INTRODUCTION
Kolkata port is the gateway to Eastern India for the rest of the world. This is the first Major port
in India, whose appearance in the maritime map dates back to 1870 and this is the 141 st year of
its existence. Kolkata port is the only riverine major port in India. Its 232 kms long navigational
channel is one of the longest channels in the world. The port has two dock system viz. Haldia
Dock Complex (HDC) and Kolkata Dock System (KDS).
Haldia Dock Complex, a modern dock complex of Kolkata Port Trust, was set up in 1977 for
handling larger vessels, carrying bulk cargo with optimum economy, keeping Kolkata Dock
System primarily for handling break bulk cargo, container etc. The two dock system of Kolkata
Port viz. KDS and HDC are complementary to each other.
Kolkata Port has a vast hinterland, comprising the entire Eastern India including West Bengal,
Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Assam, North Eastern State and the two
landlocked neighboring countries viz. Nepal and Bhutan. The industrial development, commerce
and trade of this vast hinterland are inseparably linked to the life and development of Kolkata
port and vice-versa.
CONNECTIVITY:
Kolkata Port is well-connected with national and state highway, railways and national
waterways. KDS is connected with NH-6, NH-2 and NH-34 through city roads.NH-41 connects
Haldia with NH-6 and rest of the country. KDS is connected to Eastern Railway through Sealdah
and Budge Budge sections.HDC is connected to the South Eastern Railway via Panskura.
Kolkata Port is connected to National Waterway No.1(Ganga), National Waterway
No.2(Brahmaputra) and Waterway through Sundarban.

Performance Highlight for 2011-2012
Kolkata Port handled 43.248 million tones of traffic in 2011-2012. KDS handled a traffic
of 12.233 million tones in 2011-2012 and HDC, 31.015 million tones of traffic was
handled in 2010-2011.
During the last eight year period, from 2000-01 to 2008-09,Kolkata Port increased its
cargo volume by 24.22 million tones (80.73%). However, traffic decreased since 2009-
10 owing to decreased in POL Crude, consequent on commissioning of Paradip-Haldia
Crude pipeline and also due to decline in Iron Ore, Coking Coal, etc. due to draft
restriction. At Kolkata Port, Container traffic increased to 5,52,241 TEUs in 2011-12 from 5,26,474
TEUs in 2010-11 i.e. a growth of 5%. Container traffic at Kolkata Port crossed the 5.5
lakh TEU mark during 2011-12. At KDS, 4,12,425 TEUs were handled during 2011-12
as against 3,77,135 TEUs in 2010-11, registering a growth of 9.36%, which was the
highest among Indian Major Ports.
KoPT ranked third amongst Indian Major Ports in terms of Container handling in 2011-
2012.
Number of vessels handled at Kolkata Port during the last nine years was the highest
amongst all India Major Port. KoPT handled around 16-17% of the total number of
vessels, which worked at Indian Major Ports. During the year 2011-2012, 3183 vessels
called at KoPT.
During 2011-2012, the port excelled in all efficiency parameters as compared to previous
year, such as, reduction in Turn-Round Time(TRT) of ships, reduction of Pre-Berthing
Detention(PBD) of ships and above all, improvement in average Ship Berth-day Output
etc.
During 2011-2012 high growth were registered at KoPT as compared to 2010-11 in
respect of LPG, Vegetable Oil, Manganese Ore, Rock Phosphate, Thermal Coal,
Petroleum Coke, Other Coke, Machinery, Coal Tar Pitch, Maize, Pulses, Container,
other General Cargo, IWT Traffic, etc.

