Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) loaded 4.32 million standard containers from three separate container terminals in 2011-12. Out of this, Gateway Terminals handled 1.89 million standard containers. Gateway is the biggest of the three container loading facilities by volume operating at JN port. The port handles about 20 percent of India’s container volume passing through ports. There has been an increase of approximately 30 percent in the number of trucks coming by road to the terminal. This is owing to the enforcement of weight limitation rules by traffic enforcement authorities.
Meanwhile, it is learnt that the port plans to engage a contractor for repairs and resurfacing of road at container freight station (CFS) with asphalt materials.
