The Role of Ports in Development 

Ports are important transportation hubs that are a major part of goods movement. They handle roughly 95% of India’s external trade by volume and 70% by value. The basic function of a port is to provide a link between land and sea transport and transfers of freight and passengers between the two systems efficiently.

India has started supplying green ships, and it is the name given to any seagoing vessel that contributes towards improving the present environmental condition in some way. The Green ship technology adopts procedures to decrease emissions, consume less energy and be more efficient. It Decreases carbon emissions by 50% compared to trucks and 20% compared to trains. It can only be possible when people or goods are transported by ships using the minimum resources and energy potential to protect the environment from pollutants generated by the ships.
