Kolkata Port unveils new logo completes 150-yr celebrations

    Kolkata, Oct 17 (PTI) The Kolkata Port Trust,
rechristened as the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port (SMP), on
Saturday unveiled a fresh logo which will go with the new
name.
    Port chairman Vinit Kumar launched the new logo at the
closing ceremony of its 150-year celebrations held at Belur
Math, the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission.
    "The graphic shows a sailing vessel to indicate the
age and two shades of blue, a colour that signifies the oceans
to establish the logo as that of a port," the SMP said in a
statement.
    "The graphic in its entirety communicates a smart and
contemporary image of Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata
mirroring its modern infrastructure and dynamic service
ethos," Kumar said in his address.
    Prime Minister Narendra Modi in January rechristened
Kolkata Port Trust after Jan Sangh founder Syama Prasad
Mookerjee who was also an eminent jurist, academician and a
thinker.
    The closing ceremony of the port's sesquicentennial
celebration was held in a low-key manner and the attendance
was kept small in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, officials
said.
