roundtheclock service throughout the year. This study the management of vessels and
containers with special reference to the Port of Tuticorin. In that, it for the most part depends
upon secondary data. The data is provided by a multitude of agencies involved in shipping and
maritime trade including the Port. In summary, although every type of cargo contributes to the
cause of vessel, cargo and container traffic in the Port in its characteristically distinctive
manner, the pattern is steady and homogeneous overall.
