hazardous environment. Maintaining proper safety at work place and health of employees is a

responsibility of the management both morally and legally for an organization.

1.3 NEED FOR THE STUDY

Work place plays a central role in peoples life, since most workers spend at least eight hours a

day in the workplace, therefore, work environment should be safe and healthy. Yet this is not the

case for many workers. Every day workers all over the world are faced with a multitude of health

hazards. During the work hours, dock workers face lot of health problems and most of the time

1
they work dangerous work environment. Management should give importance to the health and

safety measures in the organization.

1.4 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

Overall study of the organization

To study the various departments.
To analyze the product/services of the organization
To focus on provisions given by management to workers towards health & safety.

departments. The company should undertake measures to maintain satisfaction level of

employees about the health and safety in the work place.

1.6 METHODOLOGY ADOPTED

The value of any research is in the method adopted, it is the different methods which are used in

research studies applying the theoretical subject to the study. Along with the graph and tables both

primary and secondary data be used in this study. .

Company records such as fmancial statement.

Company administrative report and journals
Company websites.

1.7 LITERATURE REVIEW

2
The author John B Minor and Mary Green Minor in the book Personnel and Industrial

Relations and Managerial Approach. In this book he has explained that the major feature of

safety management is the development of various committees to encourage prevention. Another

feature is a provision for accident reports whereby companies can identify particular problems

and problem areas, in addition to satisfying government reporting requirements. Prevention is

done by safety training, publicity contests and control of the work environment, safety

inspections order and an improved safety environment. The later trends to be found where there is

a diversified safety program in process and considerable top management involvement in it.

The author P. Subba Rao in his book Personnel and Human Resource Management the author

has explained that every organization must put together and implement a safety policy. Since

large number of workers spend a great part of their time in an industries, their environment is not

usually prone to healthy life. Likewise, malnutrition, sanitary, psychological conditions and the

strains and stresses come under condition which-they live. The environment exposes them to

hazards. That is the reason why industrial health programs are introduced both for employers and

workers benefit. It reduces absenteeism, labour turnover, accidents and diseases. The other

benefits, which cannot be easily measured, include reduced spoilage, improved morale, increased

productivity per employee and a longer working period of an individual.

The author Rustom S Davar says that, irrespective of legal provisions, every progressive

management is concerned with the employees health and providing safety even as they are at

work. It is really the duty of the personnel department, or the personnel officer concerned, to

ensure that provisions in this regard are properly observed. Due to agreement with such

provisions, they are expected to promote good employee health and safety which would result in

better employee efficiency and productivity as well as enhance the employee morale and loyalty.

3
Mr.P. Tamilvanan Chairman of NMPT says, in safety manual book, in general safety aspects are

generally ignored by majority of Indian workers in spite of safety aids, instructions, memories of

accidents and dangerous occurrences residing in the minds of individual workers. They overlook

safety precautions and quite often come to grief. The situation can only be improved by

corrections and repeated reminders by supervisory staff. A safety manual like this Will definitely

help in bringing the need for safety and the way to achieve safety in particular situations as given.

The authors Herbert G Heneman 111, Donald P Schwab, John A, Fossum and Lee D Dyer say

that, safety activities in an organization are designed to reduce the occurrence of injury, illness

and death among employees. Prerequisites to achieving this as an ability to measure accidents and

identify their causes, particularly in the general sense of knowing what percentage of accidents

are due to unsafe conditions; significant here are safety standards created under the Health and

safety act.

1.8 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Since the target group under learning constitutes a very large portion of employees, study

is limited to only few employees.

In some cases the respondents were not willing to provide certain information inspite of

being assured the confidentiality would be maintained.

And the work schedule of the employees is busy and timely information carmot be

gathered.

 INDUSTRY PROFILE

2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE

2.1.1General introduction

History

National economic development of India fully depends on a healthy functioning of harbour

system. According to the Ministry of Shipping, approximately 95 per cent of India's quantity by

trade and 70 per cent by value are made up through marine transport.

