continues to be Indias no.1 Port with
100.05 MMT (92.5MMT in 2014-15) traffic handling. It has been at
top for many consecutive years. Kandla Port contributes 16.5% to
Indias total Major Ports handlings. Port has 12 dry cargo berths
with total length of 2.57KM in straight line and 6 Oil jetties for
handling of POL and Chemical. The single buoy mooring in Vadinar
can handle Very Large Crude oil Vessels (VLCC) with a pumping
capacity of 5000 tonnes per hour.
HISTORY The history of Kandla Port owes is origin to the year
1930, when the ruler of the then princely state of Kutch, Maharao
Khengarji - III wanted to deep draught History legacy- The Vision
by Maharao Khengarji, Kutch Port in his kingdom. The Evolution As
substantial for Karachi Port Due to the loss of Karachi port after
independence the burden of northern trade was shifted to the Port
of Mumbai under the inspirational and able guidance of the great
visionary & Iron man of India, Shri Sardar Patel, the
government of India on 17th February 1948, constituted an expert
committee known as The West Coast Major Port Development Committee
to explore the possibilities of establishing sea Port to carter to
the vast hinterland. he Evolution As substantial for Karachi

Prime Minister of India, laid the foundation stone for mew Port on
the western coast of India. It was declared a Major Port on April
8, 1955 by late Shri Lal Bahadur Sashtri, then Ministry of
Transportation and the Port Trust was formed in 1964.
MAJOR PORTS IN INDIA The ports are gateways for Indias
international trade. India is endowed an extensive coastline of
about 7600 kms dotted with 12 major ports and 184 minor and

Calcutta and Ennore Four of the major ports i.e. Calcutta, Mumbai,
Chennai, Mormugoa are more than 100 years old. The 12th major port,
the port of Ennore, the first corporate port in India has commenced
operations in the year ended 2000.

handling acquiring new cargo handling equipment, reducing
documentation procedures & by implementing optimized berthing
policy regarding heavily Imported commodities so that time can be
utilized.

SWOT ANALYSISS WO T
FINDINGS
Since last 10 years Kandla port is No.1 port in cargo handling
operations. The price charged (wharfage cost, cargo handling cost,
storage cost,etc.) by Kandla port is lowest compare to all other
ports. Key customer is PANAMA. Due to demurrage charges shipping
companies are not satisfied. Construction of new berth is at very
low pace. The draught level is low. The time taken for clearance
and other procedures is high. The shipping companies are shifting
their cargo vessels to other port as the time taken for loading and
unloading is very more compare to other ports. The maintenance cost
for berth is very high. The highest profit generation of Kandla
port is through Vadinar port because maintenance cost is very low
at Vadinar port.
SUGGESTIONS
To retain the no.1 spot in traffic handling and to improve their
brand image following are the suggestions :- Kandla port should
upgrade the port with modern technologies to handle cargo at
quicker pace. Focus should be delivered on the handling of the
liquid cargo by developing more no. of liquid cargo berth instead
of multipurpose cargo berth since saturation is observed in
multipurpose cargo handling business. The jetties should be built
with high draught level. The environment at port should be trader
friendly. Kandla port should build a proper container terminal
because now a day most of cargo export import takes place in
container. Kandla port should introduce unloading of cargo directly
to conveyor belts to godowns. Should invest more on Vadinar port
because ROI from Vadinar port in high. Kandla port should be
develop Tuna port as the draught level is high their and container
terminal should be built there.
CONCLUSIONFrom this report we can conclude that Kandla port is
lacking behind in modern mechanization, skilled employees,
documentation and procedural work, but then also low scale of rates
and other services Kandla port is able to retain their No.1 spot in
handling cargo traffic since 10 years. To retain this No.1 spot
Kandla port is focusing on new projects and investing in Vadinar
and Tuna port.
