IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN

1.1.1 Background An Memorandum of Understanding was signed between DMCC Oil Terminals

(Navlakhi) Ltd, (DOTL) a special purpose vehicle company promoted by Dharmashi

Morarji Chemicals Ltd and the Government of Gujarat during the Vibrant Gujarat

2005 summit for development of Multipurpose jetty at Navlakhi.

Following the signing of agreement DOTL has started the preparatory work for

development of the Multipurpose jetty which will include a multi cargo jetty along with

necessary onshore development in first phase followed by second phase

development.

The scope of this report is to establish a preliminary techno-economic feasibility of

the multi purpose cargo jetty along with a container terminal based on which an in-

principle approval can be received from the Gujarat Maritime Board, Government of

Gujarat.

1.2 History of Navlakhi Port :

Navlakhi is an All weather Intermediate Road stead Port, situated at the head of inner

Gulf of Kutch on the west cost of India. This is the only port in Rajkot district of

Saurashtra under the administrative control of Gujarat Maritime Board. The port is

located at a distance 44 Km (23.75 Nm) North East of Bedi (Minor Port) and

approximately 45 Kms (24.3 Nm) from Kandla Port (Major Port). The existing port is

anchored in Hansthal Creek and situated at the junction of Sui and Versamedi Creek.

The exporting lighterage port consists of various shallow water berthing facilities,

shore structures like storages and transit godowns, platforms and pavings, Broad

gauge Railway line.

The commodities handled at Navlakhi in last 10 years are as under:

Import : Coal, Food Grains, Fertilizers, Fluorspar, Rock Phosphate

Export : Salt, Soya bean, Oil, Rice, Wheat, Agricultural Products.

Presently mainly coal and fluorspar is imported to this port. The cargo is received at

this port by means of barges. Cargo received at the jetty is unloaded into the

dumpers, which is further transported to the destination by rail or road route.

Page 5: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

The existing port limit starts at No. 5 Buoy in Hansthal Creek. Pilot is compulsory for

vessels of more than 9.14m draught, from Tuna to the anchorage. Anchorage can be

obtained approximately 2.3nm WSW of Navlakhi Light and 2 vessels can work at a

time. Depth at anchorage varies between 9.0-12.5m. Lighters can move between

shore and vessel throughout the day. If a third vessel arrives off the port an

anchorage can be found in the vicinity of No. 5 Buoy about 3.5Nm SW of the

lighthouse in depths of 10-12m. Deeper draught vessels of 13.5m can anchor

approx 5.5Nm from the port, with up to 16m draught vessels lightened in the outer

reaches, 29Nm from port.

Vessels load/Unload/Discharge into lighters, with a total capacity of 400t. Lighters

discharge at three quays, total length 300m. Only two vessels can work at the

anchorage at any one time. The port remains closed during the monsoon period from

May to September.

During the cyclonic storm of June 1998, the port was damaged heavily. The existing

structures such as residential buildings and storage godowns were damaged beyond

repairs.

Further during the Earthquake of Jan 2001, the jetties were heavily damaged along

with the Railway line that was rendered useless. Since then a new jetty has been

constructed by GMB and a New Railway line has been laid.

The present handling and storage facility for coal is disorganized in form of irregular

coal dumps. The method of coal handling generates heavy problem of dusting. Also

the present infrastructure is grossly inadequate.

SECTION 2 : SITE CONDITIONS

2.1 GENERAL

The preliminary site for the Jetty location has been selected based on Admiralty

Chart No. 2017. The identified site for the jetty as well as on shore facility is located

west of the existing Navlakhi Port area. Index Plan is enclosed for reference.

2.2 TOPOGRAPHY

The site selected lies toward the west of the Navlakhi port on the west side of Sui creek.

A detailed topography survey or on shore facility was carried out by M/s. Chetan

Engineers where as detailed Hydrographic survey of the off shore site was carried

out by M/s. Elcome Surveys, Mumbai.

2.3 HINTERLAND CONNECTIVITY The crescent shaped Gulf of Kutch is providing favourable locations for deep water

ports.

The physical setup of Gujarat enables it to enjoy the longest coastline in India.

Amongst the coastal states in India, Gujarat is second in number of ports after

Maharastra (Maharastra: 53 ports; 2 major ports) with 40 intermediate and minor 1

major ports.

