1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Introduction

As a part of major initiative to propel the economic growth, the Government of Odisha (GoO) is

aggressively working on the improvement of the import/export capabilities of the sea ports

along the coast of the Odisha State.

1.1.1 Background

Odisha has a rich maritime heritage with a coastline of 480 km and with historic trade links to

Southeast Asian islands, Sri Lanka, Burma, etc. The coastal state had a number of ancient

ports and Dhamra port is only a part of that legacy. While many of the ancient ports were

forgotten with the time, this port was vibrant even during the British Raj and was an important

link for trade and commerce between Bengal, Odisha and the South East Asia.

Dhamra has a vast hinterland generating cargo. Exports and imports of food grains, mineral

sands, raw materials, finished goods, fertilizers, edible oils and petroleum products, by the

large industrial houses located in the hinterland offer long term potential for cargo. In view of

this, the state of Odisha had decided to expand the existing minor port at Dhamra in to a full-

fledged all weather multi-user port. The state decided to develop the port on a public-private

partnership (“PPP”) mode based on the pre-feasibility study performed to explore possibilities

of expansion of the existing port at Dhamra.

The Consent to establish (NOC) for Phase I development project was obtained from Odisha

Pollution Control Board, under section 25 of Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act,

1974 and section 21 of Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 vide OPCB Office

Memorandum No. 12096 dated 17th

September, 1998. Ministry of Surface Transport (MoST),

Government of India accorded the environmental clearance for expansion of Dhamra port

project vides their Office Memorandum No. PD/26017/8/98-PDZ (CRZ) dated 4th

January,

2000. DPCL has implemented Phase I facility consists of Coal, Iron Ore and Lime Stone

handling facilities and same was commenced by May, 2011.

Further to the Phase I development; DPCL has proposed Phase II expansion of Dhamra Port.

Phase II expansion includes development of 11 additional berths plus 1 barge loading facility

and one transloading facility to handle dry bulk cargo, liquid cargo, LNG, container and other

clean cargo. The Consent to establish (NOC) for Phase II expansion project was obtained from

Odisha Pollution Control Board, vide order no. 2615-IND-II-NOC-5659 dated 19.02.2013.

Ministry of Environment & Forest (MoEF), Government of India accorded the environmental

and CRZ clearances for Phase II expansion of Dhamra port project vide their letter no. F. No.

2 INTRODUCTION OF PROPOSED MASTER PLAN FACILITIES

2.1 Project Identification

Dhamra port has a significant locational advantage over its counterparts on the eastern coast.

The mineral heartlands of the country (Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal) are

in close proximity to Dhamra port. Number of steel plants, thermal power plants and mineral

based industries are located in these states and many more are proposed.

The dedicated railway link developed by the port provides connectivity to Howrah - Chennai

main railway line which offers an efficient and cost effective supply chain/ value proposition

to the local importers and exporters in the states of Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. It

will also serve as an alternative gateway to ports on the west coast of India for trade between

North East India and Asia.

The Dhamra Port revised master plan comprises of the construction of total 35 berths, such as

barge handling berths, one mooring facility for trans-loading operations, liquid berths,

container and break bulk/clean/general cargo berths. LNG, LPG berths and reclamation of

approximately 1075.7 ha area and development of associated back up facilities.

2.2 Project Brief

The existing port is located to the North of Dhamra River mouth. The site provides full and

natural protection for a tranquil harbour where no breakwater is required.

2.2.1 Phase - I Development (Existing Development)

DPCL has implemented Phase-I development of port with two fully mechanized berths of 350

m each along with backup facilities for handling of Coal, Iron Ore and Lime Stone which

commenced commercial operations in May, 2011. The features of Phase-I development of port

are as follows.

January, 2014

for Phase – II expansion of port which consists of material handling area, cargo storage area,

operational and utility area, internal connectivity, drainage, greenbelt and buildings etc. . Total

11 additional berths plus 1 barge loading facility and one transloading facility to handle

container, coal, iron ore, liquid, LNG and other cargos with a cumulative capacity of 71.3

MMTPA cargo and 1 million TEU’s of containers in addition to additional throughput at the

barge and transloading facility are approved.

Other features include dredging at proposed berthing areas, channel widening and deepening

and for reclamation, development of cargo storage areas, tanks farms for storage of Crude oil,

Naphtha, POL, LNG / LPG and External road connectivity along the 62.5 km rail alignment from

Bhadrak to Dhamra Port Internal road/rail connectivity in the expansion area. The layout map

showing Phase II expansion is enclosed as Annexure – A1.

Development of Revised Master Plan

For the integrated development plan for Dhamra port it is important to utilize the maximum

marine development potential. Therefore based on the future Cargo projections and business

requirement of the hinterland, DPCL has decided to revise master plan for the Dhamra port.

Marine structures of the port will be developed with the flexibility to handle various cargos.

Type of berth and type of cargo is a commercial and business requirement. So master plan is

revised with those flexibilities to accommodate berths as multi-purpose. Revised master plan

will consist of berths at various locations, material handling area, cargo storage area,

operational and utility area, internal connectivity, drainage, greenbelt and various utilities and

amenities.

2.2.2.1 Immediate Development Plan

In addition to existing 2 berths, 3 additional bulk berths; 1 LNG / LPG / PoL berth, 1 LNG /LPG

berth, 1 Container berth and barge facilities along with backup facilities and independent port

craft facilities, conveyor systems, drainage, water supply, electrical works, internal roads,

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

11

railway works and other utilities and amenities will be developed to accommodate dry bulk

cargo, multipurpose cargo and LNG / LPG cargo. Total cargo handling capacity will increase

from existing 25 MMTPA to approximately 99.6 MMTPA.

The layout map showing immediate development plan based on Phase II expansion is enclosed

as Annexure – A2.

2.2.2.2 Revised Master Plan (First 5 years)

In addition to 2 existing operational berths, additional 14 berths are proposed as part of

revised master plan for first five years. Total cargo handling capacity will be approximately

169.5 MMTPA. Average dredge depth at berths will be (-) 20.5 m CD. For easy evacuation of

cargo, a new rail, road and utilities corridor (12 km x 125 m wide) is proposed from Northern

side development of Dhamra Port. Tentative alignment of corridor is shown in Master Plan.

However, feasibility of alignment of proposed corridor will be checked during detailed study.

This corridor will connect Dhamra port with existing rail-road corridor near Bansada, Bhadrak.

The layout map showing revised master plan (first 5 years) is enclosed as Annexure – A3.

2.2.2.3 Revised Master Plan (30 years)

Total 35 berths are proposed as part of revised master plan including 2 existing berths. In

2.2.4 Project Importance and Need

2.2.4.1 National Scenario

The Indian Economy has been on a growth trajectory since the process of liberalization started

in the year 1991. Various sectors and new models of development have been adopted to

address the basic infrastructure needed to match the growing GDP of the country. Among

many sectors of infrastructure, Sea Port infrastructure are grossly inadequate for the nation to

meet the growing challenges which in turn successfully integrate Indian Trade with the Global

economy in terms of productivity, efficiency, state-of-art technology and surpass global

developments in the Shipping sector.

Realising this need, the Government of India has given adequate thrust to Sea Port

infrastructure by setting targets to reach 2600 Million Tons (MT) capacity by the year 2016-

2017.

The world's proven natural gas reserves as on January 2010 are estimated at 190.16 Trillion

cubic meter, of which almost three-quarters are located in the Middle East and Eurasia.

The developing nations like China and India are aggressively adopting natural gas to fuel their

industry and to make their economic growth more environmentally sustainable. According to

experts, the world LNG trade is expected to grow at a rate of 6% over the period from 2011-

2020.

