Gujarat
is basically a maritime state endowed with a
1600km long costline which makes it a strategic
location serving as a natural gateway to India.
The coastline of Gujarat is dotted with 41 ports
( 1 major and 40 minor ports ) which caters to
the demand and supply of cargo from the nearest
maritime outlets like middle East, Europe &
Africa. Besides this, the entire Northern India
and some parts of Central India serves as the
hinterland to Gujarat Ports.
Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) is the first
Maritime Board of its kind in India set up in
1982 which as the regulatory authority for all
the 40 minor ports of the State and it
facilitates the rapid growth in port
infrastructure and cargo handling operations.
GMB also has the distinction of being the first
maritime authority to have successfully
implemented the process of privatization and the
only state in the country to have two LNG
terminals in India. GMB handles about 80% of the
country's minor port throughput. Its share in
the total national cargo throughput is more than
20%.
To encourage private participation in port and
related services, the policy packages available
are as follows:
(1) Port Policy - 1995 (2) Build Own
Operate & Transfer (BOOT) - 1995
(3) Build Operate & Transfer (BOT) Law -
1999 (4) GIDC Act - 1999 |
