Calcutta, India, India

Calcutta port started operations in 1870. It was initially designed by the then British Government in line with the Port of London, to take care of its business and colonial interest. Despite innumerable odds faced by the port since its inception, it used to enjoy a premier position amongst the major ports of India and accounted for nearly 50% of the sea-borne trade till independence. However, with the rapid industrialisation in Western India concomitant to gradual deterioration of the industrial sector in Eastern India, the glory of this grand port has been outstripped. Calcutta port, the only riverine major port in India has two docking arms the Calcutta Dock System (CDS) and Haldia Dock Complex (HDC). CDS with its impounded docking arrangement, is located within Calcutta city and connected to Bay of Bengal through 156 nautical miles long navigational channel through river Hooghly. The Hooghly channel, longest ever riverine waterway used by ocean-going vessels, is infamous for its traps, siltations and known to maritime world as one of the highly unpredictable and risky navigational route. HDC is located at the bank of river Hooghly and Haldi, has started operations in 1968 as a satellite port of CDS. It also operates through impounded docking arrangement due to low river draft. The port serves to a vast hinterland, which includes states of West Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, states of North-East India and the two land-locked nations of Nepal and Bhutan. Future plan Calcutta Port has outlined expansion plan for handling 50 million tonnes of cargo by 2000-01. The port is considering a fourth oil jetty to handle projected POL traffic.

Holmdel,, New Jersey, United States

The Containerization & Intermodal Institute (CII) was founded as a non-profit professional trade organization in 1960 when containerization was still very much in its infancy as a mode of shipping. CII established industry forums and seminars at which transportation professionals could learn about this new commercial phenomena known as the container. Topics covered everything from intermodalism, to container standards to how corner castings worked. Today the container is everywhere – the foundational building block of a global economy. Likewise, CII has evolved. The core mission of the group continues to center on education. CII provides educational opportunities through existing programs and initiatives, including educational outreach, scholarships, and award programs.
