First consignment of garments exported through NMPT

March 7, 2011

NMPT

Mangalore, March 7: Container traffic at NMPT got a shot in the arm when the first consignment of 40 feet container with Garments/Linen exported through New Mangalore Port on Monday, March 7, in the container vessel M.V. OEL TRUST.

The consignment of 4237 packets of cotton processed garments/linen produced at the Hassan SEZ by M/s Himatsingka Seida Ltd. has been exported to USA.

This is for the first time garments are handled at the Port. The Mainline operators are M/s CMA CGM and the handling agents M/s Cargo links. The total transit time will be 28 days which is comparable in terms of ocean freight, transit time and road freight to the neighbouring ports.

P Tamilvanan, Chairman, has attributed the handling of this new cargo, hitherto moving through neighbouring ports, to the pro-active marketing efforts made by the Port at various locations of the hinterland during the last few years coupled with the infrastructure additions made for the smooth handling of containers. Through these trade meets, the Port could convince the exporters/exporters from the hinterland that New Mangalore Port – the Gateway Port of Karnataka could handle any type of cargo at economical rates with less transit time and reliability. He has added that the above garment unit, which is a 100% export oriented one, is expected to move their entire consignment of export to the tune of 25 TEUs per month through New Mangalore Port.

The Port could also attract another new cargo like building materials which started importing from gulf countries. The container traffic at the Port has crossed 36000 TEUs during the current year (as on date) with a growth rate of 27%.

Mangaluru, May 30: Accusing the chief minister B S Yediyurappa led Karnataka government of ignoring frontline warriors against covid-19, Mangaluru MLA U T Khader has demanded immediate release of pending salaries of doctors, lab technicians and nurses hired under the National Health Mission.

Addressing a press conference in the city today, the former minister said that Congress would launch an agitation if the government fails to release the amount immediately.

The non-payment of salaries clearly shows that the government has no concern for the COVID-19 warriors who are serving on a contract basis for two months, he said.

Mr Khader said there are 23,000 personnel hired under the National Health Mission in Karnataka including 600 in Dakshina Kannada district alone.  All of them are waiting for their salaries for the last two months.

“Asha workers were also partially paid for the month of April. If the government had concern towards COVID-19 warriors, they would have paid extra for the doctors, nurses, and other workers who are working tirelessly in the fight against COVID-19 at the grassroots level,” he added.