2.2.4.2 State (Odisha) Scenario

The State of Odisha with a coast line of 480 km has the responsibility to serve the land locked

states such as Jharkand, Chattisgarh, Bihar, Northeastern States and land locked areas of

Odisha and West Bengal. This region houses the largest mineral resource base of the country

in terms of Iron Ore, Thermal Coal & Coking Coal, and other critical minerals such as

Manganese, Copper etc. This region is housing nearly 80% of the country’s Integrated Steel

Plants both from Public Sector such as SAIL and Private Sectors such as TATA Steel, Jindals,

Essars, Bhushan, etc. The region also has Fertiliser and other Agricultural input demands apart

from Heavy Engineering and Automobiles etc.

2.2.4.3 Dhamra Port

Dhamra port has a significant locational advantage over its counterparts on the eastern coast.

The mineral heartlands of the country (Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal) are

in close proximity to Dhamra port. Besides, the limited draft of approach channel, Kolkata and

Haldia ports cannot cater for cape size and super cape size vessels now used for shipment of

crude oil. In view of this, super cape size carriers can call on Dhamra port from where cargo

can be shipped to Kolkata and Haldia by smaller vessels and barges.

2.2.5 Employment generation

During construction phase, approximately 500 workers will be employed. During operation

phase, approximate direct and indirect employment generation expected due to the proposed

revised master plan is as per the table given below.

3 Project Description

3.1 Location of Project

Dhamra Port is geographically located north of Dhamra River mouth between Latitude 200 48’

N to 200 56’ N and Longitude 86

0 55’ E to 87

0 16’ E on the East Coast of India in Chandbali

Tehsil, Bhadrak District of Odisha State. Dhamra port is located at a distance of 85 km by road

from Bhadrak, which is the nearest major town on the Chennai- Kolkata highway NH 5, the

nearest major railway station also is Bhadrak situated at a distance of 62 km from Dhamra on

the Cuttack –Khargapur section. The nearest airport is Bhubaneswar located approximately

220 km southwest of the project site.

Figure - 1 Location of Dhamra Port

The bases of selection of the proposed site for the proposed facility are as per the criteria

discussed below. There are certain key advantages of Dhamra and they are as given below.

Strategic location

Availability of deep draft

Gateway for dedicated maritime facilities to land – locked states

Multi-modal connectivity through Rail & Road network

16

Large stretches of non-agricultural / highly saline barren land available for

development

However, Since Dhamra port has already been established and operational, for expansion of

the port no other site selection criterion has been considered.

3.2 Size / Magnitude of the Project

Selection of a maximum design vessel size for the cargo configuration of a proposed facility is

among the most important inputs in the planning and design of facilities. However, in actual

practice barges for transportation of the cranes may be carried in different sizes of vessels

depending upon the availability of vessels for the transportation. Hence, it is also useful to

have an idea of the range of vessel sizes that would call at the proposed facility.

3.2.1 Design size vessel

The Terminal has been planned for the following ship related data.

3.2.2 Conceptual Layout Planning

For conceptualizing layout plans for the proposed facility, the requirements like navigation

parameters, number of berths, cargo handling facilities, operational parameters, etc. have been

identified. Based on above, suitable locations within the proposed port site have been

identified where these facilities are to be developed.

3.3 Project description and Process

The proposed master plan development of Dhamra port has been briefly discussed in the

section of Land Use Plan in Chapter – 5.

3.4 Water and Power Availability

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

17

1.95 MLD. Water requirement during operation phase (30 year Master Plan) will be

approximately 40 MLD which will be met by proposed desalination plant near existing WTP.

Existing WTP has capacity of 5 MLD. The source of water for this WTP is from Manthai River

intake location approximately 12 KM distance from port. Raw water shall be taken from

Manthai River at the existing intake location. The maximum water withdrawal shall be 100

MLD (for 40 MLD desalination plant). The demand shall be increased gradually as the

operation ramps up. The outfall quantity from desalination plant will be approximate 60 MLD.

The treatment technology for the desalination plant will be UV/SWRO/BWRO. The reject brine

from the desalination plant will be sent back to sea through an outfall arrangement. The exact

location of the outfall point shall be finalised after dispersion modelling studies to ensure

minimal impact to receiving environment.

Figure - 2 Route of existing raw water pipeline

Sewage and effluent generation during construction phase as well as during operation phase

will be treated in STP and ETP respectively. Capacity of STP and ETP will be to the tune of

2000 KLD and 5000 KLD respectively. Please refer table below for water balance.

detailed study will be carried out for exact requirement of water.

Tentative location of intake and outfall is shown in master plan. However, best suitable

location of intake and outfall, if required for regasification, will be located after detailed study.

Sea water may be utilized for fire-fighting purpose. Fire water pumps and pipelines will be

installed in CRZ areas as per the requirements.

3.4.2 Power Availability

The electric power requirement during construction phase will be approximately 10,125

kWh/day which will be sourced from the existing power source (OPTCL). Electricity

requirement during operation phase will be approximately 816,000 kWh/day. It will also be

sourced from OPTCL. During operation phase, power back up in form of DG sets will be

available to the tune of approximately 30 MVA. Diesel consumption for the same will be to the

tune of 1000 Lit/hr.

3.5 Requirement of Basic Raw Material

The requirement of the basic raw material for the revised Master Plan development will be as

given below.

Coarse aggregate – 11.48 MMT

Fine aggregate (Sand) – 6.6 MMT

Stone – 5.4 MMT

Dredged material for reclamation – 110 Mm3

(7.55 Mm3 is already approved for Phase II

development)

However, Basic raw material for construction is available in near vicinity of Dhamra Port. Ready

mix concrete will be made out of the basic raw material on site itself. Batching plants of

respective size and capacity as per requirement will be installed at the site.

4 Site Analysis

4.1 Connectivity

The port has acquired 100 m to 125 m wide land corridor from Dhamra to Bhadrak for

providing exclusive connectivity with the hinterland. Corridor is planned with 4 lane road and 2

rail tracks with future provision of 2 lane road and 1 rail tracks. 125 m wide corridor is meant to

accommodate three rail tracks, a six-lane road, an electric overhead transmission line, utility

corridor and side drain.

During Phase – I development, DPCL has already constructed 62.5 km rail connectivity from

Dhamra to Bhadrak on the main Howrah-Chennai line. In addition a 132 kV electric overhead

transmission line for providing electric power supply to Dhamra port was constructed through

this corridor. A water pipe line for supply of raw water was laid in this corridor from Manthai

River to port for a distance of 12.39 km.

For easy evacuation of cargo, a new rail, road and utilities corridor (12 km x 125 m wide) is also

proposed from Northern side development of Dhamra Port. Tentative alignment of corridor is

shown in Master Plan. However, feasibility of alignment of proposed corridor will be checked

during detailed study.

4.1.1 Road connectivity

Dhamra is connected by road with Bhadrak (85 km), the nearest major town on NH 5. Distance

between Dhamra and Bhubaneswar is 220 km. DPCL has made a provision for development of

six lane dedicated road and for three track rail link (including one existing rail track) within the

road/rail corridor. The existing road connectivity from NH 5 to Dhamra is available at

Jamujhadi, which is around 25 km from Bhadrak towards Balasore.

4.1.2 Railway connectivity

Bhadrak railway station of Khurda Road Division, East Coast Railway (ECoR) on the Chennai-

Howrah main line, is the nearest rail head to Dhamra Port. Bhadrak is located at 143 km from

Bhubaneswar and 297 km from Howrah.

Dhamra port is connected with Indian railway network at Bhadrak & Ranital Cabin of ECoR

through single electrified 62Km long dedicated private railway line, developed within above

100-125m wide corridor and commissioned in May 2011 as Phase – I. The existing rail

connectivity takes off through Dedicated UP & DN lines from Bhadrak & Ranital cabin to

Bhatatira station. There are 4 crossing stations, Bhatatira, Tihri, Gurdaspur & Bansara on the

existing railway connectivity with an R&D yard at Dhamra Terminal before Handling yard of

Port. Existing 62 Km long Rail connectivity has total 113 km track length. The line is provided

20

with electric traction and CTC signalling. The railway line is connected to the port entrance

and aligned inside the port bulb to facilitate loading and unloading of cargo through

mechanized system provided in the port boundary with possibility of conversion to automatic

signalling system.

