The port also comprises of steel yard, coal yard and bulk yard. Then students were taken to visit and observe the entire port area via bus.

Then we were taken to the Marine Control Room. They use the software “Automatic Identification System” which uses GPS technique for the positioning of the vessel. Every vessel has a unique IMO (International Maritime Organization) number and is registered through that number. The communication device works on UHF for 5-6 kms and on VHF for 120 kms. Approximately 100 ships are handled at the port per month. That implies 3-4 ships per day.