ON GOING MODERNISATION PLANS
A major challenge for a riverine major port like Kolkata has been its inadequate draft preventing
vessels of higher dimension/parcel size of visit the port. Simultianeously, being a riverine port
and strategically connected to national waterway no.1 and waterway no.2 Kolkata port has huge
potential in respect of movement of cargo through inland water transport(IWT),mode. The port
of Kolkata has made investment decision both for KDS and HDC, keeping in mind the river
morphology and traffic that can best be handled in these two location harnessing the respective
potential of two dock systems. A well diversified investment programme, aimed at improvement
of infrastructure/capacity augmentation, has been embarked in the 11 th/12 th five year plan at
Kolkata port, encompassing, Interalia, construction /mechanization of birth with improvement of
back-end facility; integrated development of infrastructure facilities including road/rail
connectivity ,improved storage /yard logistic, of birth; induction of state of- the- art equipment
,river regulatory measures for improvement of draft at Hooghly estuary. Comprehensive
improvement of Information Technology (IT).etc
Major Projects of Underway - Prime-mover of Growth
Development of Haldia Dock II.
Development of Haldia Dock-ii on PPP basis in the west bank at Salukhhali/Rupnarayanchak is
envisaged where the river draft in 9 meters without dredging and the land connectivity is
conducive to cargo handling operation. Necessary land for this project, has already been taken
over from the state government with a grant of long term lease. The indicative cost of the project
is around Rs.2000 crore and 4 jetties are being planned for construction of handling dry bulk
cargo like coal, iron ore, etc. providing 20 mt per annum capacity. Two separate RFQ for Haldia
Dock-ii(NORTH) AND Haldia Dock-ii(south),have been issued in may 2011 and applications
received are now being evaluated.

Consruction of riveriene outer terminal at Haldia Dock, integrating it with
Transloading facilities at Sandheads and its vicinity for midstream handling
of Dry Bulk Cargo
KoPT has embarked on creation of facilities within the limits of the port in an integrated
manner with construction of a riverine terminal (OT-1) outside the lock gate at Haldia Dock. The
Model policy for transloading operation within KoPT limits has been approved by the Ministry
and the port limits of KoPT have recently been extended which would ensure the transloading
operation to continue seamlessly throughout the year. RFQ for this project was invited in
February 2011 and PPPAC Memo/draft Concession Agreement, etc has been forwarded to the
Ministry. After receipt of requisite clearances from the Ministry regarding PPPAC memo, etc.,
the RPF document would be issued.
Construction of Jetties at the proposed Diamond Harbour Container
Terminal
Development of a container terminal at Diamond Harbour in the east bank of river Hooghly
is around 50 km south KoPT by road, with river draft of 9 meters without dredging. The first
phase of the project will comprise 900 mtrs. quay length with a designed capacity of 1.2 million
TEUs. The requirement of land in the first phase will be met from Defence, DGLL and State
Government, apart from additional land available through reclamation. KoPT engaged Eastern
Railway for preparat ion of a survey report to provide the vital railway linkage between KoPTs
Jetty site with nearest rail head at Diamond Harbour, which has since been submitted. The
project is to be connected to the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor from Dankuni. RFQ for this
project has been issued in July 2011 and the due date of receipt of applications is 16 th February
2012.

Development of Port Facility at Sagar Island
Sager Island-about 150m south of Kolkata is being envisaged for development of full-fledged
port facilities with the initial potential to handle about 60 million tonnes of dry bulk/break-bulk
cargo and containers. Around 10-12 jetties are initially envisaged. KoPT has already engaged
M/s RITES Ltd. along with WAPCOS and CWPRS for conducting an integrated feasibility study
for development of port facilities at Sagar Island, Including rail-road connectivity. Rail
connectivity is to be a core component for this project since most of the projected cargo viz
coking coal, thermal coal, ore, coke, etc. are likely to be evacuated/aggregated by rail. Interim
Report has already been submitted and Draft feasibility report is expected shortly.
Other Major Initiative and Achievement at Kolkata Port
LOI was placed by KoPT on a private for equipping/providing integrated cargo handling
service at the berth, 2 and 8 at HDC, aimed at catering to gearless vessels, leading to
improved cargo handling capacity. The equipment has been mobilized at the site and the
mechanized berths have since been commissioned.
A Stand Alone Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS) alongwith Automatic
Identification System (AIS) was installed in March 2005. Upgradation/replacement of
three Rader Stations with replacement/renovation of infrastructure facilities, including
installation/ commissioning of AIS at Frasergunj and Haldia, have also been completed
recently.
Information Technology (IT) and IT enabled Service (ITeS)With customer as its focus, on-going development on IT and ITeS are full swing, aimed at
increased customer satisfaction alongwith improved efficiency in port management by
introducing web-based application and interchange, thus ensuring wide coverage, minimized cost
on transactions and port operations with gradual evolution towards paperless offices. In this