Above existing single line rail connectivity will be augmented with proposed doubling with

suitable up gradation in existing signalling & OHE system to cater the projected traffic of

proposed Dhamra Southern side of Port.

It is also envisaged that the evacuation of projected traffic of Dhamra Northern side of Port

will not be feasible through proposed port bulb at Dhamra Southern side of Port and R&D yard

at DTY terminal. Therefore, separate rail connectivity will be required for Dhamra Northern

side of Port which shall be linked to the existing lead line at suitable location. In addition to

that for the additional traffic of Dhamra Northern side of Port proposed doubling of the lead

line will need to be further augmented by provision of third line.

4.2.2 Land Ownership

The Phase – I of the Dhamra Port has been developed in an area of 234 ha Phase – II approval

has been received to develop 456 Ha in addition to development of phase – I. Further

expansion is proposed in an additional area of 1323.4 Ha within the existing port limits

adjacent to the Phase – I development. Out of total 2013.4 Ha area, approximately 1075.7 Ha

land will be reclaimed and approximately 23 ha from phase – II approved land will be dredged

to create marine facilities. Area required for the proposed revised master plan development is

calculated considering all the facilities essential for envisaged operations and also by focusing

on possibility of limiting the extent of land area requirement. Accordingly, revised master plan

layout has been prepared. Careful site selection ensures that no Habitations are present. The

proposed expansion site comprises of mostly dry mud and mud without much vegetation and

any habitations. Hence, no rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) is envisaged and this impact

is completely avoided.

mangroves on the southern side of the port. Hence approximate 1981.4 Ha area will be used

for development. The layout map showing land use plan is enclosed as Annexure – A5.

The proposed development will consist of material handling area, cargo storage/backup area,

operational and utility area, internal connectivity, drainage, greenbelt and buildings etc. The

4.3 Topographic Features

The project site is located at average (-) 1.0 m CD to (+) 3.5 m CD level. Project site is sloping

towards East i.e., towards Sea side.

4.4 Existing Land use Pattern

Total area covered by Phase – I of the Dhamra Port is 234 Ha In addition to this, approximately

1747.4 Ha area will be required for the revised master plan (30 year plan) within the existing

port limits (excluding mangroves area). The proposed development of master plan site consists

of dry mud barren land; dry mud with sparse and thick Giria grass; mud and sparse vegetation

which fall in intertidal zone without any macro vegetation, habitation and built-up area.

4.5 Soil Classification

Based on the sub-soil information from available geotechnical investigation reports of the

boreholes explored in the area, it is observed that the top soil in entire area is comprised of

highly plastic soft to medium inorganic clay up to a depth of 15 to 18 m having SPT ‘N’ values

varying from 1 to 8. This clay layer is followed by medium to stiff silty clay layer having

thickness of 5 to 10m with SPT 'N' values varying from 10 to 30. The soil beneath this is

comprised of stiff to hard clay with silt having SPT > 30. Average ground water table is at 0 to

0.5 m below NGL. Underground water quality does not have any appreciable excesses of

chlorides or sulphates.

The summary report of sub-soil investigation has been attached in Annexure – B for reference.

4.6 Climate Data

The Met-Ocean conditions and climate data has been described as given below.

24

4.6.1 Temperature

The maximum and minimum temperatures observed are 39.70 C and 14.2

0 C respectively.

4.6.2 Cyclones

Occurrence of storms and depressions is very high during October and November and

negligible during January-March. It is also high during southwest monsoon. The monsoon

depressions formed in the head of Bay move towards west / northwest and reach the Odisha

coast at times. The initial movement of the cyclones is towards north westerly / westerly

direction, but occasionally they change their direction and move in a north easterly direction.

Altogether 387 depressions and cyclones crossed Odisha coast from 1891 to 2007, 32 from

1988 to 2007 and 11 depressions during 2000-07. These depressions crossing Odisha coast

are presented in Figures below.

An analysis of cyclones / depressions that have crossed Odisha coast during the period 1891-

1994 show that these are confined to the months of May to November. Balasore district is

more prone to cyclones (50%) than other districts, while Ganjam gets the least (11%).

4.6.3 Tsunami

Tsunami that had developed in Indian Ocean near 275 Km SSW of Sumatra Islands in Indonesia

in December, 2004 travelled over 2,500 km, before hitting the East and South Coast of India

taking toll on life and property. As per the assessment made by Odisha State Disaster

Management Authority, 22 blocks of different districts are vulnerable to Tsunami of which,

Chandbali block of Bhadrak district is also included.

4.6.4 Wind

The predominant wind directions observed were from South and South West; Calm conditions

prevailed for 8.06% of the total time. The wind speed varied between 0.5 to 2.1 m/s for most of

the time during this period. The average wind speed was observed to be 1.82 m/s.

Figure - 6 Wind Rose diagram

4.6.5 Tides

The tides near Dhamra region are of the semi-diurnal type and has occurrence of two high and

two low waters every day. Tide levels with respect to Chart Datum are as given in table below.

26

4.6.6 Currents

The analysis shows that the maximum measured and simulated currents speed at measured

locations is 1.96 m/s. The cross and longitudinal current velocities vary along the channel

alignment in space and time. Cross current velocities are insignificant in the inner channel and

increase in amplitude toward the seaward end of the outer channel. Longitudinal velocities are

strong in the inner channel and reduce seaward in the outer channel.

4.6.7 Waves

It is observed that offshore wave heights are higher during the SW and NW monsoon. During

the months of June, July and August, more than 95% of waves are higher than 1.0 m, 35 % of

the waves are higher than 2.0 m and 5% of waves are greater than 3.0 m. While the wave

heights during the months of November, December & January are in the range of 0.5 m to 2.0

m which accounts to 90 % of the total occurrences.

The predominant deep water wave directions during the pre-monsoon (Mar-May) are wind

generated waves from SW, SSW and swells from S, during the NE-monsoon (Jun-Aug) are from

NNE and NE and swells from S and SSE, during the transition (Feb, Oct) are swells from S and

SSE.

The near shore maximum wave height at 20 m contour for 10 % and 0.1 % exceedance during

the SW monsoon are 2.4 m and 4.97 m respectively. While during the NE monsoon, the near

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

27

shore maximum wave height at the 20m contour for 10 % and 0.1 % exceedance are 1.53 m

and 2.64 m respectively.

4.6.8 Littoral Drift

Waves induce currents along the coast when they break, known as long shore currents. These

currents resulting from oblique wave approach run parallel to the shore in the surf zone. These

currents transport sediments disturbed by the waves in the direction of current known as

littoral drift or long shore sediment transport.

During SW monsoon the waves approach the coast generally from south to SE. During this

period, the associated littoral current and littoral drifts are directed up-coast in the northeast

direction. Whereas, during the fair weather period including NE monsoon when the wave

direction is northeast to east, the coast experiences down-coast drift.

Central Water Power Research Station (CWPRS) estimated the drift from south to north of the

order of 0.9 Mm³ / year during SW monsoon season and the southerly drift during NE monsoon

season as 0.16 Mm³ / year. Thus, the net northward littoral drift along the coast is of the order

of 0.74 Mm³ / year. It can be concluded that the northerly drift (March–September) is the most

dominant for this coast and accounts for major sand movements and shoreline changes.

4.6.9 Seismic Conditions

As per the IS: 1893 (Part 1) 2002 of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Dhamra falls in Zone II is

a low risk zone. The seismic zoning map of Odisha is shown in Figure below.

Figure - 7 Seismic Zoning Map of Odisha

28

4.7 Social Infrastructure

In nearby population areas, houses are made of pucca and kaccha, both types. Tar road is

available in near villages. People are mostly dependent on agriculture and fishing activities.

