The Mumbai Port Authority has unveiled its Integrated Port Master Plan 2047, aiming to modernize infrastructure and enhance capacity, targeting over 100 million tonnes per annum of cargo. The plan emphasizes liquid bulk and multi-cargo operations, while also fostering urban development, maritime innovation, and sustainability for the historic port’s future.
The Union government has appointed M Angamuthu as the new Chairman of the Mumbai Port Authority. Currently leading the Visakhapatnam Port Authority, he replaces Rajiv Jalota following his retirement. This leadership transition is crucial as India’s major ports focus on capacity expansions and sustainability initiatives under the Maritime India Vision 2030.
The installation of a new pontoon at the Mumbai Port is set to streamline passenger loading and unloading processes, improving efficiency and safety. The upcoming passenger screening software will further enhance security measures, ensuring only authorized individuals access the piers. These initiatives mark a significant step in modernizing operations at the port.
