While the Major Ports are under the administrative  control of Ministry  of Shipping,  the non-major ports are under the jurisdiction  of respective State Maritime Boards/State  Govemment. Out of the 200 non-major  ports,  around 65 ports handle EXIM and non-EXIM  cargo and the others are "Port Limits" where no cargo is handled and these are used by fishing vessels and by small ferries to carry passengers  across the creeks etc. A list of nonmajor ports statewise is annexed.

(c):  All the 12 Major ports are functional  and there is no proposal to convert them into shipbuilding  yards. As regards  non-major ports, no proposals have been received from State GovernmentsAJTs to convert any non-functional  or existing  ports into shipbuilding  yards. However, Cochin Shipyard  Limited has set up a new Joint Venture Company 'Hooghly Cochin Shipyard Limited' with the Hooghly Dock & Port Engineers  Ltd (HDPEL), Kolkata  as part of its foray into the Inland waterways  transport  vessel segment and has plan to set up a new yard for construction and repairs of vessels for Inland and Coastal segment.
