PIC SOURCE: http://www.shippinginternational.com
The total traffic
handled by all ports in the country grew by 3 percent in 2011-12 over the previous
year, latest Economic Survey tabled in the Parliament on Feb 27 has revealed.
The growth,
according to the report, stood at 911.7 million tons. 11.5 percent growth
achieved by non-major ports contributed to the overall traffic growth, although
there was a decline in traffic handled at major ports.
The traffic handled
by all ports grew by 1.8 percent in the first half of 2012-13 (April –
September) over the corresponding period of the previous year. The share of the
non-major ports in this growth was 10.3 percent.
The three port
related performance indicators i.e. average turnaround time (in days), average
pre-berthing detention time (in days) and average output per ship – berth – day
(in tons) have shown improvement in 2011-12 and April-September, 2012 over
corresponding previous period. The average output per ship-berth-day improved
to 13,374 tons for all major ports during April-September, 2012-13 compared to
12,825 tons in corresponding period of 2011-12.
The average turnaround time at major Indian
ports improved to 4.15 days in 2012-13 (April-September) as against 5.29
(2010-11) and 5.05 (2011-12).
The average pre
berthing detention time (PBDT) for all major ports declined from 2.32 days in
2010-11 to 2.04 in 2011-12. According to the Economic Survey, this could be a result
of the lower volumes handled by ports due to the global turn down.
