Mr. Bimal Kumar Jha, Chairperson i/c., VOCPA, welcomed the gathering and in his address, stated that the thought process to rebrand and introduce a new logo was conceived when V.O.Chidambaranar Port Trust was renamed as V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority on January 31, 2022. The ideology to rebrand was also driven by evolving business objectives, expanding markets and the desire for a mix of heritage and modern image. He also stated that this change aligns perfectly with our mission to become a Hub Port of the Country.
Earlier, V.O. Chidambaranar Port had announced a competition for redesigning the Port logo. There was an overwhelming response to the competition, wherein more than 100 entries were received.
The new logo unveiled was conceptualized by Mr. Rajendra R. Ranjane, from Mumbai and developed by the Port team. As announced, he would be awarded an attractive cash prize of Rs. 50,000/-.
