Abstract:
Rapid changes in the technological environment of marine logistics and the
increasing integration of waterborne, air and land transport systems have fostered a
revolution in the design and operations of transport vehicles, cargo handling technology,
and terminal facilities. This in turn has caused major changes in the functions of and
uses of ports. From literature, it was found that these changes were very slow in case of
Indian ports and the performances of port operations were poor when compared with
similar ports in the same region. It was also found that a very few studies were
conducted to identify the reasons for slow improvements in the performances of Indian
major ports. In this thesis, an attempt is made to find out the operational problems of
Indian major ports and to analyze the reasons for it. Some solutions have also been
found out using management tools
