Question

Consider the following statements mentioned below:

Identify the port:

• A. Jawaharlal Nehru Port
• B. Kandla Port
• C. Marmagao Port
• D. New Mangalore Port

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Kandla Port

Kandla Port situated at the head of Gulf of Kuchchh has been developed as a major port to cater to the needs of western and north western parts of the country and also to reduce the pressure at Mumbai port. The port is specially designed to receive large quantities of petroleum and petroleum products and fertiliser. The offshore terminal at Vadinar has been developed to reduce the pressure at Kandla port.

Demarcation of the boundary of the hinterland would be difficult as it is not fixed over space. In most of the cases, hinterland of one port may overlap with that of the other.