India has got 13 major and 200 non-major ports and Cargoes traffic, which is documented in

1,052 million metric tons (MMT) in 2015, and it is predicted to reach 1,758 MMT by 2017. The

Indian ports and shipping industry, very important role is played in supporting growth in the

countrys trade and commerce. The sixteenth largest marine country in the world is India, having

a shoreline of about 7,517 km. The Indian Government plays an significant role in sustaining the

ports sector. The Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of up to 100 per cent under the usual route for

port and harbour construction and maintenance projects are permitted by Indian ports. It also

facilitates a 10-year tax holiday to enterprise that develops, maintains and operates the ports i.e.

inland waterways and inland ports.

The past

The ancient port of the Harappan culture refers to flourishing trade through sealine in 2000 BC,

according to historical references, reflecting the port related developments centuries ago. The

coast of India, with long history of maritime activities, has been listed along with several ancient

ports. The evidence for the existence lies in port related structures in the seashores. At Dwaraka,

5
Rupen Bandar, Porbandar and Sulthanpur and offshores have been revealed the existence of j

etties by the marine archaeological explorations in the last three decades.

On the east coast during the Sangam age, in Tamilnadu, had been the ocean commerce for the

area. The ancient literature Akananuru of Sangam era also suggest us about existence of 20 to 25

ports in this region. In Ptolemy geographical accounts, the notion was further documented in

Greco Roman, which clearly mentions the existence of 15 ports.

The French came to Masulipatnam, Pondicherry, Chandernagore and Surat to establish their

company in 1667. The EaSt India Company was established by the British in 1757; they fought

with French for seven years continuously and acquired the control over several ports.

The present

While the important ports were regarded as the gateways of the country, during post

independence came under the union government, other ports were moved into control of

respected states and administered by them. .

They evolved news ideas time to time and introduced several measures to improve infrastructure

at the port, since the successive governments at the centre were fully aware of the facts that ports

are not just the places but the growth engines.

The measures have helped the government to project as countrys growth and it helped the policy

makers to bring down their demand on the sectors to become an icon. India started witnessing the

entry of contaminated cargoes into the country in the early 19803. For handling containers from

ships Chennai port was the first port in India for having berth.

Major ports, which are in the control of union government, began awarding contracts to foreign

players to manage container terminals in their wharves. After globalization in early 1990, the

country opened up for investments. And it has helped the government to identify the market size

6
for the segment. And it also helped the major ports to bring capacity addition in the container

handling segments.

Meanwhile, non major ports, which are in the control of maritime boards and privates, have

expressed their role in increasing capacity in ocean ii'eight movement. A few of them have also

proved their role in handling multi cargo at their berths and challenged the supreme condition of

major ports in their region.

The future

Major as well as non major ports are working towards the same stream for economic

development of the country, the system is in critical condition where there is a need to remove or

eliminate the procedural failures to enhance the productivity in the ports.

The need for umbrella bodies is felt by the analysts where the issues and challenges related to the

port could be taken with the primary program of benefitting the stakeholders. If the share of water

in freight transport increases then it is undeniable fact that sustainable growth happens, clearing

the barriers like colonial rules and regulations and variation in tariffs and other charges in the port

sector is need.

Further, any setup where there will be a uniform in functioning of all the ports in the country on

tariff and other economic aspects, it will contribute to the economy and prosperity of India.

Till 2013 Indian shipping industries has maintain a negative outlook by receiving low ratings.

Capacity over flow brought by the low level of international trade and additions are expected to

keep rates closed across the chief segments of dry bulk, tankers and container carriers in 2013.

Due to high capacity adding dry bulk rates will keep on to be impacting in 2013, In US demand

as well as in industrial activity in growing nations including China, container and tanker charge

may exhibit greater steadiness around the current low levels determined by relative stability.

7
As they would be faced with high fuel costs on one hand and subdued revenue in others, the

operating margins of shipping companies globally would carry on to be under pressure in 2013.

Bunker fuel prices would remain high comparing with crude prices.

