The container terminal includes a spacious backup area covering 65,000 sq m, serving as storage for containers. It is equipped with six reach stackers, an empty container handler, and two mobile harbour cranes, facilitating efficient cargo handling.

This expansion project highlights JSW Infrastructure's dedication to strengthening container operations at the New Mangalore Port Trust. By increasing the port's capacity, the company aims to meet the growing demands and contribute to the economic development of the region.
