| (A.) BURMAH SHELL WHARF |
|
| |
| |
1. Length of the Wharf |
: 100 Mts. |
| 2. Year of Construction |
: Not known (Appx. 50 years back) |
| 3. Type of Construction |
: Design particulars not known, R.C.C. piled structures with hard surfaced backup area. |
| 4. Status of Wharf |
: Manual operations |
| 5. Type of cargo handled |
: Exports (baggage):- Rice,Wheat, Maize, Rice bran, Cement, Soya beans, Sugar,
|
6. Present pattern of allotment Wharf to shippers
|
: Allotment is based on first come first serve.
|
| 7. Problems in Mechanical |
: Due to pressure from shippers handling Mechanical handling was permitted since 1995 by placing steel plates underneath the proclainers for uniform distribution of load up to safe limits. Inspite of all precautions, the area adjacent towharf sunk by about 40Cms. Hence, Mechanical operations stopped and at present manual operations are going on. |
8. Extent of availability of stacking area behind the Wharf
|
: 3,000 Sq.Mts. of hard surfaced area. |
| 9. No. of barges can be andled on this Wharf |
: 3 Barges of 400 T. capacity can be handled simultaneously. |
10. Rate of handling - manual
|
: 10 Hours/barge of 400 T. |
11. How to improve the efficiency
|
: The wharf is used at present for export cargo by manual means. For using the wharf for import cargo, the wharf is to be strengthenedand following measures are to be dopted for mproving cargo fficiency.
- By Introducing Mechanical operations.
- By Constructing five loading platforms of size 32 Mts. x 8 Mts. each.
- By Increasing the backup area for stacking the cargo.
If import cargo is permitted the following cargo can be handled :
Urea,DAP
(Diammonium Phosphate), MOP (Murate of Potash), Industrial Salt, Rock Phosphate.
|
| (B). NEW PORT AREA WHARF |
|
| |
| |
1. Length of the Wharf |
: 613 Mts. |
| 2. Year of Construction |
: The Wharf Constructed in different spells starting from 1970 to 1985 as a part of development scheme under plan grant.
|
| 3. Type of Construction |
: The Construction of Wharf comprised driving of continuous RCC interlocking sheet piles driven upto (-) 8.95 Mts. These piles have been anchored by means of anchor piles. The area behind the Wharf is filled up with the sea sand, gravel and hard surfaced at the top.
|
| 4. Status of Wharf |
: The Wharf is designed to take a surcharge load of 2 T./M². and thereby its usage is restricted to the manual operations upto 14 Mts. Behind the Wharf. Rest of the area in between the Railway siding and Wharf is to be used for movement of trucks.
|
| 5. Type of cargo handled |
: (a) Exports (By Manual) Rice, Maize, Rice bran, Cement, WheaT, Soya bean. At loading platform – Sand.
(b) Imports - At loading Platforms Urea, MOP ( Murate of Potash) Rock Phosphate, Industrial Salt DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) Potassium Chloride.
|
6. Present pattern of allotment of Wharf to shippers
|
: Based on the availability, on first come first serve basis, and as per shippers requirement. |
7. Problems in Mechanical handling
|
: As the 14 M. long backup areabehind the wall could not take the load beyond 2 T/M²., the facility is restricted to manual operations only nd the proclainers are not permitted because of its limitations to operate heavy machines on it. To overcome this difficulty and to increase the rate of handling the argo by mechanical means, three umber of platforms were onstructed during 12/2002 pposite to T-Sheds A, B & C long the Wharf Wall in New Port rea. |
8. Stacking area behind the Wharf
|
: Stacking of any materials are not allowed behind the Wharf up to 14 Mts. Beyond 14 Mts. the area available is being used for plying of lorries for loading and unloading of cargo to barges as well as to railway wagons and Transit sheds.
|
9. No. of barges can be loading handled on thisWharf
|
: In the area available for three platforms. 3 Barges can be handled at a time for imports. In the rest of the area, 14 Nos. of barges can be handled at a time for Imports /Exports.
|
| 10. Rate of handling |
: (a) Manual - 10 hours / barge of 400 T.
(b) Mechanical – 5 hours / barge of 400 T.
|
11. How to improve the efficiency
|
: - By introducing Mechanical operations.
- By constructing three additional loading platforms of size
32 Mts. x 8 Mts. each.
|
| 12. Limitations |
: At present most of the cargo handled in New Port Area is export cargo. The export cargo are Rice, Maize, Wheat, Soya Bean, Cement, Rice Bran. These cargoes are baggaged cargoes. The baggaged Crgo are handled by manual. import cargoes such as Rock Phosphate, Industrial Salt, Fertilizers are bulk cargoes, and these cargoes cannot be handled in New Port Area, where already baggaged cargoes are handled so to prevent contamination of ediblecargo.

| (C). MATTI POOL WHARF |
|
| |
| |
1. Length of the Wharf |
: Two wharves of length 44 M. and 27 Mts. |
| 2. Year of Construction |
: Not known (Appx. 50 years back) |
| 3. Type of Construction |
: Design particulars not known, R.C.C. piled structures with hard surfaced backup area |
| 4. Status of Wharf |
: Manual operations |
| 5. Type of cargo handled |
: Mostly Import Cargo - Rock phosphate and Industrial Salt.
|
6. Present pattern of allotment of Wharf to shippers
|
: Allotment is based first serve basis
|
7. Problems in Mechanical handling
|
: Wharves were constructed long back, Technical designs are not available. In the absence of technical details, safety of the structure cannot analysed for allowing mechanical operations.
|
8. Stacking area behind the Wharf
|
: 5,000 Sq.Mts. of hard surfaced area. |
9. No. of barges can be handled on this Wharf
|
: 3 Barges of 400 T. capacity can handled simultaneously.
|
| 10. Rate of handling |
: 10 Hours/barge |
11. How to improve the efficiency
|
: - By introducing Mechanical operations.
- By constructing three loading platforms of size
32 Mts. x 8 Mts.each.
|
| 12. Limitations |
: The area falls out side ISPS Compound Wall. For developing this Wharf separate Perimeter Wall is to be constructed.