respect, implementation of POMS(Port Operations Management), PCS(Port community System-
an implementation of Electronic Data Interchange(EDI) among the port community) and
provision for catering to online queries from port users on the ports website deserve special
mention. This is further strengthened by a comprehensive enterprise-wide application software,
EIS (executive information system) and FMS (Facility management system), already in place
with enterprise resource planning (ERP) being envisaged as one of the key business solution.
...PROMIESS TO KEEP
The future shines bright for Kolkata port trust with several new project on the anvil in the
hinterland, coupled with I ndias policy of co -operation with ASEAN countries- the LOOKEAST policy. The proposed trans Asian railways corridor, opening of India-China roads and
proximity to Lasha will all contribute to making Kolkata the hub port for Asia. With these
myriad opportunities and multi-faceted development programmes on the anvil, setting up of 2 nd
Dock at Haldia (Salukkhali), transloading operation at Sandheads full-fledged cargo handling
facility at Sagar and Diamond Harbour, Kolkata port trust is poised to emerge as a premier port
of the country.

Container terminals are designated for the handling, storage, and possibly loading or unloading
of cargo into or out of containers, and where containers can be picked up, dropped off,
maintained, stored, or loaded or unloaded from one mode of transport to another (that is, vessel,
truck, barge, or rail).
World container terminals are classified into five categories by their ownerships: public
terminals, carrier-leased dedicated terminals, terminal-operator built and operation terminals,
carrier built and operation terminals, and joint venture of carriers and terminal operators. The
operation characteristics of the five patterns are specified as bellow.
Public terminals
All the shipping lines share with each other the facilities of public terminals in loading and
discharging, and are charged at tariff rates, generally with a first come, firstserve principle and
without any priority in berth usage except paying priority tolls. Container handling and other
charges are calculated at common tariff National Taiwan Ocean University Eric Ting
Department of Transportation and Navigation Science rates, or paid at quantity discount rates in
case container volume is over the fixed quantity agreed upon in contracts. Singapore (PSA
before 1997), Busan, Keelung are categorized into this operation pattern.
Carrier-leased dedicated terminals
Carriers sign long-term lease contracts with the port authorities for their own exclusive use.
Carriers pay rents and facility charges and the port authorities entitle contract carriers to right
and priority in berth usage. Carrier could be entitled to purchase or install container handling
facilities at his own account to compensate for rents and facility charges. Owing to the joint
services among shipping lines, single user long-term contracts are transferred to multi-user
contracts so that several shipping lines share terminal usage. Kaohsiung, Keelung (some parts of
the port), Kobe, Yokohama, Tokyo are categorized into this operation pattern.

25/61
25
Terminal-operator built and operation terminals
By making a deposit and allocating to the port authorities in proportion to the total handling
charges as agreed in the contract, a terminal operator leases container terminals or invests
directly in the construction, operation of container terminals and handling facilities. Hong Kong
(HIT, MTL, CHT), Shanghai (SCT), Tianjin (CSXOT), Singapore (PSA after 1997) are
categorized into this operation pattern.
Carrier built and operation terminals
By making a deposit and allocating to the port authorities in proportion to the total handling
charges as agreed in the contract, a carrier or several carriers lease container terminals or invest
directly in the construction, operation of container terminals and handling facilities. Except the
usage of their fleet, the carriers are entitled to provide other shipping lines with berthing and
container handling services. Malaysia (PTP), Taipei Port (invested by Yang Ming Line,
Evergreen, Wan-Hai), Qingdao (Zhunguang, Kuaikuei, Tiasing) are categorized into this
operation pattern.
Joint venture of carriers and terminal operators
By making a deposit and allocating to the port authorities in proportion to the total handling
charges as agreed in the contract, a joint venture of shipping lines and terminal operators
establishes a company, or makes a joint investment in leasing container terminals or invest
directly in the construction, operation of container National Taiwan Ocean University Eric Ting
Department of Transportation and Navigation Science terminals and handling facilities.
Shanghai (Yangshan terminals, Zhunghai terminals), Shenzhen, Shekou.

