Chennai Port Trust Centenary Building

Chennai Port Trust Centenary Building, Port administration building in Chennai, India

The Chennai Port Trust Centenary Building stands as a 12-story structure with a large radar dome installed on its rooftop for weather monitoring.

The building was established in 1997 to mark 100 years of service by the Madras Harbour, which later became known as Chennai Port.

The structure incorporates maritime-themed decorative elements throughout its architecture, reflecting the deep connection between Chennai and its seafaring traditions.

Located near Fort St. George, the building houses administrative offices and the Port Met Office, with Chennai Beach railway station within 500 meters.

The building features an 18-tonne radar system that scans atmospheric conditions within a 500-kilometer radius, providing data for storm warnings and aircraft operations.