Gulf of Kutch is blessed with the longest coastline in Gujarat and its typical

geomorphic conditions and many of its creeks provided ample opportunities for

establishment of ports in Gulf of Kutch. Since historic past, ports in Gulf of Kutch are

well known for their trading with Middle Eastern countries and for coastal trade with

Karachi and with other important ports in the sub-continent. Mandvi, Mundra, Jakhau,

Koteshwar, Navlakhi, Bedi, Okha are the minor ports operating in Gulf of Kutch since

distant past.

Kandla was the first modern port established in Kandla creek 90km from the mouth of

Gulf of Kutch. Today, Kandla is the second largest port in the country and is being

developed and managed by the Government of India.

Accessibility to hinterland is an important aspect of development of ports and for their

integrity to regional and national economy. Today Navlakhi port is in privileged to

Page 7: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

being connected to the recently developed highway system in India and possesses a

massive hinterland with 10 states in the western and northern India.

Typical characteristics of hinterland of the port are:

Covers more than 10 states

Covers important urban centers such as Delhi and NCR, Ahmedabad, Bhopal,

Indore, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Amritsar, etc.

Has major portion of the country’s population and is a massive region of mass

production and consumption.

Moreover, there is possibility of diverting traffic from hinterlands of

Maharashtra and Southern ports through ensuring better performances and

connectivity.

Major road connecting the Navlakhi port to their hinterland and status of development

projects on these roads are:

Work for the port link SH 24 from Navlakhi via Morbi to NH 8A been completed

in 2002, which provides basic connectivity between Navlakhi and North and

Central Indian cities and rest of Gujarat.

With the ambitious East-West and North-South Corridor and Golden

Quadrilateral Projects, over all connectivity of Western, Northern and Central

Indian states are going to be improved in an unprecedented way.

Jaipur-Delhi and Udaipur-Ahmedabad portion of the Golden Quadrilateral has

already been completed along with their extensions in Gujarat.

East-West Corridor from Porbandar to Silchar in Assam is under construction.

Within Gujarat there are extensive improvements in connectivity to various

cities within past half a decade, which also goint to play significant role. Halol-

Kalol Expressway, Ahmedabad-Mehsana Toll Road, Ahmedabad-Vadodara

Expressway, etc definitely improves overall connectivity in the region.

Within next five years, it is envisaged that goods from ports in Gulf of Kutch will be

able to travel non-stop in four lane highways to neek and corners of the country.

Moreover, ports in Gulf of Kutch have comparative distance advantages from the

northern Indian states in comparison to other west coast ports. Comparative distance

advantage for the ports in Gulf of Kutch. J & K, HP, Punjab, Haryana has 20 to 30

percent, UP and Uttaranchal has 10 to 20 percent, Ahmedabad almost 50 percent

distance/ cost saving if considered the ports in Gulf of Kutch over Mumbai, JNPT or

Nava Sheva. Rajasthan has easy accessibility to Navlakhi being a neighbouring state

and well connected via national highways. Although the distance from major cities in

Madhya Pradesh to Gulf of Kutch are more in comparison to the same to

Mumbai,JNPT and Nava Sheva, but the port in Gulf of Kutch may be still be

preferable due to increasing congestion in Mumbai, JNPT and Nava Sheva and on

the roads leading to these ports.

Navlakhi is connected to Northern and central Indian states through broad gauge

railway line via Maliya-Miyana-Dhangadhra-Ahmedabad. Moreover conversion of

broad gauge railway line from Wankaner to Navlakhi via Morbi has been completed.

Access to site require a road from the main land.

A Plan showing Road/Railway connectivity is enclosed.

2.6 METEROLOGICAL DATA

2.6.1 TEMPERATURE

Climate is moderate round the year except for the summer which is hot The temperature of

the region varies between 23.4oC to 32.5oC averaged annually. However, the extreme

temperature recordings indicate the highest as 40.3oC and lowest 13.10oC. The period from

March to May is one of continuous rise in temperature, May being the hottest month

normally. The onset of the south-west monsoon by the middle of June lowers the

temperature.

2.6.2 RELATIVE HUMIDITY

During the south-west monsoon season (June to September) the relative humidity is

generally over 60 %. Average monthly percentage relative humidity varies from 73.0 to 52.67

Page 10: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

around the year. During the south-west monsoon season skies are heavily clouded to

overcast on many days. In the rest of the year clear or lightly cloud skies prevail. But on a

days in the winter season skies become cloudy when district is affected by passing western

disturbances across north India.

