Estimation of TS
traffic
1. Map key container
traffic routes to/
from India
2. Estimate % share
of transshipment
on each of these
routes
3. Identify Cargo
origin/ destination
ports and
transshipment
hubs on each
route
1. Calculate end to end cost
economics for current
transshipment cargo
through hinterland ports vs.
gateway through Colachel
2. Identify contours of cost
indifference
3. Estimate cargo traffic in the
region unfavorable to
Colachel
Converts to Gateway
1. Calculate end to end cost
economics for current
transshipment cargo
through hinterland ports vs.
gateway through Colachel
2. Identify contours of cost
indifference
3. Estimate cargo traffic in the
region favorable to
Colachel
1. Identify routes / O/D pairs
that are cost economical
through Colachel
2. Split traffic on favorable
routes by lines – identify
key liners to be attracted
3. Identify key imperative
assess Colachel's ability
to win share
4. Estimate target share of
traffic by route / liner
% share for Colachel
% share for Colachel
1. Assume a higher traffic
share %age given favorable
cost economics
