Explain with reference to its location, how Haldia Port has helped release congestion at Kolkata Port.

Answer»

Haldia Port has been developed to release congestion at Kolkata Port. 

This port is located at the confluence of river Hugli about 105 km. downstream from Kolkata.

• It receives larger vessels which otherwise would have gone to Kolkata. 

• Some of the large vessels which cannot enter the Kolkata port can easily come up to Haldia. 

• The hinterland of port Haldia is more or less the same as that of Kolkata. It covers a vast area which includes almost the whole of eastern and northeastern parts of the country.
