KOLKATA : Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata (SMPK), one of India’s oldest major riverine ports, launched night navigation capabilities on Saturday (May 3, 2025) first time in history, in the upper reaches of West Bengal’s Hooghly River, covering the stretch from Budge Budge to the Bay of Bengal.
This development is expected to significantly boost port efficiency and trade volume by allowing more vessels to enter and leave the port daily. Early Saturday morning, SMPK authorities operationalised the system with the successful maiden nighttime transit . . .
