Mundra to add container capacity
Mundra Port, India's largest privately owned container port, said this week it would construct a new container terminal to increase its capacity by 50 percent.
The new terminal, the third in the Gujarat port, is scheduled to come online in 2012, according to a report in Containerisation International.
Capacity at Mundra is 2 million TEUs, and the third terminal would add another 1 million TEUs. Mundra has the deepest draft of any port in India and has lured container shipments that ordinarily might use Nhava Sheva (India's biggest port, near Mumbai) due to its proximity to the capital, New Delhi, and its efficient operations.
