Major Ports cargo over time
Year-on-year cargo growth
Vessel turnaround time by Major Port (FY 2024-25)
Average pre-berthing + at-berth turnaround in days, sorted fastest to slowest. Lower means ships sit at anchor for less time — a direct measure of port efficiency.
Annual dredging volume by Major Port (FY 2024-25)
Capital + maintenance dredging in million m³ — a proxy for the silt-management burden each port carries.
