Mumbai's JN port boxes up 1.17pc, showing best performance in 5 years

2012 04 17


MUMBAI's Jawaharlal Nehru (JN) Port, made up of three units, one run by the state-owned port, another by DP World and the third by an APM Terminals and the Container Corp of India, ended a collective fiscal year with the best performance in five years.

Collectively, the facility is India's biggest container port and in the last fiscal year handled 1.17 per cent more containers to 4.32 million TEU year on year, reported India's Live Mint-Wall Street Journal.

The state-run unit handled 1.03 million TEU, up 17.3 per cent while at DP World's Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal, volume fell 8.8 per cent to 1.4 million TEU. At the APM T-Concor operation Gateway Terminals India run by the APMT-Concor, volume upticked 1.5 per cent to 1.89 million TEU year on year.

To boost productivity, the port management replaced three older cranes in June-July 2011 with new ones out of the eight in operation. This facility will replace four more of its older cranes that have been in operation for 20 years.

"We have placed orders for four more new cranes," said JN port operations chief SN Maharana. "These four new cranes will be installed in November-December this year and will further boost the capacity of our terminal."