2.6.3 RAINFALL About 90 % of the annual rainfall is received during south – west monsoon season i.e. from

June to September, July being the month with highest rainfall. The rainfall generally

decreases from the south-east to the north-west. The project site receives about 305 mm of

annual rainfall. Occasional fog occurs during the post-monsoon months and in winter

season.

2.6.4 WIND SPEEDS AND DIRECTION

Winds are generally moderate but in summer and south-west monsoon season they

become stronger. South westerly to westerly winds prevail in the south-west

monsoon season. In October winds are from direction between west and north-east.

In January and February winds are again from directions between west and north-

east. In the summer season the winds are predominantly from directions between

south-west and north-west. In association with cyclonic storms in the Arabian Sea in

the post-monsoon months and to a lesser extent in May and June the district

experiences very strong winds and widespread rain. Thunderstorms occur in all the

months except in February and December, the frequency being more during the

period May to October.

2.7 GEO TECHNICAL CONDITIONS Geo technical surveys were carried out both for on shore structure as well as off

shore structure. The findings of Geo Tech investigation are summarized below.

2.7.1 On Shore The study of the various bore hole logs show that the 1st 3 to 4 meters consists of

very soft marine clay followed by medium stiff marine clay. The above layer is

followed by a very stiff to hard clay with N values >100 and finally below this is

completely weathered sand stone.

2.7.2 Off shore The sub soil condition at Jetty location consists of brownish light clay up to 3 m depth

from Ground Level. The consistency of this clay layer increases from stiff to very stiff

hard at 3m depth. This layer is followed by light brown silty clay up to 10 m depth

followed by weathered sandstone.

2.8 OCEANOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

2.8.1 Current meter observations Current meter observations were carried out at one location Continuously for a

duration of 21 days between 26th Sept and 14th Oct. 1994*. The current meter

Large amount of coal is imported by AEL (Adani Export Ltd.) through large vessels

for cost economics. However, smaller percentage (20.%) is imported by other

importers also.

Page 13: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

GEB and AEC are the two biggest consumers of imported coal accounting for nearly

80% of coal consumed by power plants. Textile plants, chemical units, solvent units

etc. require smaller quantity of coal which is supplied primarily by these small

importers.

Coal handled at Mundra, Kandla and Navlakhi is destined to Rajasthan and Central

Gujarat and accounts for about 30% of the coal traffic

Fertiliser imports are mainly that of Urea, Di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) and

Muriate of Potash (MOP).

Gujarat ports mainly cater the West and North India, as it is more economical than

Paradip.

Iron and Steel import on West coast ports comprises of steel coils (HRC/CRC),

plates, pipes etc. Magdalla is largest iron and steel cargo handling port primarily on

account of import and export of Essar’s cargo. It is seen that the iron and steel traffic

along the West coast is increasing due to strong global demand from China in

particular.

GMB ports (other than Mundra port) at Magdalla and Pipavav handle cargo for Essar

Steel having a captive jetty at Hazira. Kandla port mainly handles steel coils and

pipes, plates and angles. Mundra primarily handles steel plates, import of Saw Pipes.

3.2 DRY BULK CARGO It is seen that total dry bulk traffic along the West Coast port has increased from 28

Mn. M.T in 1997-98 to 56 Mn. M.T in 2004-05. Following table shows the details:

MbPT spurt occurred primarily on account of increased iron and steel exports,

improved economic conditions, government policies etc.

JNPT has recorded continuous reduction in dry bulk traffic since 1999-2000 and is

more focussing on containerised cargo.

Page 14: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

Traffic at Gujarat ports (KPT + GMB ports) has increased significantly over the past

few years primarily due to food grain exports & coal. Gujarat ports account for about

70 – 80% of the dry bulk traffic handled along the West Coast ports.

Total dry bulk traffic along Gujarat ports has increased from 20 Mn. M.T in 1997-98 to

about about 40 Mn. M.T in 2004-05.

Ports such as Mundra, Dahej and GPPL have significantly higher CAGR. This

clearly presents the advantage of deep-water direct berthing ports that offer

customers appreciable cost advantage. It should be noted that Mundra port has

recorded highest growth over the past four years with traffic increasing from a

meagre 150,000 MT in 1999-2000 to over 3 Mn. M.T in 2002-03.

