Indian Ports It is Limited and cargoes are handled by conventional means Cargoes are handled mostly for consumption and originating. Hence heavily dependent on internal connectivity Containers arriving at Ports in India have to wait at the gate for considerable time for transaction of formalities & congestion. There are many human interfaces and manual exchange of documents. Indian Ports play both commercial and regulatory roles. Singapore Ports It is very high and sophisticated with infusion of latest technology in Handling Cargo Containers handled are mostly transshipment containers and therefore do not leave the terminal It is a fully automated and paperless process and is linked electronically to the Port s computerized system There are no human interfaces and no paper transaction. Singapore Ports and Terminals operate purely on commercial basis
