The Project on Improvement of Chennai Port Operation Final Report

3) Survey on Documents carried by Trailer Drivers

a. Harbor Entry Permit

The Team conducted interviews with trailer drivers of both import and export container vehicles at Port

Gate No.1 (IN) to determine if they were carrying the proper documents. The following figures show

the results of the surveys conducted at the data collection survey and at the 1st, 2nd, and 6th dispatch.

b. Sticker

According to the interview survey, sticker possession ratio of drivers was 60% (1st dispatch), but rose

to 88% (2nd dispatch) two months later.

The stickers are no longer used as trailer driver’s document possession ratio was improved.

4) Survey inside the Port

a. Survey on Parked Trailers

The Team conducted interviews with trailer drivers at Port Gate No.1 (OUT) at the 1st dispatch on their

entering time to the Port and calculated their staying time inside the Port. In addition, the Team

interviewed trailer drivers on their staying time inside the Port, double transactions1, and parking place

during the 2nd dispatch.

b. Survey on Traffic Congestion

The Team conducted a survey on the number of queuing trailers inside the Port for 24 hours every two

hours from 27 October to 3 November 2014.

c. Study on the Flow of Trailers using Monitoring Camera at Terminal IN Gate

The Team monitored incoming trailers to container terminal gates continuously by setting a fixed

point camera around IN Gates of both DPW and PSA terminals during the 6th and 7th dispatch.

d. Survey on Gate Processing Efficiency

The Team conducted site observation on the operational status of container inspection, document

check procedure, etc. in front of terminal IN Gates in addition to the observation by fixed point camera

during the 6th and 7th dispatch. The result shows that while Idling Time has been reduced, the reception

time has increased in both terminals. The reduction in the Idling Time is indicative of the smoother

trailer flow

5) Outside the Port Survey

a. CWC/CFS Survey

The Team counted the number of departing trailers headed to Port Gate No.1 each hour at CWC/CFS

from 17 to 18 October 2014. The Team also interviewed trailer drivers on staying time, stuffing place

and expiry date of Form 13 at CWC/CFS.

b. Transportation Time from CFS to Port Gate No.1

The Team interviewed trailer drivers about transportation time from departure (CWC, CFS,

etc.) to Port Gate No.1 (IN) during the 2nd, 7th, and 8th dispatch.

1 A trailer sometimes carries an import container out just after delivering an export container from/to container terminals.

The Project on Improvement of Chennai Port Operation Final Report

23

As trailer drivers who do not carry the proper documents are one of the causes of traffic congestion, a trial

was conducted with the cooperation of the private sector in which stickers were attached to trailers when

drivers possessed the proper documents. This was a good initiative which demonstrated the willingness on

the part of the private sector to cooperate in congestion alleviation measures. However, the sticker system

was soon discontinued due to management problems.

4) Simulation Model Analysis for Traffic Congestion

The Team developed a traffic simulation model and showed the qualitative effect of measures for

decongestion in the S/C. It is hoped that ChPT and stakeholders will continue efforts to alleviate the

congestion.

5) Effective Utilization of TVT Parking ( Demonstration Trial )

HEP (Harbor entry permit) was issued to trailer drivers at the TVT Parking located along State Highway

114, about 5km north from Port Gate No.1. Utilizing this parking space, required documents for drivers

were pre-checked as a demonstration trial. The area was also used as a waiting space for trailers to

discourage drivers from parking trailers along the road while waiting to enter the port.

6) No Parking along internal Roads and Establishment of Waiting Area(Demonstration Trial)

Parking along internal roads encumbers trailers as they move. Parking has been banned at some road

sections and a waiting area has been set up for trailers to wait inside Chennai Port.

7) Allocation of Traffic Officers (Demonstration Trial)

Congestion at the intersection in Chennai Port was so serious that traffic control was becoming

increasingly necessary. Therefore, traffic officers were allocated at key intersections to give instructions to

drivers inside the port.

8) Additional Gate for empty container trailers at DPW terminal

An additional terminal gate for empty container trailers was set up at the area of the DPW terminal which

used to be for the handling of iron ore. It has streamlined the traffic flow inside Chennai Port and

contributed to alleviating traffic congestion.

9) Pre-Document Check prior to Port entry (Task Force Activity)

Task Force Team was formed at the initiative of Chennai Port Trust to combat traffic congestion. It

consists of ChPT, Terminal Operators and CFS association etc. Before entry to the port, trailer drivers are

subject to a document check by the Task Force. They are not allowed to enter the port until they show the

proper documents.

The Project on Improvement of Chennai Port Operation Final Report

24

10) Promoting Traffic Discipline among Drivers (Task Force Activity)

As one of activities of the Task Force Team, trailer drivers are instructed to keep proper intervals by traffic

officer while forming a line on the road toward Port Gate No.1. The officer patrols the road on a motorbike.

Traffic discipline of drivers is expected to be improved and traffic congestion decreased.

11) Survey of Terminal Gate Operation

With the cooperation of the DPW terminal, the movement of container trailers passing through the

terminal gate was recorded by a camera set up at the entrance in order to grasp the efficiencty of gate

processing. This survey was useful for analyzing the causes of congestion related to the terminal gate and

suggesting measures for alleviation.

12) Incoming Traffic throughput Analysis

The Team analyzed the processing capacity of Port Gate No.1, terminal gates and terminal yards in order

to identify bottlenecks and proposed measures for upgrading the processing capacity to attain the target at

each gate and yard.