Cargo handling import and export

The cargo handling in NMPT can be roughly divided into two groups, dry and bulk liquids. Bulk

liquids are mainly handled at the POL jetties which are located at the south west side of the port,

and dry bulk is handled at the North east side of the port. The exact distribution of commodities is

not presented in the administrative reports and was obtained during the discussion with the

NMPT. New Mangaluru Port Trust has handled more cargo in the year of 20132014 financial

year. The highlight in cargo handling came when NMPT emerged as the largest LPG handling

port among major ports in country. The port achieved the traffic record of 37.07 million tons

during fiscal year 2013.

Land lease to port users

In utilizing the powers listed under section 49 of the major port trust Act, 1963, the tariff

Authority for major ports hereby approves the proposal of New Mangaluru Port Trust for lease of

port lands as in the order appended here to.

Bunkering facilities

Bunkering in the port is possible but only for the bunkering of barges. There is no proper idea that

the ship will berth at dedicated bunkering jetties in the port. Ships should be moved along the

quay wall during the loading and discharging of the ships. The new POL/ crude jetty at the

to commercial shipping on 7th of October 1933. It has grown up today into a multi commodity

port with variegated cargo.

3.1.9 SWOT ANALYSIS

NMPT has a number of strength and weak points in terms of its position in Indian and

international port facility and service markets. Along with that anther it face a number of 7

opportunities and threats.

Strength

The port of New Mangaluru is ideally positioned to the logistics service industry and its

customer base for a number of reasons in Arabian Sea basin.

The port is suited to fulfill the cargo flow for south Indian cargo that originate or are

destined for the state of Kamataka and partly for Kerala. The hinterland consists of

population and a variety of industries such as the garment producing industry, mineral ore

production, thermal power plants, electronic equipment and consumer goods like coffee

and refrigerated cargoes.

With a hinterland area of about 50 ml inhabitants NMPT has a base to handle a substantial

volume of containers for both the imports and exports. The distance by road or rail for

neighbouring ports is 250kms or more, which supports shippers of goods to choose New

Mangaluru, based on cost of transport from origin to destiny

The port is equipped and maintained with deep water berthing up to 15.1 m depth and is

operated except on three national holidays. And however shipping activities are carried

19
 out during these three national holidays also. These provide facilities for all types of

cargoes and also give 24 hour service.

There is sufficient backup area available. This allows provisional storage and handling

operations to be executed or to be established.

The NMPT has a healthy financial position both balance sheets and profitability.

Weakness

The marine infrastructure is designed to allow ships of max length over all 245 In. this

shows ship over dead weight tonnage 100,000 cannot be handled in this port due to

navigational constraints and the channel depth and width.

Cargo handling for certain cargoes like dry bulk cargoes is done manually which results in

high turnaround time for ships. This creates high cost of transport to shippers of goods.
To deploy the ports dock labour existing terminal is required only to cargo handling

operations. This restricts NMPT to enter into contracts with private operators that manage

NMPT terminal with their own labour force and labour cost compared to that in minor/

private Indian ports that are at the liberty to employ and manage labour.

Opportunities

NMPT has lots of opportunities to increase its output and improve its functioning. Some

private customers show interest in developing berths and jetties and the time for public

partnership deals.
The high volume of cargo creates a base of income to NMPT and will result in sound

operating profits. This automatically implies that funds are available in future for

infrastructure development preferably in cooperation with private investors and operators

of cargo handling.
The participating in the special purpose vehicle established to develop the Mangaluru's

Special. Economic Zone creates mrther opportunity to proceed with the activities that

benefit from tax incentives. Apart from the involvement of NMP, the SEZ will generate

additional cargo flows from the nearby industrial and trading activities.

20
Threats

NMPT faces the structure of ever disturbing handicap of being, a public controlled

enterprise. Many regulations limit the management become independent. and professional

organization, such as labour laws, HR routines and the labour conditions of the market.
Further the international vessel size improvement will create additional financial burden

of capital dredging and strengthening of quay structures.

