Mumbai's JNPT hits all time record of 4.27 million TEU in 2010-11

DRIVEN by surging foreign trade, volumes at Mumbai's Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), India's largest container operation, hit an all time high, rising five per cent to 4.27 million TEU in fiscal 2010-11.


Maersk's JNPT port operator, APMT's Gateway Terminals' volume came to 1.85 million TEU, up from 1.76 million TEU the year before, reported Newark's Journal of Commerce. DP World's Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal throughput grew to 1.54 million TEU from 1.53 million TEU the year before, according to port authority figures while 880,000 TEU cross the docks at the state run facility against the previous year's 780,000 TEU.


April-to-February exports soared 31.4 per cent year on year to US$208.2 billion, surpassing the target of $200 billion for the full fiscal year, said the Ministry of Commerce, which also announced plans to boost India's foreign trade to $450 billion by fiscal 2013-14.