However, due to uncertainty and irregular incomes from these two sources, people of the area

move towards other places in search of employment. Due to the proposed revised master plan

of Dhamra port, employment opportunities during construction as well as operation phase will

be generated. Number of approximate direct and indirect employment opportunities is

mentioned in section 2.2.5.

Educational facilities are available in the form of primary and secondary schools. For further

education, students are availing facilities from the nearest towns. Medical facilities in the

project study area need improvement. Communication services like post office and telephones

are available in the study area. Most of the villagers are having mobile phones. Further social

assessment of the study area will be carried out in detail during EIA study.

5 Planning Brief

5.1 Planning Concept

For conceptualizing layout plans for the proposed facility, the requirements like navigation

parameters, number of berths, cargo handling facilities, operational parameters, etc. has been

identified. Based on above, suitable locations within the proposed port site have been

identified where these facilities are to be developed.

The basic navigational needs for servicing the vessels are as given below.

Sufficient water depths and widths in approach channel

Harbour basin and jetty for the cargo handling operation

Tranquillity conditions

Adequate stopping distance for vessels of largest size

Sufficient water area for easy Maneuverability of vessels throughout the year

Efficient fenders and mooring systems, etc.

Present Mooring Issues at Dhamra Port

It is evident from various studies of existing port that current velocity in the existing

navigation channel in front of berth is very high and is in tune of 1.5 to 1.9 m/s. Studies also

show that current velocity under and behind the berth are very less as compare to that in front

of the berth during both flood and ebb tides.

Above phenomenon results into development of pressure head and difference in water level

because of velocity gradient across the channel and berth pocket. Additional forces on the

vessel, called stand-off forces, are being developed due to this, which creates heavy lateral

forces on the vessel in addition to the regular mooring forces.

Because of above, numbers of occasions were recorded in the port in which the ropes of

vessels subjected exponentially high forces and were broken during peak flood and peak ebb.

To take care of this situation and to ensure that this condition does not get repeated in future,

the quay line of the bigger vessel berths are shifted away from the main channel and taken

back towards land side, which is expected to give fairly good conditions for the mooring and

safety of the vessel during operation. Also to get the tranquil conditions, port craft jetties are

shifted inside towards land.

5.1.1 Navigational

As a prerequisite for planning the layout of the proposed revised master plan development of

the Dhamra port and related backup facility, it is essential to set the basic criteria for the

design of various components like navigational aspects to handle different types of vessels

Page 30: PFR Dhamra Port - environmentclearance.nic.inenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/... · Dhamra port has a significant locational advantage over its counterparts on the

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

30

likely use for the transportation of cargo. These conditions are related to the marine

environmental conditions at the location. However, due to Kanika Island in the nearby vicinity

of the proposed development site no breakwater has been envisaged for this expansion.

5.1.2 Protection against Waves

For providing tranquillity conditions in the existing approach channel, in the proposed basin

and also for the smooth cargo operations, necessary slope protection work beneath the

proposed jetty against predominant marine conditions will be provided if required. However,

due to Kanika Sand Island waves are not significant in nature.

5.1.3 Navigation Channel Dimensions

The channel alignment will be oriented considering the following aspects:

The channel is aligned in a straight line as far as possible.

The channel is oriented so as to reach the deep-water contours in shortest possible

distance (this is to optimize the quantity of dredging).

The dimensions of the navigation channel are dependent on the vessel size, the behaviour of

the vessel when sailing through the channel, the environmental conditions (winds, currents

and waves) and the channel bottom conditions. Channel design primarily involves

determination of the safe channel width and depth for the dimensions of the design vessel.

The existing approach channel is a one way channel and the dimensions of the navigational

facilities are as follows.

Navigation channel – 18.0 km long

Outer channel – 240 m wide and (-) 18.3 m CD dredged depth

Inner channel – 170 m wide, (-) 17.5 m to (-) 17.0 m CD dredged depth

The widening & deepening of the approach channel will be required for the proposed revised

Master Plan development. The proposed approach channel dimensions are as follows:

Navigation Channel – 21.0 km long (2 way) at (-) 19.0 m CD dredged depth and 24.0 km

long at (-) 22.0 m CD dredged depth

Outer channel – 500 m wide and (-) 19.0 m CD dredged depth

Inner channel – 500 m wide and (-) 19.0 m CD dredged depth

Berth Pockets of all bulk & multipurpose berth (-) 20.5 m CD dredged depth

5.1.3.1 Channel width

The width of the proposed navigational channel is 500 m used for the transportation of the

cargo vessels for 2 way movement simultaneously. The maximum beam of largest vessel is

55.0 m for 2, 50,000 DWT Bulk Cargo vessels and 60.0 m for 18,500 TEUs container vessel.

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

31

For the proposed revised master plan layout, widening & deepening of the existing channel has

been envisaged to meet the requirement of the cargo volumes.

Figure - 8 Typical Cross Section of Approach Channel

Based upon the guidelines given in the PIANC document titled “Approach Channels – A Guide

to Design” approach channel width has been calculated.

For 5 year development plan base width of channel will be limited to 300 m considering

projected cargo & vessels.

5.1.3.2 Channel Depth

The depth in the channel should be adequately greater than the static draft of the vessels

using the waterway to ensure safe navigation. Generally, the depth in the channel is

determined by following factors.

Vessel’s loaded draft

Trim or tilt due to the loading within the holds

Ship’s motion due to waves, such as pitch, roll and heave

Character of the sea bottom, soft or hard

Wind influence of water level and tidal variations

Based on the PIANC guidelines, the following general recommendations on under keel

clearances shall be adopted to determine the dredge depths:

Open sea area (in outer approach channel) : for those exposed to strong and long stern

or quarter swell, where speed may be high, gross under keel clearance should be about

20% of the maximum draft of ships.

Channel: for sections exposed to strong and long swell, gross under keel clearance

should be about 15% of the draft.

Page 32: PFR Dhamra Port - environmentclearance.nic.inenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/... · Dhamra port has a significant locational advantage over its counterparts on the

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

32

Channel: less exposed to swell, gross under keel clearance should be about 10% of the

draft.

Maneuvering and berthing areas for those exposed to swell (without full protection of

breakwater): gross under keel clearance should be about 10 to 15% of the draft.

Maneuvering and berthing areas protected (full protection by breakwater): gross under

keel clearance to be about 7% of the draft.

Considering the above factors and guidelines given in PIANC, the under keel clearance is taken

as 15 % of the draft of the maximum size of the vessel in the channel and maneuvering in

existing and proposed approach channel has been considered as sheltered area. The maximum

fully laden draft for design vessel is 19.0 m for bulk carrier and 16.0 m for 18,500 TEU

container vessels.

Based on considerations, under keel clearance to be adopted in proposed crane roll-on facility

development may be 15 % of vessel draft in channel, basin area and in the berth pocket. From

the above considerations, the depths required in the navigation channel at the proposal port

are worked out and presented below. However to optimize the dredging quantity in initial

phase, tidal advantage up to 3.0 m has been considered to accommodate largest size vessels.

(m)

Approach Channel 19.0 2.85 (15 % UKC) 3.0 18.85

Basin Area 19.0 1.9 (10 % UKC) 2.0 18.90

Berth Pocket 19.0 1.33 (7 % UKC) 0.0 20.33

Hence, from the above table it can be seen that for safe maneuvering of the vessel with

entering limiting tide in the approach channel and the basin area (-) 19.0 m CD dredge depth is

required and for berth pocket (-) 20.5 m CD dredged depth is required.

However, for revised Master Plan (30 year) with the design vessel size of 2,50,000 DWT for

bulk cargo, the dredged depth of the approach channel and basin area is required up to (-)

22.0 m CD as with increased frequency of largest vessel for which estimated dredging quantity

is approximate 185 Mm3.

