Figure 69: Indian sub-continent trans-shipment traffic for Enayam
The next step is to estimate the gateway traffic for Enayam. This is a combination of existing trans-shipment traffic
at other Indian port, becoming gateway traffic for Enayam and gateway traffic captured from the hinterland. The
estimations for gateway traffic at Enayam is discussed in the next sections.
Coastal traffic
Coastal container traffic for Colachel would be driven primarily by the feeder network carrying the trans-shipped
EXIM cargo to other Indian ports. It will be ~1.5 Mn TEUs in 2030 (already included in the figure 84). Domestic
coastal cargo expected to be handled in Colachel is negligible (at present, only ~0.6 Mn TEUs for domestic
coastal cargo is handled across Indian ports).
