It may be noted here that the container traffic at NMPT has steadily increased from less than 2000 TEUs handled in 2000 to 1.5 lakh TEUS that it handled in 2020-21. So far these containers were handled at various general cargo berths of the Port. 

Anticipating the increase in container handling, the port has awarded the work of mechanisation of container handling at an exclusively deep draft berth - berth number 14 to M/s Mangalore Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd. (JSW) on the PPP model. This is expected to foster the growth of container traffic at the Port in the coming years.

He is also hopeful about a surge in the container traffic at the Port in the coming days.

If you observe around 5pm, you will notice a small tiny shining dot very close to the Moon. This is Mars, the red planet. Within a few minutes, the red planet will disappear all of a sudden and appear nowhere in the sky. This is the Lunar occultation of Mars which will be visible for the people of India only.  The moon moves across the sky each night. Being close to the earth, it covers half a degree width in the sky. On this path, there are rare occasions when the moon passes in front of a star and cause occultation which is like a total solar eclipse when the moon covers the object completely and the object disappears for 1-1/2-hours as the moon makes its way across the sky.
