PORTS
AND HARBOURS
The development of ports and harbours
in India has gained momentum over the last few years. Zebec
has contributed to feasibility studies of port development
and upgradation projects for private operators.
Achieving success in any port project is closely related to
"a viable concept" in the first place, in-depth
understanding of operational requirements, the planning and
design of facilities, efficient construction and selection
of the right equipment.
Zebec provides overall planning of major port expansions and
new port development for every conceivable type and purpose
from general cargo ports to container ports, fishing ports,
dry and liquid bulk cargo terminals, and Roll On-Roll Off
(RORO) ferry ports.
Zebec’s

principal developmental phases:
• Business potential and Traffic studies
