CARRIERS diverted ships away as farmers and political protestors blocked roads to Mumbai's Jawaharlal Nehru (Nhava Sheva) port in a battle over late land compensation settlements, successfully closing India's biggest container gateway.
The protest is scheduled to continue through Friday if authorities fail to reach a settlement.
"Protestors have set up blockades on access roads to the port to prevent trucks loading or unloading containers at cargo terminals," local shipping sources said.
The west coast port has three terminals: port-run Jawaharlal Nehru Container Terminal; Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal operated by DP World; and Gateway Terminals operated by APM Terminals, with a combined capacity of more than four million TEU.
