06 Oct 2025 CW Team

Mormugao Port in Goa has been declared the first accredited green port in India under the Green Port Certification Programme, the Mormugao Port Authority (MPA) chairman N Vinodkumar announced ahead of India Maritime Week 2025. The accreditation was granted by the Centre of Excellence on ESG and Circularity, Mumbai, and Mormugao is among three ports selected by the World Bank for greening initiatives.

The port, which earlier offered incentives to vessels based on Environment Ship Index (ESI) scores, has operationalised a 3MW solar power plant, with plans to expand to 5MW, in partnership with GEDA.

Vinodkumar said Mormugao is moving towards smart ports, introducing 5G communication technologies and adopting indigenous vessel traffic management systems for safer navigation. Seven of India’s 12 major ports are already using the locally developed software, replacing foreign systems.

The port’s initiatives align with global efforts to reduce emissions in shipping and modernise India’s maritime infrastructure ahead of India Maritime Week in Mumbai from 27–31 October.