The port's competence at present is short of certain skills and to cope up with these in

future rationalization of activities and promoting a stimulating the markets.

29
4.3.1 Importance of employees health and safety

The area under discussion of safety and accident prevention is of significant distress to managers

for several reasons. For one thing the information regarding work related accidents are rather

overwhelming. The National Safety Council reports, for example, that for a latest year there are

over 14000 deaths and almost 250 million injuries resulting from accidents at work. Many safety

experts feel that these numbers critically underestimate the actual number of injuries. The US

Public Health Service, for the similar period, gives information about almost 850 million injuries

and even this last figure doesnt include injuries that didnt restrict the injured persons activities

for which he expected no medical notice. They dont reflect the human suffering incurred by the

injured workers and their families. They dont reflect the economic costs incur by these working

class employers costs for things like time off, insurance and medical payments. Nor do they

reflect the legal implication of the problem like the managers who were sue or imprisoned for

failing to cover safe work places.

4.3.2 Health

An important function of human resource management is to choose the employees and to provide

them healthy working conditions so that their efficiency and productivity can be increased and

maintained and also the problems of absenteeism and turnover can be minimized.

According to the joint ILOWHO Committee on Organizational Health Industrial health is:

a) The prevention and maintenance of physical, mental and social well being of workers in

all occupation.
b) Protection of workers in their employment from risk resulting from factors unfavorable

to health.
c) Prevention among workers of ill health caused by the working condition
d) Placing and maintenance of the worker in a occupational environment adapted to this

physical and psychological environment.

30
4.3.3 Industrial health is required

1. To maintain and improve productivity and quality of work

2. To advance employee motivation and moral
3. To reduce spoilage and cost of operations
4. To reduce industrial unrest, indiscipline, accidents and minimize absenteeism and

turnover.
5. Promote and maintain the highest level of physical, mental and social well being of

worker.

4.3.4 Two aspects of health

1. Health hazards

2. Health risks.

Health hazards

Health hazards are condition which may cause diseases to the workers. According to Ronald

Blake these hazards may be classified into chemical, biological, environment and psychological

a) Chemical hazards: chemical hazards produced from certain chemicals and gases such as

Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulphuric oxide, hydrocarbon, ozone

and various acids. These chemicals and gases may also affect skin or internal parts of the

body through breathing and may cause different diseases.

b) Biological hazards: biological hazards are in the form of bacteria, Viruses, fungi, insects

etc. which cause various diseases. Besides, dietary deficiencies, excessive drinking,

allergies etc are also the source of diseases.

c) Environmental hazards: environmental hazards are in the forms of noise, radiation,

vibration and improper atmospheric conditions. Radiation is caused by the use of x-rays or

radioactive isotopes. Excessive radiation causes redness of eyes, genetic disorders, cancer

and sterility. Excessive noise is another source of diseases such as temporary or permanent

deafness, nervousness etc. excessive vibration may cause nerve injury, inflammation of

31
 tissues of joints etc. inappropriate atmosphere conditions are caused by inappropriate

light, ventilation, temperature, cleanliness and dusty environment. These may result into a

number of diseases such as poor eye sight, headache, heat strokes, heat cramps etc.
d) Psychological hazards: psychological hazards are in the form of stress and anxiety

affecting conditions. While many improper physical conditions existing at the work place

may produce stress and anxiety, there may be many stress generating psychological

factors such as fear of loss of job, denied opportunities for promotion, poor supervision,

poor peer relationship, various organizational practices not conductive to employees etc.

these conditions may cause stress afar from the tolerance limit of the employees and they

have different types of physical and emotional maladjustments.

4.3.5 Health risks

These are the results of physical conditions and presence of industrial poisonous and non-

poisonous gases and dust in the atmosphere adjoining the workplace. In the process of convert

raw materials into finished products, some elements enter the human body in such quantity that

causes danger to the health. For example, in thermometer manufacturing process, workers health

is affected badly because of the long and continued inhalation of mercury vapors.

