Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNP), the youngest and most modern major port of India, was commissioned in 1989 with a land area of 2,500 hectares. The port was initially envisaged to relieve traffic off the Mumbai port and serve as a hub port for the Western region. With highly automated operations and developed infrastructure for bulk and container traffic, JNPT has emerged as the gateway port to modern India and has become the most favoured port to the maritime trade of Western region. The all weather tidal port is located in between the islands of Nhava and Sheva on the West Coast of the country and shares the common harbour channel with Mumbai port and Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal. The vast back up area of the port is ideally suited for future maritime requirements. The water front infrastructure stretched over 54 sq. Kms, JNPT has strong potential to develop additional facilities as per demand. Future plan JNPT has already drawn up developmental projects and accordingly started working. The port has planned to become the first container transhipment hub of the country, attracting fourth or fifth generation mother vessels by deepening the approach channel at an estimated investment of Rs 6.0 billion within the next three years. Jawaharlal Nehru Port authority has earmarked Rs 4.8 billion for development of infrastructure facilities of 'B' and 'C' class chemicals in the tank farm area, additional port crafts, infrastructure facilities for vehicle exporters, warehouses for storage of dry bulk cargo, cold storage facility and container stacking yard. It is also contemplating the idea of developing additional berths for handling of agri-products, ores, vehicles, steel scrap and sponge iron products.

(Louisiana Offshore Oil Port) was organized in 1972 as a Delaware corporation and converted to a limited liability company in 1996. Ashland Inc., Marathon Ashland Pipe Line LLC, Murphy Oil Corporation, Shell Oil Company, and Texaco Inc. are LOOP's owners. The port facility is located in the Gulf of Mexico, eighteen miles south of Grand Isle, Louisiana, in 110 feet of water. LOOP is the only port in the U.S. capable of offloading deep draft tankers known as Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCC) and Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC). Along with offloading crude from VLCC’s, LOOP also offloads smaller tankers. The port consists of three single-point mooring buoys used for the offloading of crude tankers and a marine terminal consisting of a two-level pumping platform and a three-level control platform. The onshore oil storage facility, twenty-five miles inland (the “Clovelly facility”), is connected to the port complex by a 48-inch diameter pipeline. It provides interim storage for crude oil before it is delivered via connecting pipelines to refineries on the Gulf Coast and in the Midwest. The oil is stored in eight underground caverns leached out of a naturally occurring salt dome. The caverns are capable of storing approximately 48 million barrels of crude oil (a barrel of oil is equal to 42 U.S. gallons). In 1996, one cavern was dedicated to the MARS stream coming in from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The MARS crude oil system uses the same distribution system used by the foreign barrels. Four pipelines connect the onshore storage facility to refineries in Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast. LOOP also operates the 53-mile, 48-inch LOCAP pipeline that connects LOOP to CAPLINE at St. James, Louisiana. CAPLINE is a 40-inch pipeline that transports crude oil to several Midwest refineries. LOOP is connected to over 50 percent of the U.S. refinery capacity and has offloaded over 6 billion barrels of foreign crude oil since it's inception.

This represents an 8% increase over 1998 for passenger vehicles on the Port aux Basques run, an 11% increase on the Argentia run and an 8% increase in commercial vehicles. This follows strong growth in both 1998 and 1997. Marine Atlantic experienced its third consecutive record-traffic year in 2000, surpassing the half million-passenger level for the first time between Newfoundland and mainland Canada. Marine Atlantic carried 508,970 passengers in 2000, an increase of 7% over the previous year. The company owns four ocean class vessels: The superferry MV Caribou was built at the Davie shipyard in Levis and entered service in 1986 on the Port aux Basques run.

The MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood is a sistership to the Caribou and entered service in 1990. It operates during the winter to Port aux Basques and during the summer to both Port aux Basques and Argentia. The MV Atlantic Freighter was built in Asia in 1978 and was acquired for the Port aux Basques run in 1988 mainly to carry trailers without drivers, containers and dangerous commodities. The vessel is not a passenger ferry. It is 151 m long, has a GRT of 5466 and can carry 75 trailers. The MV Leif Ericson began operation on the Port aux Basques run on June 2, 2001. It has a GRT of 18,523 tonnes and will carry 500 passengers and up to 300 autos or 75 trucks at 17 knots. As with the superferries, it has two high headroom decks and roll-through loading. It also has stabilizers, bow thrusters and an ice-class hull. A strength of the company is its well trained workforce. Peak season employment will be in the range of 1100 employees at shore locations and aboard the vessels. The person-year equivalent will be about 900. In 2000, customer revenues grew by more than 3 percent over the previous year, while an increase in spending was also reported. The company has no debt.
