The average cargo being handed in aI Major  ports  is around 45o/o. This figure does not imply that the berths  are underutirised.  There needs to be certain rever of redundancy  when berth capacity  is considered  to ensure that vessels can be serviced immediatery  on arrivar. This  wi  ensure  that port efficiency can be maintained and the trade does not suffer by way of demurrage  charges on vessers. secondly, traffic through  Major  ports  is on the in.r""." whereas  capacity  creation cannot be achieved within  a short period of time. considering  the high GDp growth of the country, corresponding growth  of EXIM traffic is expected  in future.

- (d) No Port in the country has been privatised  as the ownership  of the rand and waterfront  remains  with the respective  state/centrar  Government  after the concession period gets over.
- (e) 3(three)  new non-major ports  on  ppp  Moder under the state Government of Gujarat  at the location  chhara, Jafrabad,  and Bhavnagar  are coming  up in Gujarat. No new port on  ppp  model rs curren y coming in Tamil Nadu.