Container Handling
To keep pace with global technological advancement in the field of transportation, Kolkata Port
was the first in the country to develop modern container handling facilities. A container terminal,
with quay crane and rail mounted gantry crane (RMGC), tractor/trailer combination and a
Container Freight Station, was commissioned at HDC in 1977.
Containers are handled at Haldia using ship's gear operated by port workers or gearless vessels
using shore side cranes. Movement between the quay and the container packing yard is carried
out Port-owned tractor/trailers and/or by private operators appointed by the shipping companies
or their agents. Handling at parking yard is done by port tansfer crane or private equipment.
HDC presently handle around 30% of total container throughput of Kolkata Port and rest is
handled at Kolkata Dock System.
The major share (about 98%) of container traffic flowing through Kolkata Port is carried by
feeder ships having connection with mother ships at connecting relay ports like Singapore,
Colombo and Port Kelang and the rest are covered by Combi-ships. The container traffic in
Kolkata Dock System is presently handled by mobile harbour cranes as well as by Ships
Cranes. Containers are moved to and from the stacking yard and stacked/unstacked at the
container yard by rubber-tyred gantry cranes, prime-movers, reach stackers, etc .
Equipment used for handling of container in container terminal
Chassis A frame with wheels and container locking devices to secure the container for movement.
PalletA flat tray, generally made of wood, but occasionally steel or other materials, on which goods
can be stacked. There are two principal sizes: the ISO pallet, which measures 1 x 1.2 meters, and
the euro pallet at 0.8 x 1.2 meters.

Gantry craneA crane fixed on a frame or structure spanning an intervening space typically designed to
traverse fixed structures such as cargo (container) storage areas or quays and which is used to
hoist containers or other cargo in and out of vessels and place or lift from a vessel, barge, trucks,
chassis, or train.
Straddle carrierType of equipment that picks up and transports containers between its legs for movement within
a container terminal.
Rubber-tired gantry (RTG)A RTG crane is a mobile gantry crane used for stacking intermodal containers within the
stacking areas of a container terminal. RTGs are used at container terminals and container
storage yards to straddle multiple lanes of rail/road and container storage, or when maximum
storage density in the container stack is desired. A normal container crane runs on steel rails,
instead of rubber-tires. The side-view appearance of a RTG and a straddle carrier are fairly
similar, but the top of a RTG also features a movable crane.

Forklift TruckA forklift truck (also called a lift truck , a fork truck , or a forklift ) is a powered
industrial truck used to lift and transport materials. The modern forklift was developed in the1960s by various companies including the transmission manufacturing company Clark and the
hoist company Yale & Towne Manufacturing. The forklift has since become an indispensable
piece of equipment in manufacturing and warehousing operations.

Reach Stacker
A reach stacker is a vehicle used for handling intermodal cargo containers in small terminals or
a medium-sized ports. Reach stackers are able to transport a container short distances very
quickly and pile them in various rows depending on its access. Reach stackers have gainedground in container handling in most markets because of their flexibility and higher stacking and
storage capacity when compared to forklift trucks. Using reach stackers, container blocks can be
kept 4-deep due to second row access.