Mundra port is the closest competitor to Navalakhi facility & therefore its facilities & traffic handled is presented in detail in the following. Important features pertaining to other Gujarat ports are given in the TABLE above. 3.5 MUNDRA PORT & TRAFFIC Mundra port is a deep-water direct berthing port with a draft of 17 –18 m alongside

the berth. The high draft alongside the berth at Mundra makes it the deepest draft

port in Gujarat. It has four multi purpose berths ranging from 180 – 270 m with a total

quay length of 895 m. The port is well connected by rail and road to the northern

hinterland and has mechanised conveyor installed for handling various dry bulk

cargo.

The total dry bulk traffic at Mundra port has increased significantly from a meagre

150,000 MT in the year 1998-99 to about 3 Mn. M.T in the year 2002- 03. Mundra

port during the first half of the current financial year has handled over 2 Mn. M.T of

dry bulk cargo. Following TABLE shows the commodity-wise traffic:

Mundra has a wide cargo base & offers direct berthing facility. Coal, food grains and

DOC is imported / exported by Adani Exports Ltd. This attracts cargo. Other users of

port include Saw Pipes, Welspun, Ashapura Minchem, IFFCO, Cargill, Sanghi

Cement etc.

Iron and Steel Products (including scrap), food grains and coal are the three

major commodities accounting for more than half the total traffic handled at the

Gujarat Ports.

Iron and Steel Traffic (including scrap) is increasing at a CAGR of 3% p.a. although

trend has been cyclical. Spurt in iron and steel exports is due to increased global

demand (from China in particular) and also increased domestic demand from various

segments such as infrastructure, construction, pipeline projects, etc.

Food grains, (wheat and bagged rice) although dependent largely on government

policies and rainfall, witnessed an overall growth of 29% p.a. This is primarily on

account of government policy to offload excess food grain stock to the traders for

export at internationally competitive rate.

Coal cargo has also witnessed strong growth primarily on account of advantage of

imported coal in terms of high calorific value (6000 – 6500 Kcal / Kg) compared to

domestic coal of 4000 – 4500 Kcal / Kg and low ash content.

Page 17: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

DOC industry witnessed a downfall in exports on account of low rainfall in the year

2002-03 in M.P., the largest DOC exporting belt. This coupled with increased

domestic consumption has reduced the DOC exports substantially. However, good

rainfall in the current year is likely to spurt the DOC exports from the country.

Dry FRM (Fertiliser Raw Material) traffic along West Coast has reduced on account

of increased domestic availability. Rock Phosphate from Rajas than State Mines and

Minerals Ltd. and Sulphur from Reliance Refinery has reduced imports significantly.

Fertilisers also similarly witnessed a reduction in traffic on account of reduction in

DAP imports. This is attributed to commissioning of Oswal Chemicals and Fertilisers

plant at Paradeep and low rainfall in the last year. However, North and Western India

still rely on imported fertilisers for meeting its requirement.

Timber cargo has grown at a significantly over the past few years on account of strict

measures taken by government on cutting the trees coupled with increased demand. 3.6 POTENTIAL FORECAST IN NAVALAKHI/MUNDRA HINTERLAND

In the Dry bulk commodities the major quantity is contributed by coal alone. The

requirement of coal presented in the Table is primarily the demand that is envisaged

by potential users in the north west inter land, viz- Power Plants, Fertilizer Units and

Cement Industries. The future requirement is also projected based on the

discussions with the agencies.

RSEB 1000 PSEB 1800 NFL 1000 Total Potential (Existing + New Shippers)

20087

Apart from the existing users, there are few other users of imported coal such as

Rajasthan State Electricity Board (RSEB), Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB) and

National Fertilisers Ltd. (NFL), which are likely to use imported coal for their plants

located in Northern India. It is estimated that PSEB is to start imports of about 1.8

Mn. M.T in the near future.

All these users being a large consumer of coal are most likely to prefer port with

direct berthing facility, mechanised handling & linkages availability.

Thus the total potential (existing + new shippers) for Mundra/Navalakhi region port is estimated to increase from 18 Mn. M.T in the year 2002 – 03 to 24 Mn. M.T in the year 2013 –14. SEE ANNEXURE 1 for proportion shift to MUNDRA/NAVAKHI

It is also seen that the commodity mix is dominated by coal, iron and steel products

and ores and concentrates which are together estimated to account for about 60% of

the likely traffic. Food grain traffic, which is likely to account for a larger share of likely

traffic in the initial years, is estimated to loose its share towards the terminal year on

account of reducing potential.

