The Directorate of Ports has been mandated to undertake allactivities of the Kerala State Government for the developmentof port sector in the State.
The DoP has embarked on an ambitious mission ofdeveloping several green field ports along the Kerala coast
under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. In next 5-7 years, US $ 18 billion likely to be invested in port
sector in India.

Political: The port sector in India is influenced by both, the Central and
the State level.
Cochin International Airport (CIAL), a public company, was setup under the Public Private Partnership mode.
Economic: Keralas economic performance is driven by the secondary
and tertiary sectors(trade, hotels, real estate, transport).
Social : The socio-cultural setup plays a pivotal role in
determining the future business potential of portdevelopment.

Technological: All the major ports and airports are being linked to the
centralized Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Cochin is thefirst port to have successfully launched the concept of ePort.
Legal and Regulatory: Complex/unclear rules & regulations multiple taxes which hascaused huge delays
Environmental: Keralas coastal stretch is having lagoons, kayals, estuaries and
coastal dunes and also has a rich biodiversity and is home tomany exotic species of birds, animal and plants.
Any developmental activities along the coast may pose a threatto the environment in form of soil erosion, pollution, salt-waterintrusion.

Strengths: The Thankassery port is known to have attracted Arabs,
Portuguese, Greeks, Chinese and British for trading. Keralas cashew-nut industry is centered here.Weaknesses: Narrow approach roads.
Labour problemsOpportunities: Development of rail connectivity to attract more cargo. Feeder services to ICTs Government BackingThreats: Inland movement by rail & road New entrant/ Tuticorin port Global economic recession

Geographical setting: Thankassery is situated in Kollam District about 70 km north
of Thiruvananthapuram and 150 km south of Kochi.
The Kollam district is well connected to other parts of Kerala
and India through the NH-47, NH-220 and NH-208. Kollam is an important railhead of the Southern Railways.
Kollam is well-connected through waterways with other partsof Kerala and at the moment does not have direct airconnectivity.
The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited is the major telecom
facilitator in the district. Cellular operators, viz. BPL Mobile, Escotel, AirTel, etc also
operate in the district.

For the development of the port layout from a long termperspective, the major parameters to be looked at are:
1. Site and marine conditions which involve:
Topography Bathymetry
Geotechnical conditions
Marine conditions such as wind, wave and currents
Coastal morphology
Littoral transport Hinterland connectivity
Physical constraints and opportunities

2. Port facility requirements are: Berth requirements Governing vessel size Storage area requirements Requirements of dredging Port craft Navigation aids
3. Criteria for planning involves: Marine operational criteria Tranquility requirements Vessel turning circle Port access channel Deck elevation

The port planning exercise has been divided into the following
phases :Phase 1 To utilize the existing facilities to its fullcapacity. In this regards, the private developer would berequired to augment the existing infrastructure by:
Providing mechanical material handling equipment / cranes
etc Strengthening existing facilities
Facilitating connectivity (with active support of the stategovernment)
Improving the storage requirements
Managing the port operations
Phase 2 When the cargo volumes exceed the capacity ofthe existing infrastructure, a separate wharf is proposedin the port area towards North/East direction.
7/28/2019 DPR _final
11/25
Additional infrastructure in Phase I Considering cargo to be handled in initial years consisting of
containers and bulk / break bulk in non containers, mobilecranes are considered to handle all types of cargo.
It is proposed to increase the deck slab thickness of entirewharf deck, with extension by about 8.00 m towards land.The increase in vertical loads on piles will be marginal andwithin the safe capacity of pile. The capacity of existing wharf
including extension with above strengthening would beutilized to the maximum extent possible
Infrastructure in Phase II To be commissioned by year 2020. A separate wharf of
dimensions 200.0 m long X 20.0 m wide is proposed in the
port area towards North/East direction which will be mainlyfor handling container cargo with higher capacity cranes thanthose considered in Phase I with increase in cargo handlingrate by about 25 to 30%.

1. Tranquility requirements: The existing harbour is a fair-weather, protected from the influence of waves by the twobreak waters and near tranquil conditions exists in theharbour. Therefore no further tranquility aspects arerequired to be considered.
2. Marine operational criteria: The port will be a directberthing port for coastal vessels and ships of size rangingfrom 6,000 DWT to 15,000 DWT. The maneuvering inside
the port area will be done using tugs of required bollardpull which may be between 12 tonnes to 20 tonnes.3. Turning circle: The basin inside the harbour covering an
area of 1250 m by 800 m having a depth of 6.5 m issufficient for turning of the vessels inside the harbour.Therefore no separate turning circle is required to be
provided.4. Storage area levels and berth elevation: As the entire portareas as well as the existing approach roads are at uniformelevation, it is proposed to keep the elevation for entireport complex as well as storage areas at the existingelevation of wharf.

1. Width of channel: Considering the vessel sizecontemplated, the existing width of the entrance channel ismore than adequate (350 m wide).
2. Depth of channel: The depth of channel at present is 6.5meter, which will be increased to -10.0 m if dredging isrequired to be carried out in berthing areas in future forbigger size vessels.
Navigational aids : Considering the width of entrance channeldefined by the breakwaters and the light house , no specialnavigational aids are necessary except the marker buoys fordefining the navigational channel in the centre of entrancechannel and to be further extended in the approachchannel.

Cargo handling equipment : In Phase- 1, the equipmentsfor cargo handling are considered common for both general
cargo, bulk cargo and containerized cargo in the form ofmobile cranes or fixed cranes of 20 tonnes capacity with aradius of about 20 m . For Phase -2, while the facilitiesprovided in Phase -1 will continue to be used on existingwharf. The new container wharf will be provided with
container handling cranes moving on rails with a capacity of25 tonnes at a radius of 25 to 30 m.
Land requirements: The existing land area includingdeveloped land by reclamation works out to about 60 acres
which is considered sufficient for various activities of theports and the storage requirements of Phase 1 and Phase 2with provision for additional requirements in the future.

Planned costs for development of the Thankassery port:Theimmediate focus is to utilize the existing infrastructurecreated by State Government and then invest further,especially in machineries and equipment, to complete theport which can handle the envisaged cargo.

The proposed port at Thankassery shall price its services
competitively in order to provide a cost feasible logisticsgateway to its end customers.
The tariffs so determined are different for coastal vessels andfor foreign going vessels.
The tariffs for containers and general cargo consist of two
major components, namely: Vessel related charges: includes port dues, pilotage charges
and berth hire charges
Cargo related charges: includes:
Handling charges -Between ship and container yardBetween container yard and CFS
Between container yard and truck
