Coal Terminal at Wandh
Two Mega Thermal Power Plants with total capacity in excess of 8600 MW are being constructed in Mundra Region. The plants require very high volumes of imported coal, up to 30 Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum (MMTPA). In addition other dry volumes such as Iron Ore etc are also to be imported for the industries planned in the vicinity of power plants.
Proposed Terminal site is about 10 Nautical Miles west of the existing Terminals of Mundra Port.
- Two deep water offshore berths in Phase I Development and one additional berth will be added in Phase II
- Two sets of Stack Yards for Coal, for Iron Ore and for miscellaneous dry bulk.
South Basin Development
The basin on the southern side of Navinal Island and adjacent to existing MPT-I will be developed in phased manner. Since Phase II development projects shall be continuing over a longer period for sake of convenience this phase is further split into two sub-phases i.e. Phase-IIA and Phase-IIB.
It is envisaged that Phase – II A development will be completed by year 2010, which shall include construction of Break-waters, Dredging, Reclamation, Basin container terminal –I; two RO-RO cum service berths, one Port craft berth and back up facilities for these Terminals, by way of container Yard, Rail Sidings, Open Paved Area and requisite buildings, Utilities etc.
Other Developments
- Pure Car carrier/ Pure Car Truck carrier (PCC / PCTC) berth with appropriate car parking space.
- 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 lanning of the 64 km railway line in phased manner.
- Construction of dedicated LNG berth.
The existing road network is also being upgraded. The existing 10 km long external two-lane road connecting Mundra road network to Port is being converted to a 4 lane road of which 1.6 km length is already completed. The remaining 8.4 km is under advance stage of construction. To ease the ever-increasing flow and streamlining of traffic, the company has decided in principle to construct a fly-over bridging the Mundra Port Railway Crossing.
