For the month of July 2016, JN Port handled 3,81,558 TEUs and JNPCT, port owned container terminal handled 1,27,282 TEUs. On year to year comparison JNPort recorded growth of 1.25% and JNPCT recorded 16.59% growth over last year.
The Pre-berthing waiting time (on Port a/c) at JNPCT for July reduced to 0.05 days as compared to 0.16 days in last year and the gross berth productivity increased to 69.59 moves/hr in comparison to 64.98 moves/hr recorded in last financial year. The average import dwell time at JNPCT has come down to 15.84 hours for July, which is significantly less than the global benchmark of 36 hours.
The Inter Terminal transfer of Tractor Trailers achieved highest monthly transfer in the month of July, since the start of this initiative. Total of 21,581 trucks availed this facility completing 27,134 transactions.
Since the terminals at JN Port were not inter-connected, any Tractor Trailor (TT), after exiting from one terminal, had to repeatedly stand in a queue to enter the other terminal leading to longer queues and added to congestion. This was a matter of concern for trade as it was an added expense in terms of time and cost. Acting on this long pending demand of the trade and for optimal utilisation of TTs, JN Port allowed the Inter-Terminal Transfer of Tractor-Trailers (TT) by allowing the sideways movement between all the three terminals in a phased manner from Feb’2015.
With this initiative trade has benefitted in saving of at least 7.5 km road movement per trip by completing two commercial transactions in one trip leading to faster turn-around time alongwith reduced fuel consumption and pollution in and around the Port area.
As of today, a total of 2,41,984 trucks with 3,02,778 transactions have already availed this facility, resulting in drastic load reduction at the terminal gates as it has resulted into reduction of traffic on port roads by more than 6% besides saving of fuel cost.