Operation on Export/Import in Container Terminal
For Export
Vessel agent apply a application to Traffic Manager for opening of export. Traffic Manager will nominate the berth. After nomination of berth application will move on DDMS (Deputy Dock MastersShipping) for opening of VCN No. of Vessel.
After opening of VCN vessel agent apply for export gate opening to Dock Manager, forLCL & FCL boxes and advise to container Supdt. for export planning for LCL boxes.
LCL operation are done at 2 NSD Shed, after receiving cargo, Staffing that cargo intoLCL boxes takes place.
After staffing these LCL boxes are moved to Container parking yard. And FCL boxes aredirectly received at Container parking yard.
For Import
Vessel agent file an IGM (Import General Manifest) to Customs.
After verifying the IGM Customs allot a import rotation number. After allotting import rotation number Customs send the IGM to Supdt. with importrotation no. through EDI(Electronic Data Interchange)
Then planning meeting take place with all Supdt., Traffic Manager & Vessel agent.Where Traffic Manager allocate the berth & equipments needed for unloading of
Container.
As per the vessel plan given by Captain of vessel unloading & Shipment of Containertake place.
Then Container are transferred to Container Parking Yard.

Literature Review
This is the first project on topic thermal future potential of container terminal at KoPT in
comparison with other eastern coastal port successfully completed by me. I have searched on
internet but I did not find any project on this topic .I have also searched at KoPT library but there
also no any project on this topic.
This report will help KoPT to come to know them that where they are lagging in infrastructure in
comparison to other Eastern coast ports.This report will also help port to add some point of mine
in their future business plan proposal.This will also help them in finding the point if they miss
any point in their repot.

Research Method
Research is the systematic approach towards purposeful investigation through formulation of
hypothesis, collection of data on relevant variables, analysis and interpretation of results and
reaching conclusion either in the form of a solution or certain generalization.
Formulative or Exploratory Research : a research which investigate any problem with suitable
hypothesis. It is particularly important for clarification of any concept and throwing new light
for further research on principles of developing hypothesis and its testing with statistical tools.I
have taken this exploratory research because I have to investigate why the port lost first rank?
I had also investigated about the charges of the different port of eastern coast and compare it
with Kolkata Port Trust. After collecting all the data analysis part on charges had done and port
come to know their strength.
3.1 Research Problem
My research problem is on topic future potential in container terminal at KoPT. In this topic I
had also mentioned the name of country from where container comes and where they are export
from port.I had also research about the port charge during the container handling at KoPT and
then analysis is done.
3.2 Research Methodology
The information for study is obtained from two sources namely:
Primary Data Sources Secondary Data Sources
Secondary Data Sources:
It is the data already been collected by others which may be published or unpublished. This datais primary data for the agency that collects it and becomes secondary data for someone else who
uses this data for his own purpose. This data is from the number of books and records of the
company.

Methods of Secondary Data Collection
Various publications of the central and state govt. Various publication of foreign governments/institutions Technical & trade journals Book, magazines and news-paper Reports and publications of KoPT Reports prepared by research scholars Researcher must ensure the reliability, suitability and adequacy of secondary
data
3.2.1 Research Objective
To study the future import potential of container terminal at KoPT. To study the annual handling of the container terminal in India. To study the container handling at Kolkata Port Trust. To study the importance of logistics management in operation activities of port. To study the various charges impose while handling the containerized cargo at port. To study the various connectivity of the port. To study the comparison between all the other ports of eastern coast.
To know the status of KoPT among all major Indian Eastern Coastal Port.
3.2.2 Scope & Rationale of the study
Shipping is basic process of transporting goods and cargo. Virtually every product ever made,
bought, or sold has been affected by shipping. Despite the many variables in shipped products
and locations there are only three types of basic types of shipments; land, air, and sea.
The shipping industry is a truly global community. It is intrinsically international indeed it wasthe very first global industry because of the international nature of shipping it is regulated by
United Nations agencies and the international maritime organization (which is based in London).
There are other closely inter-related sectors of the shipping industry. These include Linear
Agents, chartering brokers, maritime insurers and insurers and ship surveyors, as well as export /

