Kandla Port has launched a series of transformative infrastructure initiatives to strengthen its role in port logistics in the supply chain and establish itself as a global maritime hub. With a focus on connectivity, operational efficiency, and safety, the port’s latest developments are strategically designed to enhance cargo movement and seafarer welfare. A key highlight is the inauguration of a state-of-the-art Seafarer Centre, offering holistic welfare facilities including a waiting lounge, medical room, salon, gym, café, music and yoga zones, swimming pool, and more. This initiative underscores the port's commitment to improving the well-being of maritime workers, who are integral to global shipping ports and freight handling operations. To improve cargo evacuation and reduce India port congestion, Kandla Port has extended its railway infrastructure by 750 meters, connecting Berths 13 to 16 with the Kutch Salt Junction. This development complements the upcoming Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC), promising faster and more efficient freight transport and easing port congestion in India. Further reinforcing safety, the port has also established a dedicated Fire Brigade Station equipped with modern infrastructure, including a 50 KL underground water tank, ensuring rapid emergency response capabilities. These initiatives reflect Kandla Port’s vision of evolving into a smart port and supply chain leader, driving sustainable growth and boosting India’s competitiveness in global trade.