5.1.4 Maneuvering Area

The location of the maneuvering area or the turning basin, required to swing and berth the

vessels, is very important and its design must provide the proper configuration, the proper

Page 33: PFR Dhamra Port - environmentclearance.nic.inenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/... · Dhamra port has a significant locational advantage over its counterparts on the

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

33

dimensions and access. The size of the maneuvering area is a function of the length and

maneuverability of the vessels and the time available for executing the turning maneuver.

The optimum configuration of such basin would be circular. By considering environmental

conditions and the fact that vessels will be assisted by tugs, the diameter of the turning circle

is required to be kept as 1.7 to 1.8 times length of the vessel. However, for the 400 m long

vessel, minimum 700 m dia turning circle is required.

The dimensions and sizing of the maneuvering and the basin area has been carried out in such

a manner that 700 m dia turning circle will be available.

5.1.5 Dredging and Reclamation

Dredging will be carried out at proposed berthing areas and for widening of existing approach

channel. The estimated quantity of total dredge material during proposed Master Plan

development is 140 Mm³ out of which 24.85 Mm³ is the approved dredging volume for the

approved MoEF drawing. Approximately 100 to 110 Mm³ will be used for reclamation of

proposed backup yard and level rising upto 5 to 7 m CD and remaining dredged material will be

disposed-off at the disposal ground beyond (-) 20 m depth offshore in an area which will be

identified after the study later.

Dredging quantity for the immediate phase, 5 year development and master plan has been

worked out and cumulative values are listed below.

Immediate development Plan – 24.85 Mm³

5 Year development Plan – 110 Mm³

Revised Master Plan (30 year) – 140 Mm³ for (-) 19.0 m CD

Revised Master Plan (30 year) – 185 Mm3 for (-) 22.0 m CD

As a preliminary estimate maintenance dredging requirement as per the master plan will

approximately 19.6 Mm3. However, the same will depend upon type of the sediments and sea

bed material.

5.1.6 Berthing Area Dimensions

The size of berthing area and the berth depend upon the dimensions of the largest ship and

the number of ships to use the proposed facility. The berth layout is affected by many factors

such as given below.

The size of the port basin for maneuvering

Satisfactory arrival and departure of ships to and from the harbour

Whether the ships are equipped with stern and bow thrusters

Availability of tugs, direction and magnitude of wind, waves and current.

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

34

5.1.7 Navigational Aids

The proposed development of berths as per the master plan and its related backup facility

involves creating an approach channel of 500 m wide base width having (-) 19.0 m CD depth in

approach channel and in turning circles. These areas will be delineated by appropriate

navigational aids. Also, it will be quite useful to establish a well-marked navigation line, by

installing two navigation marks / leading light towers, one in the front near the high water line

and the other at the rear. These marks will distinctly demarcate the channel.

The height and spacing in between the towers must be designed suitably with adequate day

marks and night leading lights, fulfilling the navigational needs of vessels approaching the port

facility. The following navigational aids are available in existing approach channel.

Channel marker buoys

Fairway buoy and Turning circle buoys

Front and rear leading light

Berth corner lights

In existing approach channel the buoyage system follows IALA standards as applicable to

Region A countries. One fairway buoy has been installed at the entrance of the channel. The

channel is marked with 19 lateral buoys spaced at a distance of 1 NM. Turning circle is marked

with 2 cardinal buoys. The visibility of the fairway buoy and navigational buoy is 10 NM and 5

NM respectively in fair weather. The navigational buoys are fitted with GPS system and fairway

buoy is having a recon transmitting code letter “D”.

However, the addition or change in the location of these buoys will be required once the entire

channel widening as per the proposed master plan development get completed.

5.1.7.1 Fairway Buoy

Fairway buoy (FB) marks the entry to the approach channel and also indicates the location of

the pilot boarding area. Hence the vessels calling at port should be able to detect the fairway

buoy while approaching the port.

The characteristics of the fairway buoy will be as follows:

Type - Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) (3m dia)

Radar Reflector - Fitted

Light characteristics - Fl RW 105 10m LED 20W Halogen Lamps

Power - Solar with backup battery for optimum autonomy.

Anchoring arrangement - with 32mm diameter chain and 3.0 T anchor weight

Page 35: PFR Dhamra Port - environmentclearance.nic.inenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/... · Dhamra port has a significant locational advantage over its counterparts on the

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

35

5.1.7.2 Channel Marker Buoys

There will be a pair of Channel Marker Buoys at the beginning of the channel on either side.

Thereafter two pairs of Channel Marker Buoys are provided along the channel at a spacing of

1 km. The channel marker buoys will have the following characteristics:

Type - FRP (3m dia)

Day mark - Single Green, Cone type (Starboard buoy) & Single Red, Can type (Portside

buoy)

Radar reflector - Fitted

Light characteristics - Fl G 3s 2m (star board buoys)

LED 20W Halogen Lamps

Power - Solar plus backup battery for optimum autonomy.

Anchoring arrangement - with 32mm diameter chain and 3.0 T anchor weight

5.1.7.3 Front and rear Leading Light

It is necessary to mark the center line of the channel with leading lights to ensure safe day and

night navigation of vessels visiting the port. The leading lines will be having following criteria:

Visibility range - 20 nautical miles

The Leading lines and Leading lights are designed in accordance with IALA Guidelines

and recommendations and the details are as follows:

Day mark - As per IALA Guidelines

Light Characteristics - Front Light Fl Y 1s & Rear Light Occ. Y 3s

The leading lights will be controlled by a sun-switch to ensure that the lights operate only

during darkness or bad visibility. Power supply will be provided by batteries, to be recharged by

solar panel systems mounted on the supporting structure, and/ or by power supply from the

port distribution system. The battery banks shall be sized to ensure 24 hours continuous

operation of the lighting system.

5.1.7.4 Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS)

The purpose of the VTMS is to provide a clear and concise real time representation of vessel

movements and interaction in the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) area. In Dhamra Port case, the

service area will be the approach channel, harbour basin area etc. This system will be used for

marine operations and will also be linked to the PMIS (Port Management and Information

System). The information provided by VTMS system allows the operator or user of the system

to following facilities.

Provide the required level of VTS: Information, Assistance or Organization

Page 36: PFR Dhamra Port - environmentclearance.nic.inenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/... · Dhamra port has a significant locational advantage over its counterparts on the

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

36

Enhance safety of life and property

Reduce risks associated with marine operations

Enhance efficiency of vessel movements and port marine resources

Distribute VTS related information

Provide Search and rescue assistance

Provide VTS data for administrative purposes, analysis of incidents and planning

The VTS in recent years has changed from Traffic Monitoring to Traffic Planning by

introduction and interconnection of databases and expert systems. It allows access of static

and dynamic information about ships, their cargo and port service requirements. Together with

an automatic update of traffic information the VTMS provides a powerful tool for

programming of traffic movement within the surveillance area. Operators can associate

tracked targets with vessels registered in the database, which makes the data readily available

and allows the system to automatically provide pertinent voyage information to other port

service providers.

5.1.8 Harbour Crafts

All vessel-handling operations inside the port area will be assisted by tugs. The number and

capacity of the tugs will depend upon the size of the largest vessel, and number of vessels to

be handled. The effect of wind on container vessels is highest. The largest vessel likely to be

handled will be 18,500 TEU container vessel. Tugs will be sufficient to handle vessels up to

18,500 TEU or 2,50,000 DWT bulk vessels. Tug boats will be used for maintenance of the

navigational AIDS, channel Buoys and fenders, etc.

In existing development, the tugs are moored on the rear side of the northern berth, later

whenever proposed expansion of the berths will be done, a separate facility will be provided.

Apart from tugboats, a pilot launch is also required.

The bollard pull of the tugs shall be compatible with capacity of on board bollards in the

vessels to be towed. For smaller bulk vessels, lesser capacity of the same tugs will be used. The

tugs will be provided with appropriate towing gear with necessary pollution control

equipment.

