GANDHINAGAR: The Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) Ports has handled around
200.9 MMT of Cargo between April-September 2019 registering growth of
over 4% on YoY basis. Crude oil cargo shipment stood at 47.9 MMT which
is almost 24% of total cargo handled, said a communiqué from GMB.
Gujarat Maritime Board has established itself as Maritime Leader in
port development, privatisation and specialised cargo handling in India.
It is also the 1st Maritime Board of the Country which was created up
in 1982 with a vision "To enhance and harness ports and international
trade as vehicles for economic development.”
With foresighted thinking and strategically located longest coastline
of 1600 kms, GMB charted a different and unexplored route of port
development in 1980s. This was the era when Major Ports enjoyed monopoly
over sea freight, with very little or no port capacity with State
Governments.
