Paradip Port Surges AheadParadip Port Trust, in the current financial year up to 31st October,

2018 handled 62.04 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) cargo as

compared to 55.78 MMT of Cargo handled during the

corresponding period of the previous year. This is an increase of

11.22 % over the traffic handled during the corresponding period

of previous year.

In the current financial year up to October, 2018, POL traffic has

exhibited a growth of 5.72%, Thermal Coal traffic has exhibited a

growth of 33.90%. Similarly, Coking Coal traffic has exhibited a

growth of 2.68%, Container Cargo traffic grew by 139.88% and

Container TEUs has increased by 123.50% compared to the same

period of previous year. Paradip Port has retained the second

highest position in terms of Cargo handled amongst all the major

ports till the end of October, 2018.

The Port also handled 168 vessels in October, 2018 as compared

to 146 vessels in October, 2017. Paradip Port Trust handled 31.34

Million Metric Tonnes rail borne traffic up to the end of October,

2018 as compared to 29.58 Million Metric Tonnes handled during

the corresponding period of the previous year.

The number of vessels handled by the Port accordingly has

recorded a growth of 13.05% in the above period as the Port

handled 1126 number of ships in the FY2018-19 (up to October,

2018) as against 996 number of ships handled during the

corresponding period of previous year (2017-18).

Principal commodity-wise traffic handled in FY 2018-19 (upto October, 2018)

Paradip Port has added yet another feather to its cap by

successfully completing movement of 27 vessels within 20 Hrs.

i.e. from the period of 6.00 AM on 13thOctober 2018 to 2.00 AM

on 14th October 2018. In the first shift - 12 no. of vessels, in the

2nd shift - 11 No. vessels, in the third shift - 4 no. of vessels were

handled by the Marine Deptt. of PPT. Above includes 16 berthing,

1 Single Point Mooring, 3 Outward movement of Vessels, 1

shifting from one berth to another berth and 6 smaller vessel

movements. 16 berthing movements is a rare feat as most of the

berths were vacant due to the passing of Cyclone Titli and cargo

operation / shipping movements were stopped for the previous

two days. The stoppage of Port operations for the above two days

was recovered in a single day. Despite having no control over the

impending natural calamities from time to time, the way PPT

recovered shows the vibrant mindset of its employees to convert

challenges as opportunities. It also resulted in highest single day

cargo handling of 6,39,000 MT surpassing previous record of

5,34,000 MT achieved on 25th September 2018.

This record achievement could be possible due to responsive

Marine Pilots & Staff of PPT, Able guidance of Dy. Conservator,

PPT, concerned stevedores and the co-operation extended by the

Traffic Deptt. Previous record stood at 24 vessels handled by PPT

in a period of 24 Hrs on 3rd December, 2017.

Paradip Port is now gearing up to enhance the Cargo throughput as

it is vying for the coveted top position in the Country with a slew of

other infrastructure and modernisation facilities of the Port.

Paradip Port creates All Time Record in Vessel Movement and the Highest Single Day Cargo Handling

Highest ever ship-loading in a day i.e. 1.32

LMT of Thermal Coal took place on

15.10.2018 at Mechanised Coal Handling

Plant of PPT, surpassing the previous best of

1.24 LMT loaded on 08.01.2018. Maximum

no. of BOBR rakes i.e. 25 nos. were unloaded

on 20.10.2018 surpassing the earlier record of

24 rakes unloaded on 18.02.2016.

It was an innovative way of handling oil cargo for PPT, when a

tanker "MV Delfine" sailed into Inner Harbour carrying 8,000

Metric Tonnes of Palm Oil for Adani Wilmar Group and made

Mediterranean Mooring type of berthing off Fertilizer Berth No. 1.

The Vessel having Overall Length of 117.60 Meter and 19 Meter

beam was manoeuvred by Capt. Sridev under the guidance of Dy.

Conservator & Harbour Master of Marine Deptt., PPT.

It is unparalleled, prospective game changer for PPT, as it

represents the beginning of cargo handling conducted in a ship

with Mediterranean Mooring type of berthing. By this method,

cargo handling quantity of PPT will increase, without addition of

any infrastructure. Paradip Port leads the way, all the way.