4.3.6 Statutory provision concerning health

Various statutory provisions concerning industrial health have been made in chapter 111 sections

11 to 20 of Factories Act, 1948. The provisions are as follows,

1. Cleanliness (sec 11): every factory should be kept clean and free from effluvia from

arising any drain, privy or other nuisance. Building should be white washed at least once

in five years. Floors should be swept and cleaned every week.

2. Disposal of wastes and effluents from factories (sec 12): proper arrangements should be

made for their disposal and treatment.

3. Ventilation and temperature (sec13): provision should be made for the circulation of fresh

air, and temperature should be maintained by building walls and roofs of such materials as

would keep it within reasonable limits. High temperature may be controlled by white

washing, spraying and insulating the factory premises and by screening outside walls,

roofs and windows.

4. Dust and fumes (sec14): effective measures should be planned to prevent, or at any cost

reduce, the inhalation and accumulation of dust and fumes. Exhausting appliances should

be used near the point of the origin of dust and fumes.

made available in the factory premises.

6. Artificial humidification (sec15): in respect of all factories in which temperature of the air

is artificially increased, the state government make rules regarding standards of

humidification. It may also make rules regulating the methods used for artificially

increasing the humidity of the air. It may further make rules prescribing methods to be

adopted for securing proper ventilation and cooling of the air in the workrooms.
7. Overcrowding (sec 16): no room should be overcrowded. There should be at least 500 cu

ft of space for every worker.

8. Drinking water (sec 18): a sufficient quantity of cool drinking water should be made

available for the employees throughout the year, particularly during the hot summer

months.

condition.
11. First aid appliances: there should be an adequate number of boxes containing first aid

materials, qualified personnel to administer first aid, and an ambulance or at least a room

where an injured employee may be given first aid.

33
4.4. Safety

A large number of industrial incidents occur every year resulting in diseases and injuries, fatal

and non fatal. The direct consequence of accident is loss of man hours, demoralization of

workforce, payment of I compensation and other expenses including medical assistance

expenditures. As a legal matter, safety implies a state of relative security from accidental injury or

death due to measures designed to guard against occurring of accidents.

4.4.1 Objectives of safety

Adoption of safety is of paramount importance to an organization because of:

To prevent loss of human life.

To install a sentence of confidence and ownership amongst the stakeholders, including

employees and general public.

To create awareness and develop safety habits.
To provide safe working condition.
To control financial loss
To improve productivity
To improve compliance of statutory provisions of safety
To improve market credibility

4.4.2 Types of safety: There are three types of safety

1. Self safety: Safety is primarily the responsibility of the management. However, all

employees are responsible for their safety in their own interest. Employees should take

care of all safety precautions, procedure, safety clothings articles and appliances.

34
 2. General safety: Employees should not unnecessarily fiddle with machines, unless they are

trained in it. Workplace should kept clean and free from obstacles, pits, holes, sumps,

spilled oil, tools and fixtures etc. employees should take advice of their supervisor to .

maintain safety at workplace.

3. Machine safety: Employees should possess power knowledge and skill in operation and

maintenance of the machines. It should take proper safety measures while operating,

fixing, cleaning or lubricating the machines.

4.4.3 Safety measures

1. Safety policy : Every manufacturing organization should formulate a safety policy. In

developing safety policy, organizations have the following choices:

a) The organization must decide the level of protection, it will offer to its employees.

Various organizations can be categorized into two groups so far as the level of safety

measures is concerned.
b) The organization must decide whether it will adopt a proactive or reactive approach in

providing safety measures.

c) The organization must decide how the safety measures should be administered and the

extent to which the workers or their representation will be involved in the process.

2. Safety engineering : The adoption of proper engineering procedures to minimize and if

possible, eliminate work hazards is fundamental to any safety programs. It involves:

a) Ergonomics: job should be so designed as to facilitate proper integration of man and

machine.
b) Material handling equipments: hazards and risk free procedure and practices should be

developed for material flow.