It is envisaged that each Cape size bulk carrier requires assistance of 3 to 4 tugs whereas a

Panamax size ships require 2 to 3 tugs of 50 MT bollard-pull capacity for maneuvering and

berthing operations including a standby tug. In addition for each shipping movement an escort

tug is expected to move in the navigational channel along with the ship. The turnaround time

for an escort tug is about 4 hours, which includes following activities.

maneuver 0.50 Hrs.

Page 37: PFR Dhamra Port - environmentclearance.nic.inenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/... · Dhamra port has a significant locational advantage over its counterparts on the

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

37

1.95 Hrs.

1.22 Hrs.

3.67 Hrs.

However, on many occasions the tugs could combine the ship departure and ship arrival

operations to optimize their movements. Based on this it has been assessed that about 10 to

12 tugs would need to be provided during proposed master plan development.

5.1.9 Berth Requirements

The number of berths required, is a function of cargo type and volume, and the expected cargo

handling rates. Certain cargoes can be handled at the same (multi-purpose) berth, while others

require dedicated facilities. Other factors that would influence are as given below.

Vessel sizes and parcel sizes

Number of operational days per year

Number of working hours per day

Time required for peripheral activities and

Allowable berth occupancy.

The cargo handling rates and the other factors are discussed in the subsequent sections.

5.1.9.1 Cargo Handling Rates

The following cargo handling rates are considered for planning purposes:

Coal – Import : 2750 TPH per cranes & 2 - 3 cranes / berth

Coal – Export : 5000 – 9000 TPH per cranes & 1 crane / berth

Container : 31 - 32 moves/hr/crane (considering, 1 move = 1.3 TEU)

& 11 - 15 RMQC for 3 no. of berth cluster.

General & Break bulk Cargo : 1000 TPH per crane & 2 cranes / berth

Fertilizer and FRM : 1000 TPH per crane & 2 cranes / berth

Liquid Cargo : 350 TPH – 1800 TPH (depending upon type of cargo)

The average cargo handling rates based on the productivity of the topsides for various

commodities are presented in table below. The handling rates indicated in are worked out, for

effective topside working hours of 21 to 24 hours per day and other factors that influences the

berth and stockyard operation.

8. LNG 1, 35,000 cu.m.

9 LPG 44,000 MT

5.1.9.3 Operational Time

It is assumed that proposed master plan facilities will work round the clock, seven days a week.

Allowing 15 days weather downtime, the effective number of working days will be 350 days /

year, subject to limiting current and tide conditions.

5.1.9.4 Time Required for Peripheral Activities

Apart from the time involved in the handling of cargo, additional time will be required for other

activities such as the berthing and de-berthing of the vessels, customs clearance, cargo

surveys, positioning and hook up of equipment, waiting for clearance to sail, etc. As per

industry standards, these activities are assumed to take on an average, 6 (six) hours per vessel

call. However, this does not include downtime due to currents and tidal conditions.

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

39

5.1.9.5 Allowable Level of Berth Occupancy

Berth occupancy is expressed as the ratio of the total number of days per year that a berth is

occupied by a vessel (which includes the time lost in peripheral activities), to the number of

port operational days in a year. The berth occupancy percentage is an indication of the time

that a vessel calling at the port will have to wait on an average for a berth – higher berth

occupancy will entail a longer pre-berthing detention, and lower level berth occupancy will

ensure the least waiting time.

The main consideration while planning the number of berths, is to ensure that the ratio of

waiting time to service time be kept at an acceptable level, in order to avoid paying demurrage.

5.1.9.6 Number of Berths required

Based on the above given parameters, requirement of number of berths have been worked out.

The below table shows the number of berths required along with length and capacity.

5.2 Land use Planning

The proposed master plan development will consist of material handling area, cargo storage /

backup area, operational and utility area, internal connectivity, drainage, greenbelt and

buildings etc.

Further due to strategic location of the port and resultant logistics advantages, substantial

traffic may be attracted to the terminal. However, to calculate the area of the storage yard and

transit godowns following factors plays vital role.

Dwell time

Storage factor

Considering all these factors, area for the cargo storage has been worked out and described in

the sections below.

5.2.1 Coal - Import

Coal will be stacked in the stockyard areas initially before evacuation by rail/road. Number of

separate stockpiles need to be provided to cater for different grades of coal. However,

following parameters have been considered to calculate the storage capacity of the stockyard.

4 Angle of repose 37 deg

5 Extra space for circulation 20% approx.

6 Average height of stack 12 to 14 m (for mechanized handling)

5.2.1.1 Cargo Unloading Mechanism

Coal will be unloaded with unloader which moves on the rail which will be installed on the

berth. Mechanical grab of unloader crane will pick up the cargo from the ship hold and unload

the material in to the hopper. Hopper will load the conveyor with control/ discharge gate/ belt

feeder which will retrieve coal from hopper & discharge on the Jetty conveyor for onward

transportation to coal storage yard through series of conveyors.

5.2.1.2 Stock Yard

Cargo will be stacked in coal yard by mechanized handling system. Coal cargo received by belt

conveyor system from the jetty will be stacked in coal yard through yard conveyors along

stockyard using stacker cum reclaimer. Each yard conveyor is equipped with one stacker cum

reclaimer machine.

Page 41: PFR Dhamra Port - environmentclearance.nic.inenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/... · Dhamra port has a significant locational advantage over its counterparts on the

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

41

5.2.1.3 Evacuation of Coal Cargo

Coal is also being reclaimed from stockyard through stacker cum reclaimer and conveyed

towards reclaiming conveyors which will discharge material in wagon loading silo. An in-

motion wagon loading arrangement with conveyor connectivity has been planned. The rake

consists of 59 wagons (maximum) of 68 MT capacities each subject to wagon carrying

capacity & density of coal. However, to enhance the capacity of the exiting railway loop,

additional lines and silo will be constructed to match the berth capacity.

5.2.2 Coal / Iron Ore - Export

Coal / Iron Ore will be received at the port from trains traversing in the rail loop. To meet the

requirement independent Coal / Iron Ore paths rail Dump Stations or wagon tippler will be

provided on each of the tracks in the loop. Each station will be connected to its own parallel

system of conveyors and stockpile equipment.

5.2.2.1 In-loading Stream

Coal / Iron Ore trains of BOXN wagons will travel along the rail spurs and empty their wagons

into train unloading stations i.e. tippler. Rail lines with dump station for unloading Coal / Iron

Ore in BOBRN wagons have been proposed within the existing Marry-go-round (MGR) of

Dharma Terminal.

The thermal coal from various coal fields in Odisha is expected to be shipped through Dhamra

port and the receipt of such coal will be through BOBRN/ BOXN wagons rakes would require a

different type of facility in which the wagon contents is discharged through a track hopper or

wagon tippler. The coal will be conveyed through the apron feeders or belt feeders or unloader

below the hopper to the conveyor system and finally stacked into the stockyard through a

stacker cum reclaimer.

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

42

5.2.2.2 Stock Yard

Coal / Iron Ore would be transferred from the train unloading stations to the storage area for

stockpiling via stacking conveyors. The combined stacker / reclaimers have a stacking and

reclaiming capability. Coal / Iron Ore would be reclaimed from the storage area and conveyed

to the wharf facilities and ship loaders, as required.

5.2.2.3 Evacuation of Coal / Iron Ore Cargo

Out loading conveyors will discharge the Coal / Iron Ore into surge silo. Two surge silo bins will

be installed near the berth facilities to allow coal conveyed from the coal storage area to be

temporarily stored during hatch changes when loading ships. Further Coal / Iron Ore will be

transferred on Jetty conveyor from the surge silo via conveyor.

When vessel is not on the berth, stockpile area can be used for the storage of Coal / Iron Ore

simultaneously. Tunnel Conveyor can discharge the Coal / Iron Ore on receiving conveyor

which will transfer the Coal / Iron Ore on yard conveyor. For cargo reclaiming from stockyard,

yard conveyor will reclaim the Coal / Iron Ore on dispatch conveyor which will discharge the

Coal / Iron Ore in surge silo. From the surge silo it will discharge on berth conveyor. Berth

conveyor will feed the ship loader through which Coal / Iron Ore will be exported in to vessels.

