Analysis on Port Performance Indicator of Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port

Abstract

The performance of ports plays a crucial role in facilitating global trade and economic growth. In this study, an analysis is conducted on the port performance indicators of Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, one of the major ports in India. The aim of the analysis is to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the port operations, identify areas of improvement, and suggest measures for enhancing the overall performance of the port. The study employs a quantitative approach, utilizing relevant data on port performance indicators, such as cargo throughput, vessel turnaround time, berth occupancy rate, container handling, and productivity, among others. The data is collected over a period of time, and statistical analysis, trend analysis, and benchmarking techniques are applied to assess the performance of the port. The findings of the analysis reveal the current status of the port's performance, identifying strengths and weaknesses in different areas. The study highlights the need for improving the port's operational efficiency, optimizing resource utilization, enhancing container handling capacity, and reducing vessel turnaround time. Additionally, the study identifies the need for technological advancements, infrastructural upgrades, and operational streamlining to improve the overall performance of the port. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights and recommendations for port authorities, policymakers, and stakeholders to implement strategic measures for enhancing the performance of Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, and thereby contribute to the growth and development of the maritime trade sector in the region. Further research and analysis in this area are warranted to continuously monitor and evaluate the performance of the port and implement effective strategies for sustainable port operations.
