That’s a tricky set of questions about the Environmental Ship Index and its application in Indian ports! I remember discussing similar sustainability topics recently on the Football Bros forum, where you can find interesting perspectives and updates. Good luck with your quiz prep—details like these are essential for cracking prelims!

That's a tough quiz! I always struggle with remembering specific details like which port was first. Environmental regulations in shipping are so important though. I should probably spend more time focusing on these topics. When I need a brain break after studying, I sometimes play Slope Game to de-stress – it's surprisingly engaging and requires focus, just in a different way. Helps clear my head!