5.2.3 Multipurpose Material Import / Export

The storage area is designed to handle all type of multi-purpose cargo such as fertilizer, FRM,

steel other bulk cargo, etc. The choice of yard system is determined by the volume of material

to be handled and its stacking heights, and the space available for storage.

5.2.3.1 Specifications of Yard

Yard drainage system design shall be based upon the runoff quantity, the intensity of rainfall

and area of drainage. There shall not be any backflow during high tide-monsoon conditions.

30~40m high lighting mast will be adopted for yard lighting.

5.2.3.2 Operation Modes in Yard

It has been anticipated that the internal transportation of cargo will be carried out using

heavy-duty fork-lift, trucks and other smaller lifting plants, as per requirements. These will

operate to and from railcars and trucks and the identified temporary storage / lifting area of

the storage yard.

5.2.3.3 Design Specification for steel Yard

The storage yard paving shall be suitable for the following vehicles;

Tractor/Trailer trucks suitable for maximum loads of 56 MT

in one layer and a 50 mm thick layer of surfacing wearing course,

5.2.4 Liquid Terminal: Storage and Handling

The Liquid Terminal for proposed master plan will be developed in line with business

requirement of liquid cargo. Tanks would be used to store PoL, Crude oil, non-classified

hydrocarbons, edible and non-edible oils, and other specialty commodities like CBFS, Bitumen,

etc. Other facilities such as Pump House, Manifolds, TLF, TULF, Utility Blocks, Substation,

Control Room, pavement, drainage, lighting and formation level, OWS, ETP is taken into

account while designing the terminal. Necessary arrangements / accessories as per the

standards would be provided at the storage tank for the safe containment of the products. A

cross- country pipe line for transportation of liquid can be provided as and when required. The

pipeline may pass through CRZ area. Alignment of the same will be finalized at the time of

requirement.

5.2.4.1 General Layout

General layout of the Liquid terminal provides following facility.

5.2.7 Container Terminal

The major factors effecting the area requirement for the container terminal are as given

below.

Utilization Factor

Dwell time

Stack height

5.2.7.1 Utilization Factor

Utilization factor of the yard is depends on the RTG size. For Container Terminal facility 7 wide

+ 1 truck lane and 1 over 5 high RTG crane has been selected. However, for this layout and RTG

system 0.7 utilization factors has been assumed.

5.2.7.2 Box Sizes

Presently in India the proportion of 20’ boxes is relatively high as compared to world

standards. This is basically due to existing road infrastructure and also due to lower stowage

factors and hence, the smaller boxes are more economical. Internationally the ratio of TEU /

Box is around 1.4 and there is an on‐going trend towards larger boxes. However, it can be

assumed that in India the ratio of TEU / Box shall ultimately reach 1.3. For a typical

distribution, the critical container weight for mixes of 20’ and 40’ containers has been

considered about 23 MT.

The fire water header is kept pressurized with the jockey pump and on loss of pressure due to

opening of hydrants on the header, the pressure switches activate the pump contacts & main

pump start in sequence to ensure adequate pressure and flow is maintained in the system.

The storage tanks have spray rings with nozzle on shell and foam chamber attached to foam

nozzle of the Tank. The foam chamber is connected by foam water line to the fixed foam Tank

outside the dyke. In the event of fire to the liquid in two of the storage Tanks, the foam system

is activated & foam poured on the top of the burning liquid surface. For the other tanks in the

vicinity of this affected tank, the spray system is activated and the tank surface kept cool.

Further the small water monitors, hydrants help in large quantity of water being poured onto

the Tank roof / shell. Small fires are doused with portable wheeled extinguishers. The manual

call points provided in the various areas are for fire warning. In the event of fire being noticed

by any personnel, the break glass type call button if pressed activates the hooter & alarm at

the fire alarm panel in Pump-house.

liquid, container and other break bulk cargo. Green belt will be developed in 258.9 Ha areas.

6.4 Proposed Social Infrastructure

The proposed project of development will create the marine facility for operation of coal,

liquid, container and other break bulk cargo. Hence there will not be any development of the

social infrastructural activity.

6.5 Connectivity

Please refer point 4.1 for details with respect to connectivity.

6.6 Drinking Water Management

The existing water supply for port operation and drinking purpose is met from existing WTP of

capacity 5 MLD. Water for WTP is drawn from Manthai River near Bansada village.

Considering master plan of the port, future total water demand of 40 MLD will be met by

desalination plant. The treated water from desalination plant will be distributed for port

infrastructure and potable purpose through water supply distribution system.

6.7 Drainage and Sewage System

An adequate drainage system will be provided at the site with separate collection streams to

segregate the storm run-off from roads, open areas, material storage areas, vehicle wash water

and other wastewater streams. Wastewater treatment facilities such as Sewage Treatment

Pre-Feasibility Report for Revised Master Plan of Dhamra

64

Plant (STP) of capacity 2 MLD, Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) of capacity 5 MLD will be

developed outside CRZ limit. The treated sewage will be used for irrigating greenbelt.

Existing Storm water drainage/ Nalas will be rerouted and developed form main outfall drains

to discharge the runoff from Catchment area within and around the port boundary. Same

drains will provide the tidal water to villager’s requirement (if any).

6.8 Power Requirement and Supply / Source

A dedicated 132 kV double circuit, double stringing transmission line of about 65 km long has

been constructed from the existing 220 kV/ 132 kV substation at Bhadrak to 132 kV/ 6.6 kV

substations at Dhamra port premises. Augmentation of existing substation is proposed to

meet the power requirement of Phase-II port expansion. Odisha Power Transmission

Corporation Limited (OPTCL) will provide additional power supply from the Bhadrak substation

to the existing substation in the port premises for the port expansion.

In support of Government of India’s vision for promoting renewable power generation, we will

explore the possibility to utilize wind and solar energy for power generation.

7 Rehabilitation and Resettlement

The Phase-I of the Dhamra Port has been developed in an area of 234 ha and expansion is

proposed in an area which is within the existing port limits adjacent to the Phase I

development.

Area required for the master plan development has been arrived considering the all the

facilities essential for cargo handling operations and also by focusing on the possibility of

limiting the extent of land area requirement. Accordingly, master plan layout is prepared.

Careful site selection ensures that no Habitations are present.

The land proposed for expansion is between high tide and low tide lines and the land belongs

to GoO, where neither habitation no private land is situated. The proposed expansion site

comprises of mostly dry mud and mud without much vegetation and any habitations. Out of

other than phase – II approved majority land will be created by reclamation.

Hence, no Resettlement and Rehabilitation is envisaged during proposed master plan

development of Dhamra Port.

Field operations 1.2

General 1.2.1

The entire Geotechnical investigation work has been divided mainly into two parts.

a) Field works

b) Laboratory Test.

a) Field works determine the types of sub –soil deposit and their characteristics.

b) Laboratory tests helps in determining the relevant geo-technical properties of the sub-

surface deposits leading to finalization of foundation depth of the structure basing on bearing

capacity of the foundation strata as well as the influence zone.

Field work 1.2.2

For investigation of the sub- soil strata, the field Work consists of drilling bore holes to a

required depth from ground level. To carry out field test if it is required to collect undisturbed

and disturbed samples. The bore hole, Locations, depth boring and ground levels are given by

DPCL. The required tools & plants such as Tripod, Augers, Diamond core drilling machines,

winch, flush joint casings, Spilt spoon samplers, then walled samplers core barrels, D.T, T.C &

different type of Diamond bits soil cutter, pumps, Diesel Engines etc. and available for site with

minimum number skilled workers and technical staff for conducting drilling field tests and

collection of samples were carried out as per IS 1892.

