Abstract
Mormugao Port is one of the oldest ports of India. Also it has the advantage
of being a natural port. The Government of India declared it a "Major
Port" in 1963. Port literature reveals a positive relationship between
existence of a port and overall development of the region. Portuguese
navigators founded the sea route to India to expand their commerce and
trade. Historians say the pre-Portuguese trade of Goa was mostly horses,
betel, areca, calico, fine muslin, rice, velvets, satin, damask and items of
china ware, and during the Portuguese rule of 451 years it was spices and a
wide variety of other items. The main objective of the paper is to present
both a historical review of Mormugao Port as well as its contemporary
significance
