- El Puerto de Calcuta (en bengalí: কলকাতা বন্দর) es un puerto fluvial en la ciudad de Calcuta, India, que se encuentra a 203 kilómetros del mar, a orillas de la ciudad del mismo nombre. Es el puerto más antiguo que opera en la India, y fue construido por la Compañía Británica de la Indias Orientales. El puerto cuenta con dos sistemas de muelle distintos. Muelles en Calcuta y un muelle de aguas profundas en el complejo de Haldia. En el siglo XIX fue el puerto más importante en la India británica. Después de la independencia su importancia disminuyó a causa de varios factores, incluyendo la partición de Bengala (1947), la reducción del tamaño de la zona de influencia del puerto y el estancamiento económico en el este de la India.

- Port of Kolkata or Kolkata Port, officially known as Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port Trust (formerly Kolkata Port Trust), is the only riverine major port of India, located in the city of Kolkata, West Bengal, around 203 kilometres (126 mi) from the sea. It is the oldest operating port in India and was constructed by the British East India Company. Kolkata is a freshwater port with no variation in salinity. The port has two distinct dock systems — Kolkata Dock at Kolkata and a deep water dock at Haldia Dock Complex, Haldia. In the 19th century, the Kolkata Port was the premier port in British India. After slavery was abolished in 1833, there was a high demand for labourers on sugar cane plantations in the British Empire. From 1838 to 1917, the British used this port to ship off over half a million Indians from all over India — mostly from the Hindi Belt (especially Bhojpur and Awadh) — and take them to places across the world, such as Mauritius, Fiji, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, and other Caribbean islands as indentured labourers. There are millions of Indo-Mauritians, Indo-Fijians, and Indo-Caribbean people in the world today. After independence, the port's importance decreased because of factors including the Partition of Bengal (1947), reduction in the size of the port hinterland, and economic stagnation in eastern India. It has a vast hinterland comprising the entire North East of India including West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, North East Hill States and two landlocked neighbouring countries namely, Nepal and Bhutan and also the Autonomous Region of Tibet (China). With the turn of the 21st century, the volume of throughput has again started increasing steadily. As of March 2018, the port is capable of processing annually 650,000 containers, mostly from Nepal, Bhutan, and India's northeastern states. (en)
