The  advent  of  the  21st  century  has  brought  the  world  to  the  doorstep  of  united  development.  In  today’s  world  no  ‘True  advancement’ can take place in isolation.  Any  ‘intervention’  into  the  society  with  an  aim  of  raising  the  development  indices  of  living  have  to  be  carefully  planned,  executed  and  management  through  the  Life  cycle  of  the  ‘intervention’.   It is in this quest for diligent, renewed, continuous and committed  growth that today the word ‘Industry’ no longer is used in its usual  parlances of manufacturing.  It is used to address the non manufacturing sector as much as it is  used to address the Manufacturing Sector. In fact  all of  us today  see ‘industry’ as a mix of producing goods and services.  It is one of the few development intervention tools in the hands of  society which generates employment and thus gives opportunities  to individuals to harness their respective potent for their individual  as well as united progress.  Therefore in its new avatar, ‘Industrial growth’ is significant to the  progress  of  any  society,  country  and  region.  Government’s  world  over are realizing this (particularly the developing world), and have  introduced  several  mammoth  intervention  tools  like  Special  Economic Zones (SEZ), Special Investment Regions (SIR), Industrial  Corridors (IC) and even industrial townships to ensure progress in  sector.   this    Centre  for  Environmental  Planning  &  Technology  (CEPT)  University,  in  collaboration  with  Gujarat  Industrial  Development  Corporation (GIDC) has introduced a first of its kind programme, a  24  month  Post  graduate  degree  of  Master’s  in  Planning  with  specialized  education  and  training  in  the  field  of  ‘Industrial  Area  Planning and Management’ (IAPM) from Autumn 2008.   Says  Rutool  Sharma  (Course  coordinator,  IAPM),  “This  course  will  help  in  sustainable  growth  of  the  Industrial  Sector  by  producing  trained professionals in the country.”  The Batch 2008 consists of Nineteen Graduate Professionals from  the  fields  of  Architecture  (7),  Civil  Engineering  (5),  Environmental  Sciences  (5)  and  Geography  (2).   

Semester I                                                   

The previous semester ‘Area Planning Lab’ was dedicated towards  getting the students acquainted with the various tools of Industrial  Development  intervention  used  by  planners  to  boost  industrial  growth and development in an area.  It was during this process that the students became familiar with  the  planning,  implementation  and  managerial  aspects  of  and  Industrial  Estate,  Industrial  Park,  Logistics  Hub  and  a  Special  Economic Zone.  They studied case examples to the aforesaid from world over and  were  later  given  two  planning  exercises  each  for  Brownfield  as  well as Greenfield development.  Subsequently  they  applied  their  respective  learning’s  from  their  case studies  and came ...

That’s why the 4th district officials in which the said municipality belongs are proposing a RoRo port located on it’s northern tip barangay, Maya, which directly faces the sprawling beach of Malapascua Island and the neigbooring provinces like Leyte. Currently, Fourth district Rep. Benhur Salimbangon continues to fund the completion of the roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) port in Maya, Daanbantayan which was initiated by the provincial government. Garcia proposed P50 million for this project which is already affirmed by the provincial Board. This project should not only limit as being a port. There should also be a bus terminal since the site is located on the end point. Ceres Liner, D'Rough Riders and Cebu Autobus are among the bus companies with regular trips to and from Daanbantayan. 2. Problem Statement For several years, the municipality of Daanbantayan doesn’t’ have bigger ports that hold ships going to neighboring provinces. It only has mini ports that can only cater small boats going to its islands like Malapascua and Carnaza. In Brgy. Maya, the mini port leading to Malapascua Island is privately owned. It also currently serves as a bus terminal for Ceres Liner. However, when the RoRo port would be done, the Ceres Liner will soon park on its new bus terminal....