import brokers and wide range of ancillary industries also. Port of Kolkata, the terminal to the
east coast of india, plays a crucial role as the last point distribution base for southern, eastern,
central and northern states of india. Described as the Brightest Jewel of all Indian major ports
for its outstanding performance and productivity over the years, Kolkata Port serves as a catalyst
in spurring domestic and international trade. KoPT offers cost effective, reliable and trustworthy
services to the EXIM trade and facilities opportunities for business development. The
containerized shipment is currently being handled at NSD/HDS.
The Kolkata Port Trust is the 2 nd container handling facilities on the major port. Inspite of the
increase in the number of vessels waiting time similarly,the average turn around time of the
vessels had come down reduced and average turn around time.

Findings and Analysis
Pestle Analysis
Political:There is no intervention of West Bengal government on Kolkata Port Trust, because it is an
major port out of 12 major ports of India which is governed by Central Government.
As Kolkata port is a riverine port and it suffers allot due to draft problem.
Kolkata port was receiving around 400 Cr. Per annum as a dredging subsidy from central
government. But this subsidy is being decreased annually to some extent and in upcoming year itis being said by the ministry that they are not going to provide subsidy.
Kolkata Port Trust Chairman Mr. R.P.S Kahlon, who was present in the seminar organized by
Bengal Chamber of Commerce & Industry, said that we have been hearing abou t the
withdrawal of dredging subsidy, through the ministry has not given this in written, there is a
thinking at the planning commission - level and cabinet level, they are considering whether to
continue to this or not.
Phase out of dredging subsidy could impact the efficiency of Kolkata Port Trust and cargo
handling could dip up to 30 million tons per annum.
Economic:
Left front government ruler west Bengal for last 30 years, CM Shree Budhadeb Bhattachargee
did nothing for the development of west Bengal, there was no such industrialization during these
30 years, but now TMC has taken over the left front.CM Mamta Banarjee is trying to develop the
state to a for extent industrial growth rate has developed to 7.6% as an base of 3.4%. Per capital
Income is Rs. 55.222, earlier it was Rs. 49.218(unless left front govt.)

As there is no such industrialization in Bengal, due to this port not getting the business Mamta
Banerjee is trying hard to attract the industries, if she can than the port will definitely get the
business and which will help Kolkata port to accelerate its revenue.
Social:
West Bengal is located in eastern India, is the cultural hot state of India, Kolkata, the capital city
in popularity nickname as The city of joy. This city is the epicenter of the glorious Bengali
tradition and is the commercial capital of eastern India.
Here youth love to work as an IT professionals, they only prefer the job only of IT background
thats why west Bengal government is only attracting IT investors . W.B. govt. is providing fiscal
&non-fiscal incentives to the IT investors leading call centre companies like GE capital,
Spectramind (Next Genix) were contacted and convinced by the govt. to come in Kolkata. Thats
why there is no social effect on Kolkata port.
All IT investors who have invest or planning to invest, they dont need much of cargo or project
cargo, so they dont need port for importing the cargo for their new set up
Environmental:
Environment of west Bengal is of medicate type, neither hot nor cold t hats why employees feel
comfortable during their working hours, they all try to give their 100% in every shift to increase
the productivity of port, So there is no such environmental effect which disturb the working of
Kolkata port
Technology
Due to globalization, lots of private players of India and outside from India have invested in
Kolkata. Through them Kolkata port is getting business such as- Electrosteel & Casting ltd. has
its manufacturing unit at Haldia in west Bengal, it export per month 1200 to 1500 container
across the global boundaries.

