Govt owned Visakhapatnam ranked
19th, first time for an Indian port making it to top 20. Adani-owned Mundra
ranked 27.
In 2022, Visakhapatnam port ranked 115 and Mundra’s ranking was 48. The
improvement is a milestone for India’s maritime industry, officials in the
ports and shipping ministry said. The Indian ports have achieved this by
enhancing their operational efficiency and service delivery.
Officials said Visakhapatnam port has demonstrated good performance on
parameters, such as 27.5 moves per crane hour, a turnaround time (TRT) of 21.4
hours, and minimum berth idle time. These highlight the port’s ability to
handle container ships efficiently and influence customer preferences.
The seven other ports which
were ranked within 100 were Pipavav (41), Kamarajar (47), Cochin (63), Hazira
(68), Krishnapatnam (71), Chennai (80) and Jawahal Lal Nehru (96).
The index prepared by the World Bank and S&P Global Market
Intelligence is a comparable assessment of performance based on vessel time in
ports. Yangshan port in China and Salalah port in Oman were top two ports in
terms of rankings.
“The average duration of a port call (time taken to load or unload at
least one container) in 2023 was 40.5 hours, which represents a slight increase
over the global average of 36.8 hours in 2022. About 11.7% (or 3.7 hours) was
idle time consumed at the berth immediately before and after cargo operations. Also known as the ‘Start-Up’ and ‘Finish’
sub-processes of a port call, each activity does not necessarily need to take
more than 30 minutes to complete safely,” said the report.
