Industrial visit was carried out at Adani Port, Mundra on 4th January 2018 and

Vijaya Vilas Palace, Mandvi on 5th January 2018 especially for 6th semester Civil

student aware about how various activities related to import export, port services are

carried out and also about the various traditional concept of construction of heavier

structure to give them feel of site engineer on the port site as soon as they start their

career in future.

We were along with 51 students left for visit at 9 p.m. on 3rd January 2018 and took about

On the jetty, we were visit the View Point made for the Visitors by the Port

current scenario of the port. He had also discussed about the Total Amount of Quantity

Exchange from the Port Site, and it was around 100 Million Matric Ton which is equal to

100000000000 kilograms. Adani Port is specially established for the import export

purpose, so that it has also one special name “SEZ – SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE”. From the

port site all the types of Goods are shipped to all over the world. We had also saw the

TUG BOAT on the jetty, which is specially used to take the boat from mid water to jetty

for berthing.

We were visit the storage unit of the container, where the loading unloading of the

container on the storage cargo vessel had been carried out. Loading Unloading had been

carried out by RMQC (Rail Mount Quick Crane), which have transfer rate of 60 Container

per Hour. The highest capacity of that crane was 64 tonnes. Students had also seen the

storage units of Coal, Iron Oxides, Wood, Cars, etc. Coal has been transferred by the

Conveyor Belt to the Adani Thermal Power Plant, which is located 39 km far from North