3.7 CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS FOR THE PROJECT:

Aggressive marketing of port facilities and advantages to the shipping

community including shippers, C & F agents, etc.

Availability of rakes: Cargo build up for commodities such as bagged rice,

wheat, DOC etc. is a common phenomenon in the trade. As most of this cargo

moves by rake easy availability and faster turnaround of the rakes will be

essential for realization of the forecasted volumes.

Marketing to shippers

Capacity and infrastructure build up in line with the market forecast.

Government policies will also play an important role in realization of the likely

traffic as food grain traffic is primarily dependent on it.

Page 19: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

Competitive rates to the shippers in order to attract forecasted volumes.

Shippers generally express their concern over contamination of cargo (food

grains in particular) with fertilizers and FRM. Hence, due care would be

required to convince new users of port to shift the cargo.

SUMMING UP Following are the key factors affecting the choice of port for coal imports

Logistics costs - Shipping and inland transportation costs

Perception of importers about ports

Relationship between importers and the ports

Share of captive cargo in ports potential traffic

Logistics and operational bottlenecks

Switching cost and time

Promotion and marketing strategy adopted by the ports

3.8 ASSESSMENT OF CONTAINER TRAFFIC

Preliminary assessment of future container growth & its expected share in the

Mundra/Navalakhi hinterland is presented based on the recent available data source.

In order to establish a rationale to apportion container traffic in the proposed facility

hinterland, the existing competing ports with their capacities & constraints are

understood. KPT, Mundra, GPPL & JNPT are the potential operators on the west

coast with established infrastructure network. Following TABLE gives the competitive

features:

Over the last decade JNPT became the key container port for North – Western India,

thus

- The single largest container ports accounts for 75 – 80 % of West Coast container traffic

Coming up of Mundra and Pipavav offered new alternatives

Mundra has emerged as a stronger alternative to JNPT – Traffic more than tripled in just second year of operation.

It is seen that, geographically, Mundra/Navalakhi has logistic advantage over other

ports by virtue of availability of BG rail & good road connection to hinterland.

Navigation/nautical features are more or less comparable to Mundra. Mundra port at

container location completed significant capital dredging & envisages doing

maintenance dredging at regular interval to secure advantage over KPT & remain

competitive with JNPT.

Over the last decade, JNPT became a important port in serving the North-west India.

With the development of Mundra, the traffic balance shifted as it has recorded

successively growing throughput. It shows that the location has potential to attract

shipping lines. Even KPT recorded 19% growth with its minimum handling facility &

nautical constraints. Navalakhi, presents encouraging features to develop such

facility.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PLANS OF COMPETING PORTS

Kandla envisage to commission 2nd terminal by 2008-09 & deepening the channel

further to accommodate main line vessels.

GPPL is constructing 300 m long berth & plan to install post-panamax RMQC by

2007.

Mundra is planning to augment the capacity by constructing over 550 m quay &

install post panamax cranes to handle main line vessels. With this the planned

capacity would be approximately 2.4 million TEU.

Planned capacity of JNPT and Mumbai port is expected to be about 5 million

and 1.2 million TEU per annum.

CARGO BELTS

Page 22: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

Following figure shows the cargo belts for the Mundra/Navalakhi.

It is seen that there is a clear logistic advantage to serve the hinterland.

CARGO POTENTIAL & IMPORTANT FINDINGS

Growth for Import/Export is projected at 14% till 2015-16

Transhipment/coastal traffic from this region is likely to grow up to 650,000

TEU

Other international transhipment is also expected but needs to be studied in

detail.

Gujarat ports are expected to handle 1.3 million TEU & 3.7 million TEU by

2009-10 & 2015-16 respectively.

Likely overflow to Navalakhi region due to capacity constraints at other ports

is expected at 350,000 TEU to 600,000 TEU.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS

The above statistical fiigures are the potential & the realization of which depends on

following factors;

Availability of shipping lines & frequency

Evacuation by rail/road

CFS facility

Direct berthing & efficient cargo handling infrastructure

Competitive tariff

Marketing efforts

Page 23: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

SECTION 4: CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

4.1 INTRODUCTION The development plan presented in the following is based on the preliminary site

data available at this time & the project requirements. Competitive considerations,

industry practice, structural & equipment cost, operational possibilities & long-term

tenability are the key parameters underlying the formulation of development plan. It is

important to note that as project development proceeds & more clarity to above

parameters comes, this can be updated further.

