Cochin Port Trust COCHIN PORT TRUST Cochin Port is one of the major ports in India which is located on the South west coast of India, in the state of Kerala. The Port of Cochin, a natural harbour is also known as the ‘Queen of Arabian Sea’. It is an all-weather port located on the vast expanse of back waters formed by the confluence of two major water sources namely, Vembanad Lake and Periyar river discharging into sea through an opening in the shore called ‘Cochin Gut’. The Cochin Port Trust is an autonomous body under The Major Port Trusts Act of 1963. The central government constitutes a Board of trustees, responsible for management of the port. The government of India from time to time nominate the trustees in the Board representing various interests. The Major Port Trusts Act 1963, makes provision for the constitution of the Cochin Port Trust to vest the administration, control and management of the port. HISTORY The Cochin Port was formed naturally due to the great floods of Periyar in 1341 A.D, which choked the Muziris port (Kodungallur), one of the greatest ports in ancient world. Ever since the choking of Muzaris, Cochin became one of major ports with extensive trading relations with Romans, Greeks and Arabs. The port further attracted European colonists like Portuguese, Dutch and finally British who extended their supremacy over Kochi kingdom and the port city of Fort Kochi. The traditional port was located near Mattancherry which is now called as Mattancherry Wharf. The modern port of Cochin was developed during the period 1920 – 1940 due to the untiring efforts of Sir Robert Bristow. He planned out a detailed proposal of reclaiming part of the backwaters at a cost of Rs.2.5 crores. An ad-hoc committee appointed by the Madras government examined and approved the plans submitted by Robert Bristow. The strong determination of Sir Bristow and his team, finally paid success, when large steam ship SS Padma, sailed into sailing from newly constructed inner Harbour of Kochi. In 1932, the Maritime Board of British India declared port of Cochin as a major port. The port was opened to all vessels up to 30 feet draught. After Independence, the port was taken over by Government of India. In 1964, the administration of the port got vested in a Board of trustees under the Major Ports Trusts act. The port was listed as one among 12 major ports in India. LOCATION Port of Cochin is located on the Willington Island at Latitude 9degrees 58’ north and Longitude 76degrees 14’ east on the south-west coast of India about 930 km south of Mumbai and 320 km north of Kanyakumari. The Cochin port is located strategically close to the busiest international sea routes 1) Gulf to Singapore and Far East (Distance from Cochin port – 11 Nautical miles) 2) Suez to Singapore/ Far East (Distance from Cochin port – 74 Nautical miles) Amongst all major Indian ports, Cochin is the closest to the international East West shipping routes. This geo-strategic location of Cochin gives it a distinct advantage. HINTERLAND With the strategic location of the port on the south-west coast of India and at a commanding position at the roads of the east-west ocean trade, the port is a natural gateway to the vast industrial and agricultural produce markets of the south-west India. The hinterland of the port includes the whole of Kerala state and parts of Tamilnadu and Karnataka state. The hinterland of the Cochin Port has further spread over to different areas with the growth of containerization in the country and establishment of Inland container depots at different load centres in India. Cochin with its Proximity to the international sea route between Europe and the Far East and Australia can attract a large number of container lines offering immense sailing opportunities.

  • Kochi Metro Which Is Being Formulated by DMRC Also Should Be Taken Up
    CITY MOBILITY PLAN - KOCHI 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL Kochi, the largest agglomeration in the state of Kerala is the nerve centre of all commercial activities in Kerala. One of the major ports in the country Kochi is blessed with connection with other parts of the country through all modes of transport like road, rail, air and water. NH 17, NH 47, and NH 49 pass through Kochi. Kochi port is located on strategic International route. Broad gauge railway lines link up Kochi to all major cities of the country. Kochi has got one of the three international airports in the state. In addition to all these the regional road linkages are supplemented by an extensive network of navigation routes through the lagoon system, serving the movement of passenger and cargo. Insufficient carrying capacity of the intra-urban and sub urban routes, unhindered development of vast areas as urban extensions due to urbanization, unscientific planning in urban infrastructure development , absence of proper linkage of various forms of transportation etc. have resulted in an inadequate mobility system in the city and suburbs. As part of the comprehensive development of the city an efficient mobility plan has to be formulated. 1.2 STUDY AREA It was only in the beginning of the 19th century that Kochi , which was situated with in the narrow strip of land sandwiched between backwaters and sea outgrew to Ernakulam in the eastern side of the back waters. The narrow streets of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry were not sufficient to take up the travel demand even at that time.

  • Survey Report of out of School Children in Cochin, Ernakulam District, Kerala
    Survey Report of Out of School Children in Cochin, Ernakulam District, Kerala Introduction Kochi is the most promising growth oriented development region in the state of Kerala. Developments in the city and surrounding areas have taken a fast stride in the last two decades. The Information Technology Institutions at Kakkanad, the International Airport at Nedumbassery, the new bridge linking Vypeen islands to the main land and the high impact residential and commercial developments in the city and the surrounding areas have caused direct and indirect development impacts in many sectors. The most apparent issues in Kochi City are the increasing traffic congestion and the degradation of urban environment. Ernakulam district has the credit of being the economic nerve centre of the state. It is the industrially advanced and flourishing district of Kerala. Due to its strategic location, Kochi has long been a centre of trade. For centuries, the city was renowned for its spices, jewellery, apparel and fishing industries. Major industries like Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore (FACT), Travancore Cochin Chemicals (TCC), Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT), Indian Rare Earths, Premier Tyres (now Apollo Tyres) etc. located in the adjacent areas of the city have had immense impact on the economy and developments in the city. In recent times, the Cochin Port in its expansion and modernization pace and the tourism industry have also contributed significantly to the local economy. The significant demographic fact about Kochi is that the city lies in Ernakulam District which is the most urbanized region in the state. In the recent years due to many large scale development projects, especially in the construction sector and information technology, substantial employment opportunities are generated in Kochi and this is a positive factor for the inflow of migration to Kochifrom different parts of our country.