35
 c) Plant maintenance: adequate, periodic and planned maintenance of plant, machinery and

related services should be carried out prevent accidents.

d) Safety devices: safety devices of good construction should be provided as per the

requirements of work of the organization.

3. Safety training: Safety training should be organized by the organization to develop safety

awareness and habits in the employees. Two types of objectives associated with safety training:

a) Among employees and build up favorable attitudes in them towards safety to develop

safety to develop safety consciousness measures and precautions.

b) To ensure safe work performance on the part of each employees by developing skills in

the use and operation of safety equipments.

4. Safety administration: Safety administration involves those activities through which safety

programs are made more effective. These activities include followings:

a) Safety organization: safety is the responsibility of both management and workers.

Management is responsible for developing adequate safety measures and workers

responsible for making effective use of those measures. From the management side, safety

officer should involve. Labor unions can also participate in safety programs by motivating

workers to use safety measures with adequate precautions.

b) Measurement of accidents: measurement of accidents undertaken to find out whether

safety programs are adequate and safe.

c) Accident records: accident records should be properly maintained so that the nature of

accidents is known, their causes are analyzed and adequate precautions are taken in the

light of the analysis.

d) Safety campaigns: safety campaign involves informing and motivating employees to

observe safety in the organization. Such activities include putting posters, screening films,

safety weeks and safety awards. Safety posters with poignant and penetrating slogans may

be put on the walls near the workplace.

36
5. Government support: To extent support to safety related activities the government of India the

national safety council was established in 1966. The principle job of this council is to promote

safety consciousness at the plant level and conduct safety programs. The national safety day is

celebrated every year to signify the foundation day of the council.

SWOT ANALYSIS

5.1 SWOT ANALYSIS

49
NMPT has a number of strong and weak points in terms of its position in the Indian and

international port facility and service markets. Furthermore, NMPT faces a number of

opportunities and threats.

Strength of NMPT

In the Arabian Sea basin the port of New Mangalore is ideally positioned to the logistics

service industry and its customer base for a number of reasons.

The port is best suited to cater for South Indian cargo flows that originate or destined for

the States of Karnataka and partly for Kerala. The hinterland consists of substantial

population and a variety of industries such as the garment producing industry, mineral ore

production, thermal power plants, electronic equipment and consumer goods like coffee

and refrigerated cargoes.

With a hinterland area of over about 50 min inhabitants NMPT has a sound base to handle

a substantial volume of containers for both imports and exports. Distances by road or by

rail to major neighbouring ports are at least 250 km, which supports shippers of goods to

choose New Mangalore based on origin-destination cost of transport.

The port is equipped with well-maintained deep-water berths up to 15.1 mcd depth and is

operational except on three national holidays. However shipping activities (berthing /

deberthing) are being carried out even on these three national holidays; it operates 24

hours per day and can provide facilities for almost all cargo types.
Back up area is in general sufficiently available. This area allows provisional storage and

handling operations to be executed or to be established.

The NMPT enjoys a healthy financial position in both balance sheets and profitability

Weaknesses of NMPT

Its marine infrastructure is designed to allow ships of maximum Length Over All (LOA)

245 m. This implies in general that ships over Dead Weight Tonnage (DWT) 100,000

cannot be handled in port due to navigational constraints and the channel depth and width.

50
 Cargo handling for certain dry bulk cargoes (iron ore, coal) are still done manually which

results in high Turn Around Time (TRT) for ships. This creates subsequently high cost of

transport to shippers of goods. The manual handling also results in unsafe and

environment unfriendly effects such as cargo spills and dust.

For existing terminals the NMPT is required, by agreements to deploy the Ports dock

labour only to cargo handling operations (ship-shore). This restricts the NMPT to enter

into contracts with private operators that manage a NMPT terminal with their own labour

force fully and this may lead to higher labour cost compared to that in minor/private

Indian ports that are at liberty to employ and manage labour.