4.2 FORMULATION OF CONCEPT Following few important boundary conditions are evaluated during the formulation of

concept;

Site characteristics

Support infrastructure

Realization of potential projected cargo &

Shipping trends

4.2.1 Site Characteristic The proposed berths are to be located near the Navalakhi anchorage within the

Hansthal creek. The available water depth is 10.0 to 10.5 m. The shoreline is marked

by a MUD FLAT followed by a virgin back up land. The mud flat is about 1300.0 m

long beyond which the deeper water is available at about 1700 m distance where the

depth of water is 10.5m.

Coastal morphological features-erosion or accretions have not been recorded in

the past & therefore the water depths & distances given above have been adopted at

present for concept development. However, these need to be investigated

during/before DPR stage.

Based on this, a piled berthing structure with shore-connected trestle is preferred.

This will have minimum impact on current & morphological regime.

At present the navigation channel leading to Navlakhi is not marked on the

hydrographic charts being used by shippers. However, it is seen from the survey data

Page 24: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

that the depths below CD varies from 6.5 m to 11.5 m. Average tidal variation is of

the order of 4.0 m considering neap tides.

Therefore, for no dredging scenario, the vessel size would be limited to HANDYSIZE. For Handymax & PANAMAX vessels dredging would be necessary. Actual alignment

of channel & dredging requirements would be finalized after completing the model

studies for navigation by an expert agency.

The jetty location is well protected from cyclonic storms; however it is exposed to

local fetch generated waves. Measured wave data at location is not available. This

study needs to be taken up during DPR stage.

The current pattern flows about N-S direction with maximum velocity in the range of

1m/s to 1.9 m/s. This will flow head-on. For navigation purposes TUG assistance

would be necessary, however, this will be studied in the model.

4.2.2 Support Infrastructure The proposed site is well connected by rail & road. These forms significant assets to

our proposal of development plan.

Water & power requirements would be met by the nearest existing ‘tapping points’ as

mentioned in the earlier section.

4.2.3 Cargo Potential

An approximate assessment of cargo likely to flow through Navalakhi region is

presented in ‘section 3’. The traffic volumes used for the planning purpose are

presented in the following assuming a % shift rationale. It is possible that certain

subjectivity may occur in these projection which may have to corrected during DPR

stage;

Traffic volume up to horizon year 2025-30 is capped as above for planning purposes.

To accommodate this likely variation in traffic in the long term, phase-wise

development of proposed facility is suggested to optimize the financial investment.

Realization of cargo depends upon numerous factors as stated in the traffic forecast.

Market forces & efficiency of operations are, however, the key parameters. The

business plan is therefore is a ‘rolling activity’ needs to be continuously tailored to

such things.

4.2.4 Shipping Trends

The shipping trend is governed by the overall economics of logistics & depends on

international situation, particularly for coal. The following ship sizes have been

judiciously chosen based on the present & expected trends in the industry.

4.3 DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The proposed development plan has been prepared taking in to consideration the

site features, navigational possibilities, cargo ram-up & investment consequences. To

achieve this, therefore, phasing of facilities is necessary. Initial phase to commence

with is termed as phase-1 & phase 1A would commence when cargo demands

additional capacity.

Page 26: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

4.3.1 Berthing & operation facility In the initial period (phase-1) the berths will be created for Handy size vessels, which

do not require any dredging.

* The Berthing facility has been judiciously decided into northern part

which will be the export facility whereas the southern part where will be an import

facility. A brief description of the same is as under.

A) Import facility dry bulk This will cater to the needs of coal, fertilizer & FRM.

i) Berth & Operational aspect: phase-1 Taking in to consideration the mooring & cargo handling requirements, the berth size

of 205m long & 30.0 m wide is proposed. This can meet effectively the projected

throughput requirements of Phase-1.

Mobile cranes of suitable capacity, preferably GOTTWALD type, are suitable for

reasons of flexibility. Two cranes each with a capacity of 13,000-14,000 T per day

can handle coal requirements. For Fertilizer/FRM the rate required is slightly lower.

These rates have been achieved at leading ports dealing with similar cargo.

To achieve operational efficiency, the cargo shall be moved to stack yard by

mechanized closed conveyor belt system. However, a hopper & truck system for

some period may also be adopted till mechanized system is in place.

