| Gopalpur Port Ltd has planned the installation of state-of-the-art
material handling equipment at berths. These include grab unloaders, loaders, mobile harbour cranes and conveyors. This
cargo handling equipment shall enable Gopalpur Port to achieve one
of the highest loading rates in India. The port aims to achieve
handling rates of 40,000 TPD for coal and 60,000 TPD for iron ore. |
| |
| Gopalpur Port will have adequate stack yard space for storage an
iron ore stack yard of 300,000 ton capacity and coal stack yard of
600,000 ton capacity have been planned, with provision for
upgradation as per the traffic growth. Besides the open stack yards,
there will be 15 covered sheds with a total area of 12,000 sq. m. for
storage of break bulk cargoes. |
| |
| Quick evacuation of the cargo would be through a two-lane road
upgradeable to eight lanes in future connecting national highway
NH-5 six kilometers away. An effective rail network within the port
shall enable faster evacuation of cargo. Both the rail and road corridor
within the port are being planned in a dedicated corridor that will run
adjacent and parallel to the stack yards behind the berths. |
| |
|
All these facilities will be controlled through management practices
that will match international standards. The port would also meet
international environment protection and safety norms. The
professional management of the port will ensure that the best
systems and processes are used for the operation and administration
of the facilities. An enterprise wide ERP will enable smooth
communication flow and real-time monitoring of the facilities and
vessels. |
