Essar Ports Paradip Coal Berth receives final MOEF approval

12 Jul 2012 Evaluate

Essar Port’s Paradip Coal Berth has received the final environmental and forest approval. Paradip Port Trust has received Ministry of Environment & Forest (MOEF) approval for the All Weather Deep Draft Coal Berth which had been awarded to Essar Ports on Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis on a 30 year concession. The company has now received formal intimation from Paradip Port Trust to commence mobilization towards construction activities.

Essar Ports will build a mechanized berth of 370m length which will be one of the most advanced port facilities of its type in India. This would give the facility an effective handling capability of 14 to 18 million tons per annum.

This project is a part of Paradip Port Trust's plans towards mechanization of coal imports. Last year, Paradip Port Trust handled approximately 12 MMT of imported coal. As per the concession, this volume, along with any incremental volume, will shift to the mechanized berth which would be built by Essar Ports.

Essar Ports is one of the largest port companies of India, currently operates 88 MMTPA of port capacity between Vadinar and Hazira. The company is expanding its total capacity to 158 MMTPA by 2014. The Deep Draft Coal Berth at Paradip is expected to add 14 to 18 MMTPA of third party cargo volumes to Essar Ports.
