5. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The first half of the our training involves Port visits the study
of Berthing, Traffic Management, Vessel Priority, Vessel
Turnaround Cycle , Warehouse Planning , Documentation,
other discussions with the port officials regarding success and
failure part of Kandla Port Trust.
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 trust’s 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.

6. INTRODUCTION
3.1 OVERVIEW
Kandla Port plays a major role in the country's international
trade. Having notched up a string of success, it has emerged as
a forerunner, and has carved a niche for itself, by its steady
growth and economy of operations. "Kandla port will emerge
as a vibrant, world class, multi-cargo port offering services at
multiple locations and having a dominant share of regional
cargo by virtue of its ability to effectively leverage its locations
and land resources for facilitating growth of economic
activities and investments, with the objective of developing
mutually beneficial and sustainable linkages with port based
industries and users, thereby making Kandla the driver of
economic growth in the region"
Kandla Port continues to be India’s 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 India’s 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.
Maximum output, excellent infrastructure, well connectivity,
all-round services and cost effectiveness are the major strength
of Kandla Port. It is the gateway to the northwest India and due
to its unique locational advantage it accesses a vast hinterland
of 1 million Sq. Kms, stretching up to jammu and Kashmir by
broad gauge railway system, national highway no.8A and air
connectivity.

7. 3.2 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.
On January 20, 1952, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, then 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.
Since, then the Major Port of Kandla has come a long way in
becoming the Port of new millemmium. The development of
Port took place in two distinct complex wise
(1) Oil jetty Area
(2) Cargo Berth Area

8. 3.3 MAJOR PORTS IN INDIA
The ports are gateways for India’s international trade. India is
endowed an extensive coastline of about 7600 kms dotted with
12 major ports and 184 minor and intermediate ports.
Among this 12 major ports, 6 are located on the west coast
Kandla, Mumbai, JNPT, Murmugoa, Cochin, Vishakhapatnam,
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.
Major port means any port for which the central government
may by notification in central gazette declare under Indian
Ports Act 1908, or may under any law for the time being in
force have declared to be Major Port. Minor port means any
port, which the state government may by notification in the
state gazette, declares as a port.
Major ports are autonomous bodies, administrated by board of
trusties constituted for each port under the major port trust act
1963. The overall responsibility for efficient management and
operation of major ports vests in the central government. Other
ports are under the control of the respective state government.

14. 5. PORT INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES FOR
DRY CARGO
The port infrastructure basically enables port management to
deliver wide range of services and acts as effective between
sea surface modes of transport. However, most often a direct
function of the economies of scales achieved in terms of
various port infrastructure facilities and how they are
operated, which together determine the operation capabilities
of the port.
The level of infrastructure build-up and the type of services
that different port provides vary widely depending on the
volumes and types of cargo traffic handled. Furthur from a
port investment point of view, the distinction between port
infrastructure and port equipment are important in terms of
expected rate of returns.
Kandla port being a multipurpose cargo handling port handles
liquid as well as dry cargo over the years.
We can divides different types of commodities in board
categories as:-
 Dry Bulk Cargo

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

36. 7.4 SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
 The location of the port is
main strength for it. It is
nearest to the Middle East
and Europe.
 The road connectivity and rail
connectivity are good.
 It covers most of the north
India as hinterland – Punjab,
Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan
and Gujarat these hinterland
has very good export oriented
manufacturing base.
WEAKNESS
 Lake of modern machineries
 Low draught level
 Lack of IT Technology
 Storage area management
 Procedural delays
OPPORTUNITY
 Development of new
jetties/berth.
 Growth potential
 Revenue generation modern
facilities
THREAT
 Increasing competition from
Gujarat maritime board ports
(Non Major ports)
 The upcoming private ports

37. 8 FINDING & SUGGESTION
8.1 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 building of new berth is done by other private companies on
tender basis.
 The documentation process at OTB should stopped.
 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.

38. 8.2 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.
 Kandla port should appoint a capable new chairman who can have
control over all the wrong activities so that proper management
takes place.
 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 cargo handling operations should be fast so that the
demurrage charges would decrease.
 Corruption and ill legal activities should be fast so that the
demurrages charges would decrease.
 SOR (scale of rates) should be kept low.
 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.
 The HRD of kandla port should handle the strikes and other
problems efficiently.
 Proper efforts should be made to improve the night navigation
system
 The documentation process at OTB should be stopped instead
should take place near to port only.
 Kandla port should be develop Tuna port as the draught level is
high their and container terminal should be built there.

39. 9 CONCLUSION
From 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.
