Despite the major ports in India having made strides in productivity in the past few years the vessel-handling charges are still the highest as compared to our nearest international competitors.
The vessel related charges in Jawahar Lal Nehru port in India which handled as much as 1.93 million TEUs last fiscal, at $ 37 per TEU is 75 per cent higher than that of Singapore.
Both Colombo and Dubai also charge at much lower rates of $7 and $ 6 per TEU respectively