Boring 1.2.3

The required Diameter drilling proceed first by manual auger up to the ground water level then

followed by wash boring. Drilling tools are lowered with the help of mechanical winch fixed on

the tripod. During boring drilling fluid like bentonite solution is pushed simultaneously with

boring with driving flush joint casing pipes to keep the borehole preserve for collection of

samples and as well as field testing purpose. The drilling fluid flowing out of cutter bottom

mixed of with the cut soil and flow to the borehole surface setting tank and back to the slurry

tank. Drilling tools are lowered with the help of mechanical which fixed on the tripod. After the

drilling is reached up to the desired depth, pumping of the slurry is continued for 10 to 15

minutes for bottom clearing to conduct field tests and sample collection. All the boring

operation is conducted strictly as per I.S- 1892.

Standard Penetration Test 1.2.4

To evaluate standard strength data such as ‘N’ value (Number of blows per 30cm. of

penetration) the required spilt spoon sampler is conform to IS-9640. The sampler is lowered to

the bottom of borehole of required level with strings of ‘A’ type drill rods. The drive weight of

63.5 kg is hammered with a free fall of 0.75 m through one guide. The number of blows

Sub-soil Investigation Report of Dhamra Port

5

required to detect each 15 cm penetration is recorded. The first 15 cm is considered as seating

drive. The total blows required for the second & third 15 cm. penetration is termed penetrate

resistance ‘N’ where sampler could not penetrate 15 cm. If we applied 50 blows ‘N’ value is

considered as greater than 50 and the depth of penetration is also recorded. The test is carried

out of every 1.5 m depth of boring as per technical specification IS code. After the end of the

test spilt spoon is opened and length and weight of the sample recovered is measured for

calculation of bulk density and samples are preserved for laboratory test.

Sampling 1.3

Undisturbed Soil Sampling 1.3.1

After these samples are collected by thin walled sampler as per as IS: 2132. The sampling

equipment Used, consist of two tier assembly of sample tubes, 45cm in length and 10cm Dia,

fitting at its lower end with a cutting shoe. The sampling assembly was driven by means of a

jarring link to its full length or as far down as found practicable. Immediately after taking an

undisturbed sample in a tube, the adopter head was removed along with the disturbed material,

the visible ends of the sample each are trimmed off any wet disturbed soil. The ends will then

be coated alternately with four layers of just molten wax. More molten wax will then be added

to give a total thickness of not less than 25mm.

Ground Water Level 1.3.2

Ground water table is measured as per IS code / Technical specification.

Laboratory Work 1.3.3

Laboratory tests were carried out as directed by DPCL, in accordance with the procedures

described in the relevant Indian Standard Codes (IS: 2720) of practiced. The laboratory testing

was done on collected material as per relevant IS Codes. The laboratory –testing program

consisted of testing the soil index and strength properties, as well as the consolidation

characteristics. The index tests were performed to determine the soil moisture content, unit

weight ,specific gravity ,gradation characteristics (gravel, sand and fines content –the silt &

clay fraction) and consistency limit. The strength tests were performed to determine the shear

parameters (cohesion, friction angle) of soil: the consolidation tests were performed to find out

the consolidation properties. The index tests were perfumed on disturbed split-spoon soil

samples or undisturbed samples. Except the natural moisture content and dry density tests,

which were performed only on undisturbed soil samples. The strength tests consisted of the

tri-axial unconsolidated – undrained (UU) test, CU and CD tests. The consolidation

characteristics tests were performed on a one-dimensional consolidometer. The strength and

consolidation tests were performed on undisturbed soil samples.

Chemical Analysis 1.3.4

During investigation, soil / ground water samples were collected for chemical analysis to

determine their pH and contents of sulphates and chlorides in them and the results are

tabulated below.

The sieve analysis is carried out in accordance with IS: 2720 (Pt.IV). The results are presented

in the form of Grain size distribution curve. Representative soil sample is obtained from the

bulk soil sample collected or received from site by method of DS and UDS. Quantity of soil

taken will be dependent on the maximum size of particle size present in the soil. Grain size

analysis is done by standard sieves by mechanical means & silt clay size particles are

determined by wet sieve method.

(undrained) tests are carried out to determine the shear parameters. The shear tests are

carried out in accordance with IS: 2720 on saturated samples. For unconsolidated undrained

tri-axial compression test, the undisturbed soil specimen having diameter 38 mm and height to

diameter ration 2 is prepared and placed on the pedestal of the tri-axial cell. The cell is then

assembled with the loading ram and then placed in the loading machine. The cell fluid is

admitted to the cell and the pressure is raised to the desired value. An initial reading of the

gauge measuring axial compression of the specimen is recorded. The test is then commenced

and sufficient number of simultaneous readings of load and compression measuring gauge

being taken. The test is continued until the maximum value of the stress has been passed or

until an axial strain of 20 per cent has been reached. Additional tests are carried out on

identical specimen at confining pressure of 1 kg/cm2, 2 kg/cm

2 and 3 kg/cm

2. The shear

parameters are obtained from the plot of Mohr circles.

Consolidation Test 1.3.10

The consolidation tests were carried out on undisturbed soil specimen in order to determine

the settlement characteristics of soil at different depths. The tests were conducted in

accordance to IS: 2720. From the observations of all incremental pressure, void ratio versus log

(pressure) curve is obtained. The slope of the straight line portion is designated as compression

index cc.

Specific Gravity 1.3.11

Specific gravity of U.D.S samples are determined as per IS - 2720 (part-3).

Voids Ratio 1.3.12

Void ratio of U.D.S samples is calculated.

Differential Free Swell Index 1.3.13

Differential free swell index are determined by U.D.S samples as per IS-2720 (part-40).

Classification of Soil 1.3.14

The soil are properly classified as per the above test results and as per IS- 1498.

Sub-Soil Condition & Properties 1.3.15

The boring records showing the various soils met with are enclosed. These are prepared from

field bore logs after proper modification in the light of laboratory and observation of

disturbance & penetrometer soil sample. The result of the S.P.T tests are given as N values in

these boring record. When N value is greater than 15, modified value of N is calculated as

Ne=15+1/2(N-15)

Non – Cohesive Soil 1.3.16

For non-cohesive soil, it is not possible to take UDS sample. The SPT is taken regular interval.

The C-phi values are determined by direct shear Test.

Effect of Ground Water Table 1.3.17

The ground water table has significant role on the safe bearing capacity of the soil. For

cohesion less soil the safe bearing capacity is reduced by 50%, if the water table is above or

near the bearing surface of the soil. If the water table is below the bearing surface of the soil

at a distance at least equal to the width of the foundation no such reduction is applicable, for

intermediate depth of the water table, proportional of the safe bearing capacity is made.

2 Soil Resistivity Test

For determining the soil resistivity, geophysical surface method of exploration by electrical

resistivity tests were conducted as per IS: 3043-1987.The method is based on injection of

artificially generated high frequency current. The flow of current or the resistivity differs for

various strata depending on their density. Soil strata are distinguished to their resistivity. On

this principle, resistivity of soil was determined.

For subsurface investigation by Electrical Resistivity Method, the instrument used for this

method was D.C. resistivity meter. The instrument is specially designed to measure the

resistivity of layers by the four electrodes method as well as for the self-potential survey. The

instrument consists of mainly two independent sections namely

The current measuring section;

The potential measuring section;

The current & voltage (potential) are supplied to the ground by the respective electrodes.

Wenner’s Four Electrode Method: Accordingly four electrodes are placed along a common line.

Two outside electrodes are used to apply current to the ground, while the inside two are used

to measure voltage (potential difference). Now electric current (I) is applied to outer electrodes

and the apparent potential difference (V) between the two inner electrodes is measured. Then

the four outer electrodes are shifted to greater space at equal distance to each other on the

common line. In the test, current difference, potential difference and the distance between the

electrodes are recorded. From the recorded values, resistivity in Ohm – m for corresponding

distance is calculated based on the following formula. The observed values are annexed in the

test report.

Apparent resistivity (ρ) = F x (R) Ohm. m ( Where, Factor ( F ) = 2πS