To make the work more efficient port is using following technology
EDI- electronic data interchange port has its own software called POMS(port operation
management system) all the port operational activity are done through this software, after
implementation of this software time taken in operational activity has reduced twice. GPS- Global Positioning System, due to riverine port, the ports pilot has to bring the
vessel from Sandhead, so to trace the position of vessel the marine department of Kolkata
port trust in using GPS to reduce the turn round time of vessel, s o that vessel doesnt has
to wait for port pilot to come and take the vessel to ports lock gate .
WMS - (Wireless Marinetime Service) This is being successfully used by the dock master
&dock pilot, with the help of Walky Talky they talk to each other while entering the
vessel into dock and operating it
E-PORT - (Electronic Port) With the help of POMS the container agent book their cargo
online and vessel agent declares the no. of container which his vessel will take of which
container agent. In this Superintendent or Asst. Superintendent easily trace the position of
container in container yard for loading or delivery
RFID- ( Radio Frequency Identification) It is yet to be implemented. All planning has
been done for its execution.
Legal
Legal formalities of Kolkata port is same as all major ports Such as-
For import - importer will have to give manifest and pay shore handling charges, warehouse
charges, custom will pass the good after checking and imposing import duty.

For export -exporter will have to file an application to dock manager for opening of export
,exporter will also have to file a cargo description in customs and will have to pay the loading
charges.
Shore handling charges is being fixed by the traffic authority of major Ports (TAMPS) they givea scale rate to the port and according to that scale rate port charges to the importer/exporter.

7. PPP (Public Private Participation) in Kolkata port
In yet another setback post the pull-out of India-French joint venture Haldia Bulk terminal
(HBT) from Haldia, Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT) has now failed to get any private player to build
the proposed Salukhali Dock.
Despite the controversy over HBT's pull out from Haldia in November last year, KoPT went
ahead with its capacity expansion plan inviting Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Haldia Dock
II project, at Salukhali, close to the existing Haldia dock.
The Rs 1,700-crore project to build four berths at Salukhali, was proposed to be executed under
PPP model. Although, KoPT had earlier claimed many private players were keen to participate,the tender floated seeking a interested private player for the project, has seen no response. The
project would have added 23.4 million tonne capacity.
This is true that there was no proposal. But we have got 160 acres land from the state for the

project. Also, KoPT has nod from the public private partnership appraisal committee (PPPAC)
for the project. KoPT can always float a tender for the project, an KoPT official said.
8. The challenges Kolkata port is facing Pensioners:
It has 25000 pensioners and port has to pay around 125 Cr. per annum as a
pension.
Draft:
During high tide muddy water flow inside the port and when low tide come these
mud and clay silt down, which reduce the draft of port, and for dredging port has
to pay approx 400 Cr. per annum.

21. Future Investments Profile of Kolkata Port
The journey of the first major as well as the only riverine port of the country continues
through the tortuous process of ebb and tide, expectancy and challenges, intricately woven with
the varying draft/siltation of the river Hooghly which cradles it, as it continues to adapt and re-
engineer itself in newer locales and diversifying functions. The port of Kolkata has made
investment decision both for KDS and HDC, keeping in mind the river morphology and traffic
that can best be handled in these two locations harnessing the respective potentials of the two
dock systems. A major challenge for a riverine major port like Kolkata has been its inadequate
draft preventing vessels of higher dimensions/parcel size to visit the port. Simultaneously, being
a riverine Port and strategically connected to National Waterway No.1 and National Waterway
No.2, Kolkata Port has huge potential in respect of movement of cargo through Inland Water
Transport (IWT) mode.
A well diversified investment programme, costing around Rs.1400 crore, aimed at
improvement of infrastructure / capacity augmentation to be funded through internal resources ofthe Port/Grant-in-Aid by Government of India, has been embarked upon in the 11 th / 12 th Five
Year Plan, encompassing, inter-alia, construction of riverine terminals with improvement of
back-end facilities; integrated development of infrastructure including road / rail connectivity,
improved storage /yard logistics, induction of state-of-the-art equipment, viz. Stacker-cum-
8/12/2019 Future Potential of Container Terminal..

