Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust handles more than 55% of India's container cargo and has three terminals at its facility. JNPT operates one container terminal, while DP World and APM Terminals operate the other two. The strike is at the APM Terminal, shown here before the strike, due to the hiring of 'outsiders.'
Private container terminal, Gateway Terminal, has shut operations at its Navi Mumbai facility after strike by employees, leading to congestion at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and diversion of traffic to Pipavav Port in Gujarat.
JNPT’s own container terminal is operating at more than 120% capacity and extra cargo from Gateway Terminal has led to congestion.
Employees of Gateway Terminal, which is operated by APM Terminals, have been protesting against the company’s decision to hire 11 “outsiders”.
