OVERVIEW Mundra Port is the largest privately developed port in the country and a multi-sector SEZ (special economic zone).

It is spread over 100 sq. km. in the Northern Gulf of Kutch, Gujarat, on the western coast of India.

The port is located enroute major maritime routes, and serves as one of the countrys most convenient gateways for exim trade, specially for cargo bound west for Europe, Africa, America and Middle East.

Its proximity to land locked hinterland of North and North-West India gives it a strategic advantage to service the Industry and Trade that accounts for nearly 70% of the countrys total international cargo.

Port Infrastructure: BerthsThe multi-purpose terminals contain nine berths of a total 1.8 thousand meters long with alongside depths ranging from 9 to 16.5 meters.Berth 1 is 275 meters long with alongside depth of 15.5 meters and can accommodate vessels to 75 thousand DWT.

Berth 2 is 180 meters long with alongside depth of 13 meters and can accommodate vessels to 30 thousand DWT.

Accommodating vessels to 60 thousand DWT, Berths 3 and 4 are each 225 meters long; Berth 3 has alongside depth of 14 meters, and Berth 4 has alongside depth of 12 meters.

Berths 5 and 6 are each 250 meters long with alongside depth of 14 meters, and both can accommodate vessels to 150 thousand DWT

Berths 7 and 8 are each 175 meters long with alongside depth of 12 meters and can accommodate vessels to 40 thousand DWT.

The Barge Berth is 80 meters long with alongside depth of 6 meters and capacity for vessels of 2500 DWT.

Apart form this there are 3 mechanized Import cargo berths

The container terminals at Mundar Port have a combined infrastructure consisting of 2.1km of quay length

Port Infrastructure: Storage

The Port has 225,000 sq. metres of closed godowns and 3,150,000 sq. metres of open storage yards for storage of import or export cargo within the port premises.

The Liquid Terminal consists of 97 tanks of different sizes and attributes with a total storage capacity of 425,000 kilolitres for storage of various liquid commodities.

The steel yard is a steel storage area spread over 120,000 sq metres and consists of equipment for handling steel cargo

Fertilizer Cargo Complex (FCC) is a fertiliser handling facility, has 2 operational lines with 44 bagging machines with a capacity to bag 660 nos. of 50-kg bags per minute and a capacity to load and evacuate 810 rakes per day i.e. 25,600 tonnes per day.

Port Infrastructure: Coal terminal

Dimension: 1125 m Berth with a depth of 19 -22 m.

Direct berthing: Up to 220,000 DWT vessel.

Total terminal capacity: 35 MT

Comprehensive Mechanical Handling System: 6000 TPH/Berth

Commercial operation started on October 2010

Handled highest Coal volume 36.21 MMT during FY 2013-14 surpassing Paradip Port 32.07 MMT

Port Infrastructure: Single Point Moorings

Only for those vessels which cannot be docked at the port

Mainly petroleum products are loaded/unloaded through SPM

There are 2 single point moorings for crude oil imports.

The SPM facility offers a draft of 32 meters

Commodities Handled:Mundra Port handles a variety of cargo like:

Coal Wheat Fertilizer Minerals & Ores SteelEdible Oils Chemicals Petroleum Products Automobiles Crude Oil.

Other Infrastructure Facilities: ConnectivityRail: Mundra Port Ltd. is connected with the Indian Railway network by a privately developed and maintained 76-km rail line from Mundra to Adipur. The rail infrastructure is capable of handling 130 trains per day including double stack container trains and long-haul trains. Mundra crossed 10,000 loaded rakes mark by handling 10,211 loaded rakes in FY 2013-14

Road Mundra Port is connected to the hinterland in Northern and Western parts of India through the National Highway 8A & State Highways 6 & 48. The port has constructed a four-lane Rail-over-Bridge (ROB) in the proximity of the port to ensure that two modes of transportation i.e. road & rail, do not impede each others movement.

Air: Mundra Airport is a licensed airport in Private Category withAir Traffic Controlwhich is operated by theAirport Authority of India. The nearest commercial airports are atBhuj(65km) andKandla(60km).

Pipelines: Mundra Port is connected to the northern hinterland with three cross-country pipelines. One feeds the IOCL Panipat refinery, second crude oil pipeline feeds Bhatinda refinery and third is a white oil line which feeds the national capital region.

FUTURE PLANS OF APSEZSOUTH BASIN DEVELOPMENTSThe basin on the southern side of Navinal Island and adjacent to existing Mundra Multi Purpose Terminal will be developed in a phased manner. Presently, 810 meters of berth length has been constructed.

Further development of 550 meters of additional berth length is under progress. The new berth length shall be in line and to the West of the present berths.

OTHER IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE OFFINGPure Car Carrier/ Pure Car Truck Carrier (PCC / PCTC) berth with appropriate car parking space.

Construction of dedicated LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) berth.

Addition of two more crossing stations along the 64 KM privately developed railway line to increase the rakes handling capacity from 32 to 40 rakes a day. Double landing of the 64 km railway line in phased manner.

The existing road network is also being upgraded.
