Phase -2 of Gangavaram Port

The port is investing Rs.995 crore to develop four more berths, including a mechanized berth, to handle coal. Three berths will handle multipurpose cargo, which includes liquid cargo for the first time. The port will enhance its capacity from the present 16.5 million ton to

Opportunity for NTPC

Since a Coal Berth is being developed, which can handle Capesize Vessels (1.5 Lakh DWT), NTPC may have a tie up with Gangavaram Port to secure import coal supply. Odissa Government is going to develop 12 Ports, in Public Private Partnership on Build Own Operate mode, NTPC may have a tie up at this stage to secure import coal supply for 5-6 years from now, since port development may take 5-6 years from the date of announcement by Sate Govt.

Opportunity for NTPC

As Master Plan is to develop13 berths with more than 100 MTPA capacity, and 12 MTPA coal transportation is about to start, Opportunity is there to have a tie up to import coal at Talcher, and at NSPCL projects- Durgapur and Rourkela.

Various types of Sea borne trades

Dry Bulk : A bulk carrier is a merchant ship specially designed to transport unpackaged bulk cargo, such as grains, coal, ore, and cement in its cargo holds. Break Bulk: Break bulk cargo handles a great variety of goods that must be loaded individually, and not in intermodal containers nor in bulk as with oil or grain. Liquid bulk: Cargo which is loaded into a ship's hold without being boxed, bagged, or hand stowed, or is transported in large tank spaces. Containerized cargo: Containerization is a system of freight transport based on a range of steel intermodal containers.
