Chennai is not an island riverine port.
Instead, it is a container port in India which works as a commercial port of India. It is strongly tied to export and import trade and adds to India's economy. The riverine ports are those ports which are situated on the riverfront. The riverine ports are ordinarily alluded to as inland ports, and these are generally an augmentation of ocean ports.
