Located on the northern coast of the Gulf of Kutch on the west coast of India, Mundra Port is India's largest private port. Its location provides a convenient international trade gateway to Europe, Africa, North America, and the Middle East. Since operations began in 1999, the Port has developed into a major economic and transportation center for the region and for India. The port hosts extensive docks and warehouses and boasts significant modern technologies for inventory and navigation requirements. Over 60,000 workers maintain the various facilities. Within 10 years since its start, it has become the world's largest facility for coal handling. It has grown to become India's major port for crude oil transfers, as well as grain crops which are routinely routed through the large systems. Landsat satellite data, acquired and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrate the changes to the port facilities and to the region. A large road network connects the port to area communities, which have grown in recent decades as the port has developed. These Landsat images show the changes in the area over 12 year period, from 1999 when the project was launched, to 2011. |