Other weak points include the environmental hazards from dust and spills and rather

administrative authority structure (valid for all Major Indian ports) that restrict the

management and the Board of Trustees in setting up its own (market oriented) port tariffs

and service packages for staff.

The port connectivity seems sufficient at present but the connectivity to National

Highways is in a poor state, heavily congested and sometimes not suitable for heavy truck

traffic. The port enjoys a railway connection to a marshalling yard, but there are no direct

railway lines to any berth.

Opportunities of NMPT

NMPT has ample opportunities to increase its throughput and improve its functions. Some

private (captive) customers show firm interest in developing berths and jetties time is ripe

for Public Private Partnership (PPP) deals. The partnerships will appear in all cargo types

that are presently handled.

The high volume of captive cargo creates a sound base of income to NMPT and has

resulted and will result in sound operating profits. This automatically implies that funds

become available for infrastructure development preferably in cooperation with private

investors and operators of cargo handling.

51
 The participation in the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) established to develop the

Mangalores Special Economic Zone (SEZ) creates further opportunity to execute

activities that benefit from tax incentives. Apart from NMPTs involvement, the SEZ will

generate additional cargo flows from nearby industrial and trading activities.

Threats of NMPT

NMPT faces through its institutional structure (a Port Trust under the MOSRTH) the ever

disturbing handicap of being a public controlled enterprise. Many regulations limit the

management to act as an independent and professional company, such as the labour laws

(no retrenchment), the HR routines (promotion), and the labour conditions (exceeding

market levels).
Furthermore the international vessel size developments will create additional financial

burden of capital dredging and strengthening of quay infrastructure.

The ports capacity can be improved by shifting cargo handling technique to faster and

safer mechanisation. This improvement may however still be insufficient to cater for

certain growth of cargo flows beyond projected cargo flow volumes. This may result

(again) in handling capacity shortage for certain cargo types which may result in either

over-utilisation of berth(s) or additional waiting time for ships.

The ports competence at present is short of certain skills (marketing, IT, HR

management) to cope with future rationalisation of activities and promote and stimulate

the port to the market.

The competition may not be very strong at present but other major and minor ports also

develop and will try to take a share of the competitive cargo especially when logistics are

favourable.
Ever continuing competition from nearby ports Cochin, Mormugao, Chennai and non-

major ports of Karnataka which may result in a possible deterioration of tariffs.

52
 The railway capacity of the main connecting lines (to Bangalore) may prove insufficient

in the medium and long run to handle all cargo to and from the port, not in the least

caused by the expected modal shift from truck to rail.

Chapter 6

CONCLUSION

Ports are a key component of infrastructure whose performance metrics have improved

considerably over years. Indian coastline has 12 major ports handling about 75 percent of Indias

port traffic and 184 other(intermediate and minor) ports serving the remaining traffic. Among the

major ports, again 75 percent are situated on the west coastline itself, of which New Mangalore

Port is one. There has been a steady increase in the total cargo being handled by major ports and

there is an impressive growth of container traffic. The main form of traffic consist of dry and

liquid bulk, general cargo, containerized cargo and iron ore.

53
New Mangalore Port is is a deep-sea, all-weather port and is midway between two major ports;

Mormugao and Cochin. The port has been conceived, designed, executed and maintained entirely

by the Indian engineering talent and skills. It was initiated as a harbour project in 1962 and has

given Mangalore the status Gateway of Karnataka. The port has a vast hinterland covering

almost the whole of Karnataka and part of Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. It is served by railway

lines with adequate storage space & facilities and is well connected on the national network

through Konkan Railway. Also, NH-17 passes adjacent to the port making it directly accessible

by road as well. Spread over a land of more than 2000 acres, the port facilities provided are to

face the growing challenges and emerging needs of the present day. The port is well equipped to

handle bulk, liquid chemicals, hazardous cargoes, crude, ore and containers etc.

The total length of road network with NMPT is about 30 km which facilitates the movement of

land cargo carriers like trucks and stalkers. In addition to the roads, the stock yards in NMPT also

have pavements which need remedial solutions.
