GMB has a vision for
the International Maritime sector for the year 2020. It is envisaged
that the year 2020, will reveal a very different picture of the port
sector, in terms of composition of cargo, vessel traffic and parcel
size of vessels, resulting into an altogether new definition of port
operations, with state-of-art-infrastructure. Due to
this change, many old ports in operation today, may vanish from the
maritime map or become redundant by 2020, if they do not adapt to
the changing requirement of time. At the same time, many new port
sites which are being developed now, will flourish for a long time
to come.
In view of sincere
and rigorous pursuance of greenfield and other developmental
projects , GMB has envisioned following progress in the port sector
of Gujarat by 2020:
-
Each
port of GMB to be established as 'THE PORT OF CHOICE'.
-
100 per cent
automation of cargo- handling process through mechanization
and/or instrumentation and control technology.
-
Fully computerized
systems
-
Adequate berthing
and storage facilities at ports
-
Pre-berthing
delay non-existent and average turnaround time nearing
international standards for direct berthing ports.
-
Each
port acting as an independent profit centre.
-
Commodity
group-specific port terminals with optimal synergy and focus.
-
Extensive
linkages of ports with hinterlands along with sufficient
infrastructure backup.
