Container terminals in Nhava Sheva Port (JNPT), India’s busiest public gateway, have been hit by congestion and are ‘operating far beyond our capacity levels’.
The problems are due to drastic capacity reduction at APM Terminals Mumbai, which accounts for the majority of export/import shipments moving through the gateway.
Sources noted that the number of weekly services handled by APMT Mumbai, also known as Gateway Terminals India (GTI), had reduced from the normal 13 calls to six, due to the closure of a berth for crane upgrades.