56
Reclaimer, new VTM System alongwith AIS with interfacing/ integration etc, augmentation of
IT, River Regulatory Measures for improvement of draft at Hooghly estuary etc.
Apart from above, various PPP projects with an investment commitment of around
Rs.12000 crore have been/are being taken up. Illustratively, Kolkata Port has been vigorouslyexploring its deep-drafted areas while continually gravitating southwards and envisages setting
up of cargo handling facilities there, like, deep-drafted port at Sagar, development of an
alternative Dock System at Haldia Dock II, Diamond Harbour Container Terminal, construction
of an Outer Riverine Terminal at HDC, operationally linking it with transloading operations for
Midstream handling of dry bulk cargo at Sandheads and its close vicinity while, for rejuvenation
and expansion of Kolkata Port.
22. Meaning and description of the following
CFS
The term CFS at loading port means the location designated by carriers for the receiving of
cargo to be packed into containers by the carrier. At discharge ports, the term CFS means the
bonded location designated by carriers in the port area for unpacking and delivery of cargo.
DWT
Deadweight tonnage is a measure of how much weight a ship is carrying or can safely carry.
It is the sum of the weights of cargo, fuel, fresh water, ballast water, provisions, passengers,
and crew. The term is often used to specify a ship's maximum permissible deadweight, the
DWT when the ship is fully loaded so that its Plimsoll line is at the point of submersion,
although it may also denote the actual DWT of a ship not loaded to capacity.
MV
The mother vessel is the carrier that will actually carry your cargo overseas, so a bulk carrier
or a container carrier. The reason for the distinction is that it might take several vessels until
your cargo actually reaches the seaport.

THC
Terminal handling charges is an ancillary charge on some ocean freight shipments to cover
the cost of moving the container from the container yard to ocean vessel.
IPA
IPA (Indian Port Association) is an organization that was conceived and constituted by the
Major Ports of India under the Societies Registration act in 1966 with the prime objective of
developing and increasing efficiency and productivity in ports and its working environment.
The functioning body of IPA comprises of the Chairman of all Major Ports, which are the
local authorities formed by a statute and function under the regulatory control of Ministry of
Shipping, Road Transport & Highways, Govt of India. The Chairman of Association is
elected in the Annual General Meeting while the Secretariat of IPA is headed by the
Managing Director who operates from New Delhi.
PCS
Port Community System (PCS) is intended to integrate the electronic flow of trade related
document/information and function as the centralized hub for the ports of India and other
stakeholders like Shipping Lines/Agents, Surveyors, Stevedores, Banks, Container Freight
Stations, Customs House agents, Importers, Exporters, Railways/CONCOR, Governmentregulatory agencies, etc. for exchanging electronic messages in secure manner.

SWOT Analysis of Kolkata Port Trust
Strength:The major strength of Kolkata Port Trust
It is situated in the middle of Kolkata City. It is connected to National highway & Eastern Railway, through this
Importer/Exporter easily transports their goods.
Custom office is in the port premises by which Importer/Exporter easily do their
shipment.
It has vast land.
Weaknesses Major weakness of Kolkata Port Trust is draft problem. Non-Mechanized berth. Non utilization of dry dock and some oil-jetty. Improper stacking of container in container terminal. Non-utilization of vacant area in the port premises and out of it.
Opportunity: Kolkata Port Trust attracts more Container Vessel. Few more berth required for container. Container must be stacked properly and trace accordingly.
Threat:There is only threat and it is a major threat, that is Silting of Sand and Clay which reduce
the draft of port.

Recommendation
Clerk level employees knowledge should be enhanced by giving them proper computer training.
Employees should be sent for seminars where they can meet and talk to
other ports employee, where they can know the other ports are handling
the problem which they are facing.
Top level management must interact with lower level to find out the
solution, if there is any problem.
All unutilized berth must be utilized and berths should be highly
mechanized and multipurpose.
Dredging of port should be privatized Private Player are attracted for
the dredging of port.
Except main line operations, All other should be outsourcing, such as
hospitality, gardening, sweeper, mechanize lighting and fixture etc.
The cantilever crane which has the capacity to handle 200 tones, should
be utilized properly, non utilization is causing the damage and the crane
is depreciating .
