Christened ‘e- thuramugham’,the project integrates the port’s operational, financials, real-estate and human resources systems on an Integrated Port Information System and will provide a real time interface with customs, port users, banks and the port community system of the Indian Ports Association.

Mr. N. Ramachandran, chairman of the Cochin Port Trust, said, “I am extremely happy to see the speedy implementation of e-thuramugham in record time of 10 months. With this, we will be enabled and empowered to closely monitor performance, improve operational efficiency and provide higher standards of service to the shipping and export-import community.”