  • Essay on Port

    ...Taylor Weir Mrs. Black ENGL 1900 9 March 2015 “Love Begins at Home” Speech Analysis At the Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony in 1979, the small, fragile frame of a woman could be seen pacing up the stairs to the podium. Applause and cheers erupted throughout the crowd. One would think that it would be difficult to sum up the lifetime achievements and huge strides made of a woman so great, and so powerful. It was only after seventeen years of teaching in India that she found her “calling within a calling” and pushed the formation of her missionary. Being one of the world’s largest and most active advocates for peace at the time, Mother Teresa was sent to this earth to help restore a little faith. Her message did not go unheard either; many who had for so long turned their backs to equality and religious differences were suddenly changed by her words and actions. She brought the issues to the table and would not be excused until they were resolved. Rather than speak of her accomplishments, it was unsurprising when she spoke of the most important matters at hand: the lives of the people she served. Mother spent her life making others’ better, and she clearly states this throughout her speech with the use of rhetorical devices and appeals to the reader. Our world is no stranger to cultural differentiation. We are unique in the way that no two people are alike, and we can have so many varieties of people. It’s what makes our Earth so incredibly diverse, and truly fascinating....

  • Essay about Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust JNPT Is

    ...Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) is a port located at the eastern end of Mumbai in the Nhava Sheva area of the state of Maharashtra, India. Its approach channel is an extension of the Mumbai Harbour main channel and is approximately 33km inland of the Mumbai Harbour Channel entrance point at sea. JNPT’s designed channel depth is 11m and depth at berths is 13.5 metres that can take in vessels having laden draft upto 12.5 metres. Port Background The JNPT was primarily built to decongest the Mumbai Port in 1989 becoming the second youngest port in India at that time. However, the JNPT failed to live up to the expectations it had generated regarding its performance since its inception right up to 1994. The JNPT also suffered from some of the drawbacks inherent in the Indian port sector, especially in terms of capacity that prevented it from achieving world standards of port efficiency and performance. Subsequently, the Port administration soon realized the urgent need to upgrade and augment the port‘s equipment to ensure larger cargo handling capability. The JNPT took the initiative to introduce private participation in ports for the first time in India. In1995, a proposal was made to invite private  participation in creating a new container terminal while retaining the existing  one under government ownership and operation. In 1997, the Nhava...

North America's history has been shaped by its ports on the seacoasts, rivers and the Great Lakes. From the late 1400s, the sheltered harbors provided safe refuge for early explorers and settlers. Cities depended on docks and shipping terminals as their communications and commerce lifeline to the rest of the world. As port cities prospered and grew, the bustling wharfs and big ships became less visible, but no less important, as major highways and tall buildings dominated the waterfront.

The capacity of such ports needs enhancement to minimize operational interruption of their terminals as the containers move in and out the ports.

The systems of marine terminals capable of handling varied cargos in terms of size and quantity with the proper application of new technologies available business practices to increase efficiency are the agile ports (Marad.dot.gov, 2015). The development of the global trade and the emergence of possible financial crisis makes the transactions require fast time information from the ports to keep the cargos moving.

  • Port Operations Research Paper

    ...With the rapid expansion of trans-oceanic transportation older ports on the East Coast of the United States with limited real-estate must remain viable options to move cargo. Ports seek alternatives to move additional cargo with advancements in equipment, intermodal operations, and alliances. Adapting to change will keep the current ports layout in a position to process cargo and remain viable in cargo movement operations. Successfully adapting over the shore marine cargo movement operations during rapid globalization is vital to the sustainability of the Eastern sea board maritime fleet movement. The possible future vessel characteristics and related handling operations will put high demands upon infrastructure and superstructure of ports and terminals (Konings, 2008). As vessels expand carrying more cargo port operations must expand as well to compensate for the additional movements. The Eastern ports in the United States cannot expand land area thus they must seek alternatives to transfer cargo. One method to enhance operations while not requiring additional real-estate adaptive crane structures. The Carrier Crane utilizes two waterside trolleys (rope-driven) which position containers onto moving carriers to double hoist cargo during marine port operations (Konings, 2008). Simply the Carrier Crane is two hoist contained in the same structure that would previously...

    ...PORT FAIRY – THE MOST LIVABLE TOWN IN THE WORLD I live in Port Fairy which is in South West Victoria. As a mother of four I find it extremely relevant and desirable to bring my children up in a fun and carefree environment.
