INTRODUCTION


4/14

As part of our course curriculum, the first year PGDM-IB students of

Birla Institute of Management Technology, Greater Noida, were

required to undertake port visits during their third trimester so this

year too an educational field Trip to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust

(JNPT), Mumbai was organized for the students where the students

were given an opportunity to have a first-hand experience of port

and customs operations, by watching them live.

The core aim of this field trip was to bridge the gap between the class

room learning and the application of the same in various aspect of a

real business.

The key objectives were to:

- improve students understanding towards organisations- highlight the relevance of practical experience

- improve awareness of nuances of an organization

This year the students got an opportunity to visit two national and two

international ports in the month of February 2012.

Students undertaking the national tour visited the JNPT Mumbai and

Murmugoa Harbour Goa while the international batch paid visit to

Malaysia (West Port), Thailand (Laem Chabang Port) and the Recronfactory in Malaysia.

The visits were made fruitful due by industry guides who were

allotted to us through their valuable knowledge sharing of the various

processes in the ports.

This report contains the details of the visits conducted. Broadly thereport includes the current status of international business,

government policies, major issues relating to the ports, brief of the

discussion held during visit, and key learnings and take-aways

National Visit to JNPT Mumbai


5/14

On 21st

February, students accompanied by Prof Rajeev Sharma, started around

8:10 in the morning for JNPT. It took around four hours to reach. After getting

the required clearance from the administrative department a manager from

JNPT was kind enough to show us around.Once the formalities at the entry of the port were completed, the manager took

us for a guided tour to the port. Students were explained and shown the

working, loading and unloading of the containers at the port here are some ofexcerpts from his discourse.

Jawaharlal Nehru Port is the 6th largest port in the world and the largestcontainer port in India. Located in Maharashtra, the port on the Arabian Sea is

accessed via Thane Creek. Ever since its inception on May 26, 1989, JNP has

charted India's international trade to a glorious course of success and

achievements, breaking all records and creating new benchmarks, JNP is the

biggest container handling Port in India, handling around 60% of the country's

containerized cargo, crossing throughput. In its coveted role as the Hub Port onthe Western Coast of India, JNP is ranked 24th among the top 100 Container

Ports in the World.

The port is run by the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, an organisation entrusted

with the operations of the large shipping port in Navi Mumbai , India andcontrolled by the Central Government of India . 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 Brihanmumbai

Municipal Corporation . JNPT also has daily ferry service to Gateway of India.


6/14

The Central Industrial Security Force is the designated security agency for the

port.

Together with various shipping services, the port provides round the clock

pilotage to all ocean going vessels calling the port. The port provides round the

clock pilotage to all ocean going vessels calling the port. Since February 1998,JNPT has launched night sailing of long Panamax Container Vessels upto 270

M LOA and 12 M draft on a regular basis which are largest vessels to transact

the Mumbai Harbour at night.

Regular co-ordination of vessel movement is being carried out through

collection, verification, organisation and dissemination of information through

a Vessel Traffic Management System.

The pollution control cell carries out regular inspection and control checks on

all vessels entering the port.

Fuelled by a passion to excel, JNP has anchored its presence with pride, to offer

a wonderful Port User experience. At the moment JNPT serves 25 ICDs (inlandcontainer depots), with plans for another 9 over the next few years. The port

sees textiles, foodstuffs and medicines exported worldwide while at the same

time chemicals, oils, petrol, plastics and heavy machinery are imported to aid

the phenomenal growth in the Indian manufacturing economy.

JNPT is made up of 3 terminals: Gateway Terminals India is a container port

with the capacity to process 1.3m TEUs a year, there is also a liquid cargo jetty

capable of handling 5.5 million tonnes annually (including industrial and edible

cargo such as molasses and vegetable oil), and finally the Nhava Sheva

International Container Terminal, Indias first private port.

We were fortunate enough to have an extensive tour of the facilities at Nhava

Sheva, facilities that rival those anywhere else in the world. With the capacity

for 100 moves per hour I was impressed by the efficiency of the operation, I

was even more impressed when the officer who was showing us around,mentioned that they are on target to move 1,400,000 TEUs by the end of the

year a TEU is a twenty-foot equivalent unit a container that is about 20ft by

about 8ft. At the moment the TEU is the standard size of container, there are a

smaller number of 10ft containers in use, and an increasing number of 40ft

containers, these are sometimes referred to as 2 TEUs or logically FEUs. To put

it another way, if you were stood in the centre of this sea of containers, you

wouldnt be able to see the edge. By 2015 JNPT as a whole is expecting to be

handing 8m TEUs a yearThats 43 sq miles of containers. If you were driving


7/14

at 30mph it would take you over 5 and a half hours just to drive round the

perimeter.

Major exports from Nhava Sheva are textiles, sporting goods, carpets, textile

machinery, boneless meat, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The main importsare chemicals, machinery, plastics, electrical machinery, vegetable oils and

aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. The port handles cargo traffic mostly

originating from or destined for Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh,

Gujarat,Karnataka, as well as most of North India.

Hundreds of crores of Rupees are being spent on expanding the container berth,

improving the rail network to the ICDs and digging out the harbour channel sothat it is deeper and wider to accommodate the ever expanding size of the ships

that carry the containers all over the world. They are also planning a 4th

terminal that will be bigger than the rest of JNPT put together.

Facilities

The JNPT Container Terminal is operated by JNPT. It has a quay length of 680

metres (2,230 ft) with 3 berths.

The Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal (NSICT) is leased to a

consortium led by P & O, now a part ofDP World. Commissioned in July 2000,

it has a 600 metres (2,000 ft) quay length with 2 berths. It can handle up to 15.6million tons of cargo. NSICT was Indias first privately managed container

terminal.

The Gateway Terminal (GTI) has been leased to a consortium ofAPM

Terminals and the Container Corporation of India. It started operations in 2006.

The BPCL Terminal is leased to a joint-venture between Bharat

Petroleum and Indian Oil. It mostly handles crude imports and refinedpetroleum products exports at its 2 berths. The port is well connected by rail androad to neighbouring Mumbai and to the rest of India.

We were really lucky to be able to visit that port. The greenest port in the

country is ranked among the top 30 ports in the world. It handles approximately

55-60% of the total containerized cargo in India. We learnt all about its

working, from its shipping services to its marine services, about the containerterminal, etc. How many vessels are handled, what kind of cargo is handled,

how the loading and unloading takes place, and how the port plans to execute its

future plans are some of the things we got to know from our guide there. The

port was huge and going across the length and breadth of the port, seeing the

warehouses and the other activities carried out by the port was indeed anexperience in itself. Supported by top of the order, world class infrastructure

with impeccable technological standards, facilities at JNP comprise a full-

fledged Customs House, above 23 Container Freight Stations and a large

number of ICD's across the country. Excellent hinterland connectivity both by

rail and road as well as proximity to Airports, Hotels etc., give the Port an extra

edge to address the shippers needs, efficiently and promptly.

With its strong commitment to provide seamless service to its customers as

India's prime facilitator of international trade, JNP strives to be the undisputed

leader in the South Asian region in years to come.

After the port visit, before we could head to our next destination, we still had

some time left to explore the city of Mumbai. The hustle-bustle of the city onone hand and the calmness of the sea on the other; no doubt the tinsel town had

a lot to offer. However, we had paucity of time. We spent the evening at the

marine drive and after being awestruck by the beauty of the Queens necklace,

we headed to the point where our Volvo bus was scheduled to arrive to leave for

Goa.