A mechanized conveyor belt with steel chord & having a capacity of 1500-2000 TPH

can effectively meet the handling system & cargo requirements. Possibility of

installing grab unloader needs to be ascertained closely depending on shipping

pattern & cargo growth.

ii) Berth & Operational aspect Phase-1A

Phase 1A will be governed by the cost-economics of dredging cost of channel,

installation of grab unloader vis-à-vis the expected cargo potential at that time.

If these situation favors, then the channel shall be dredged to facilitate PANAMAX

navigation using tide. This would require total water depth of 15.0 m in the channel at

the berth.

Page 27: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

Berthing facility To accommodate Panamax for effective cargo handling, it is suggested to extend the

berth by 30.0 m & provide mooring dolphin to balance mooring forces. This is an

optimum length & saves cost.

Decision to build entire 235 long; 30 m wide berth with dolphin right in the beginning

may be firmed up during DPR stage.

Operational aspect phase-1A

At this stage it is proposed to install TWO GRAB unloaders with a combined capacity

of 40,000 TPD & a matching conveyor belt system. It means, additional conveyor

system of 2000 TPH would be necessary to cope up with the unloading rate. With

this the berth capacity would eventually become approximately 7 to 7.5 million TPA.

Export facility This will cater to the needs of cargo throughput- iron, steel, scrap, Foodgrain &

containerized cargo to partial extent. DOC has not been considered as its quantum

is highly fluctuating & existing facilities are capable of handling DOC needs.

i) Berth & Operational aspects – Phase 1

Taking in to consideration the mooring & cargo handling requirements, the berth size

of 205m long & 41.0 m wide is proposed. This can meet effectively the projected

throughput requirements of phase-1. However, the container requirement is partially

met in terms of berth capacity using mobile cranes.

The width of berth proposed can accommodate mobile cranes & truck/trailer

movements. Keeping operational flexibility & future augmentation of equipments for

container handling, a provision for Rail Mounted Quay Crane with a rail spacing of

20.0 m is built in.

In phase 1 to start with, Gottwald type mobile crane would offer flexibility of handling

mixed cargo. It is anticipated that foodgrain would be exported in bagged form. Two

Page 28: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

such cranes are considered adequate to meet phase I throughput demands.

However, with the remaining available capacity, it is assessed that the container

cargo to the extent of 50,000 TEU can only be moved. When this stage is reached,

the phase 1A implementation becomes due.

The movement of cargo from stack yard to berth shall be done by truck/trailers.

ii) Berth & Operational aspects – Phase 1A Magnitude & extent of phase 1B augmentation would depend entirely on the way

cargo growth is anticipated at that time. Container growth is expected, therefore

taking in to account a moderate scenario the following phase 1A expansion is

proposed.

Utilize the phase I facility of berth for non-container general cargo to meet the

projected throughput demand. Extend Berth No 2 by 170.0 m with a dolphin to

accommodate HANDYSIZE container vessel.

This will facilitate berthing of two handy size vessels on berth no-2 with a total berth

length of 375.0 m

The extended berth will have TWO rail mounted quay cranes to achieve the

container traffic. Although transporting containers from berth to stack yard for a long

haulage is not common, still nonetheless manageable with logistics arrangement.

4.4 Structural & Functional design aspects of Berths The berthing scheme envisaged above takes in to account the required flexibility to

augment the facility functionally viz- provision for conveyor facility, grab unloader/ rail

mounted cranes etc. The structure shall be designed right in the beginning for the

envisaged ship sizes to allow extension in future.

4.5 Approach Trestle

The approach trestle leading to stack yard will have two lanes & provision for

conveyor corridor.

4.6 Navigation Aids Necessary lateral marks as per IALA shall be installed on the berth.

Page 29: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

4.7 Development of Back-up Yard The area available for storage is located about 2 km away from the terminal on a

virgin land. This is about 100.0 acres. Also about 32 acres of land is available on the

Navlakhi Island. Further about 30 acres of additional land will be required to be

acquired on Navlakhi Island.

It is proposed to connect the island with terminal by a bridge accommodating road

and conveyor.

Looking at the above situation the proposed zoning of stack yard is laid out. This is

as shown in the drawings. This is preliminary layout would need to be detailed during

DPR stage. The objective is to present the logistic arrangement which is feasible &

efficient.

The area available on the Navlakhi Island and further area to be acquired in Phase -I

will be used for Coal Stacking, Container cargo, Fertilizer and FRM and any other

import or export cargo required to be stored. It will also house the gate complex,

Administration Building, Guest House, Canteen, Dispensary, Fire Station and space

for utilities.