13) Continuous Traffic Congestion Survey

The Team conducted a traffic congestion survey outside/inside Chennai Port during every dispatch. The

survey results were utilized to grasp the present situation and examine the outcome of efforts to alleviate

traffic congestion and so on. Findings were fed back to the study activity on improvement of Chennai Port

Operation.

14) Technical Seminar for staff of Chennai Port Trust and CISF

Technical Seminars were held for staff of ChPT and CISF by the Team when the bar-code reading system

was introduced as a demonstration trial. Trainees could learn how to use the bar-code reading system in the

seminar.

15) Introduction of Bar-code Reading System ( Demonstration Trial)

As part of modernization of access control procedures for trailers using IT, the Bar-code reading system

was introduced at the Port Gate No.1

16) Introduction of Web Portal System ( demonstration Trial)

As one of the demonstration trials to alleviate traffic congestion using IT, Web Portal System has been

established to provide congestion information. Everyone can access the information on the number of

trailers passing through the Port Gate No.1 on an hourly basis using the website of ChPT.

17) Introduction of RFID System

ChPT has a plan to introduce an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) System to attach IC tags to

trailers with the cooperation of related organizations. The system aims to increase the efficiency of cargo

The Project on Improvement of Chennai Port Operation Final Report

25

handling management and gate processing by sharing information among ChPT, CFS and terminal

operators etc.

18) Widening and improvement of roads in Chennai Port

The widening and improvement of internal roads have been carried out inside Chennai Port to alleviate

traffic congestion. In addition, the traffic flow has been clearly separated.

19) Expansion of Port Gate No.1

Port Gate No.1 is the only gate for container trailers to enter and exit Chennai Port, but the lane capacity

was insufficient to cope with the number of waiting trailers. Accordingly, ChPT expanded Port Gate No.1

from 4 to 8 lanes.

20) Widening and Improvement of State Highway 114

State highway 114 is the only road connecting to the Port Gate. Widening and improvement works of

Highway 114 are ongoing in order to provide a dedicated lane for container trailers.

21) Development of Approach Road to Port Gate No.1

Insufficient road infrastructure is also one of the causes of traffic congestion. The approach road to Port

Gate No.1 has been widened and improved to improve the traffic flow of trailers.

22) Study on Direction of the Master Plan

The workshop on the master plan was held in ChPT. The Team discussed the direction of the master plan

and stressed the importance of infrastructure projects as well as the need to further alleviate traffic

congestion.

23) Strengthening of Partnership with Tamil Nadu Government

ChPT invited officials of the Tami Nadu Government to attend the S/C. Officers from Traffic Police and

Road section of Tamil Nadu joined the expanded S/C to assist with congestion alleviation efforts.

24) Activity Report of JICA Study

The Team prepared an activity report which details the current state of traffic congestion, analyzes

congestion trends, describes the efforts and outcome of measures to decrease congestion and all other study

activities undertaken at each dispatch. It is submitted to ChPT, JICA etc. ChPT will utilize the results of the

report to take further measures for decongestion.

6) Additional Gate for Empty Trailers at DPW Terminal

The implementation of the new DPW gate specialized for empty trailers in April 2015 was one of the

effective measures for the optimization of trailer flow. Separating the flow of empty trailers from that of

export container trailers has been effective because empty trailers often wait for job orders or proper

documents inside the Port.

However, the trailer flow has not been completely separated because empty trailers were still accepted

at the DPW IN Gate which was meant for export container trailers. Furthermore, the empty trailer flow

and the export trailers flow sometimes crossed at the intersection near the X-Ray inspection area after the

implementation of the new gate. Further optimization of the trailers flow can be achieved if these issues

are addressed and the empty and export container flows are completely separated.

7) Pre-Document Check Prior to Port Entry (Task Force Activity 1)

The pre-document check, which was conducted on the access road toward Port Gate No.1 during the 7th

dispatch, was one of the activities undertaken by the Task Force Team (which consists of ChPT, container

terminals, trucking companies, etc).

These screening activities have somewhat contributed to optimization of trailers flow inside and outside

the Port.

8) Promoting Traffic Discipline among Drivers (Task Force Activity 2)

The Team observed that traffic officers instructed trailer drivers to drive along a lane, keep proper

intervals, etc. during 7th dispatch. The traffic officers were dispatched from trucking companies

organized by ChPT. It was the first attempt for ChPT to organize such a team by themselves. Thanks to

the instructions from officers, situation in which container trailers prevented general vehicles from

proceeding were avoided. Furthermore, together with the restrictions on trailers entering the city area

which have been enforced by the traffic police, the traffic flow along the State Highway 114 has greatly

improved. These activities definitely contribute to optimizing the traffic flow outside the Port.

Although activities undertaken by the task force team were discontinued at the 8th dispatch, the traffic

flow has remained in good condition.

9) Survey on Terminal Gate Operation

Based on the findings from the survey on terminal gate operation during the 6th and 7th dispatch, the

Team proposed the TOR for the operational rules on the entry process of trailers at terminal IN Gates

during the 8th dispatch. If the TOR is fully implemented, the trailer flow in front of DPW IN Gate will

become smoother, which will enhance not only the trailer flow towards terminals inside the Port but also

the whole trailer flow towards the Port.

10) Incoming Traffic Throughput Analysis

The Team studied the relation between the trailer processing capacity among major points in the trailer

flow and the traffic congestion during the 8th dispatch.
