Port Trust could manage vacated Kochi box terminal

The possibility has been floated that Kochi Port Trust could assume managerial responsibility for the port's Rajiv Gandhi Container Terminal once DP World moves its operations to the new Vallarpadam operating area at the end of this year.

Around 10% of existing container traffic is in the form of short sea shipping and it is suggested that this could be better developed at the existing terminal, leaving DP World to handle inter-oceanic traffic.