The 100 acres of land available on mud flat is proposed to be developed in phase -

1A where it is also proposed to bring the Railway line to the area. However these will

be decided based on the actual development of the port. The objective is to present

the utility of this piece of area as a value addition to the business plan.

Storage for various commodities expect as planned as mentioned below :

i) COAL Coal is stored in open yard & will have suitable train & truck loading points. In the

fully mechanized system, set of stacker/reclaimers, closed conveyor belt of suitable

capacity leading to loading points is envisaged. In phase 1, conventional methods

can also be deployed. Till rail facility at the yard becomes available, trucks do

movement.

A sprinkling system will be provided along the conveyer path as well as at the stack

yards for dust suppression. 5 m Height compound boundary wall will be constructed

along the coal stacking yards. The stack yard will have a WBM base.

Areas required for storage depends on various factors viz- ship parcel size, dwell

time etc. Industry practice is followed.

Page 30: DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. - Gujarat …gpcb.gov.in/pdf/DMCC_OIL_TERMINAL_EIA_ANNEX_PART_5.pdf · DMCC OIL TERMINALS (NAVLAKHI) LTD. PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

ii) Fertilizer & FRM This will be stored in a shed with bagging facility. Cargo will reach by conveyor belt to

shed. For further dispatch of cargo, conventional methods may be used.

iii) Food grain This will be stored in a Silo/shed. Necessary bagging facility, if needed, shall be

provided in case cargo arrives in bulk. Conventional methods will be generally used

to load the cargo to trucks.

iv) General cargo

Separate area will be allotted for open storage of pipes, plates & coils in phase 1A.

However, a common open storage area is proposed in phase 1.

v) Containers

Storage planning for container requires detailed analysis as it depends on many

factors.

In Phase 1 about 400 ground slots will be accommodated at the facility with 2 to 3

height and necessary equipment will be provided to for the same.

In phase 1A, 10 days dwell time, area has been allotted for about 2700 ground slots

& necessary appurtenances.

Initially, fork lift & reach stackers may be used at yard. When cargo growth demands,

RTG may be deployed with necessary rail loading equipments. Such operational

requirements & capital investment can be detailed during DPR stage.

4.8 Environmental aspects Based on the EIA, environmental management & mitigation plans shall be worked

out.

Cargo operations will take care of environmental norms, particularly coal handling.

Extensive network for water spraying to suppress dust emissions will be

implemented. Adequate green belt is planned to maintain the environment clean.

i) Illumination of Coal Stack

ii) General Area Lighting

iii) Street Lighting

i) Illumination of Coal Stack: For proper illumination of coal stack and to facilitate easy loading and unloading

operations in the stack-yard it is suggested to provide Flood Lights. Flood lights of

height of 12m post with 250 W HPSV lamps (Flood Lights) may be provided at

centers and corners of each side of the stack-yard Thus in each stack-yard 8 nos. of

Flood lights may be placed along the periphery.

ii) General Area Lighting: General area lighting is provided for illumination of the overall area of port premises

in order to facilitate over all movement of trucks, Railway activities, stack-yard activity

and activities at Jetty etc. Lighting Mast of 30 m height are proposed with 400 W

HPSV Lamps to cover area along all four sides of the mast.

iii) Street Area :

Street lighting is provided along the roadside of illumination of Roads and easy

movement of traffic along roads. Street lights of 70 W HPSV lamps are proposed to

be provided along the periphery of road side at 30 meters c/c with a pole height of 9

mtrs.

Water Supply It is estimated that theTotal daily water requirement will be 5 lacs liter. The source of

water will be the Pipe Line being laid by GWSSB from Dahisar.

Storm Water Drainage i) Area Grading :

The open area will be graded in such a way that the storm water will get

directly discharged into the sea.

Only the pockets of land enclosed around will be taken care of while designing

the Storm Water Drainage System along with the Stack-yards.

The Drainage system will run parallel to the main road network.

It is proposed to have two disposal points for storm water drainage system

Catch pits will be provided which are connected to the manholes

approximately 30 m c/c distance along the SWD line.

Garden & Green Belt :

It is proposed to provide a Green belt area in the premises for mitigating the pollution

and from good aesthetic point of view. It is proposed to have :

Tree Plantation along the periphery of the entire Port premises

Green Belt area in front of Administrative Building

Tree Plantation along the periphery of coal stacks to prevent dusting problem
