In view of continuous
growth in container traffic and meet growing demand of
business community and trade partners to have additional
facilities for handling the same, the Port took initiative
for the first time in India to introduce the private participation
and invite global tenders for developing new Container
Terminal to augment container handling capacity of JN
Port. JN Port entered into a license agreement in July
1997 with M/s. Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal
(NSICT) a consortium led by M/s. P & O Ports, Australia,
for construction, operation and management of a new 2
berth container terminal on BOT basis for period of 30
years. The same was fully operational from July 2000.
The project comprises construction of 600 Mtrs. quay length;
reclamation of 20 hectors of area for container yards
and requisite container handling equipment along with
other related facilities. The design capacity of this
new 2-berth container Terminal was considered as 7.2 Million
Tonnes per year. However, this capacity is further augmented
and currently assessed as 15.6 million tonnes per year.
