INDIA's Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) has set a new container record, handling 4.8 million TEU in the financial year ending March 31, an increase of 7.4 per cent year on year.
JNPT has five container terminals and Gateway Terminal India was the market leader, with a throughput of 2.03 million TEU. It was followed by the port authority-owned JNPCT with 1.48 million TEU, NSIGT and NSICT which together handled 1.3 million TEU, and the newly opened BMCTPL facility which handled 23,212 TEU, reported Dubai's Maritime Standard.
JNPT attributes the increase in throughput partly to the implementation of a number of trade friendly initiatives, including the Direct Port Delivery (DPD) system, which has helped port users save time and money.
JNPT said: "The port is planning to expand the DPD system still further and recently awarded contracts to four logistics companies to operative five additional DPD routes. These will run from JNPT to Gujarat; to Goa and Bengaluru; to Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Indore and Hyderabad; to Ahmednagar; and to local regions in and around Mumbai."
JNPT has a number of infrastructure upgrade projects underway or in the pipeline. These include deepening and widening the channels at Mumbai harbour and JN Port, the modernisation of cargo handling equipment, the development of more dry ports and the creation of satellite coastal ports.
The Gateway Terminal India terminal in JNPT is operated by Maerk's APM Terminals Mumbai. The facility's 2.3 million TEU throughput marked the terminal's highest volume since it began operations in 2006. The terminal handled 633 vessels over the course of the year and accounted for 42 per cent of the port's total container volume.
Commenting on the achievement, APM Terminals Mumbai managing director Ravi Gaitonde said: "This success is a result of the cooperation extended by the entire trade community including the cargo owners, container freight station operators, transporters, rail operators and the port and customs authorities."
