handling operations. This restricts NMPT to enter into contracts with private
operators that manage NMPT terminal with their own labor force and labor cost
compared to that in minor/

private Indian ports that are at the liberty to employ and manage labor.

Opportunities

functioning. Some

private customers show interest in developing berths and jetties and the time for
public

partnership deals.

sound operating profits. This automatically implies that funds are available in
future for

infrastructure development preferably in cooperation with private investors and

operators

of cargo handling.

0 The participating in the special purpose vehicle established to develop the

Mangaluru's Special. Economic Zone creates mrther opportunity to proceed with
the activities that benefit from tax incentives. Apart from the involvement of
NMP, the SEZ will generate

additional cargo flows from the nearby industrial and trading activities.

Threats .
0 NMPT faces the structure of ever disturbing handicap of being, a public
controlled enterprise. Many regulations limit the management become
independent. and professional

organization, such as labor laWs, HR routines and the labor conditions of the
market.

0 Further the international vessel size improvement will create additional

financial burden

of capital dredging and strengthening of quay structures.

0 The port's competence at present is short of certain skills and to cope up with
these in

future rationalization of activities and promoting a stimulating the markets.
