OBSERVATIONS IN CONSOLIDATED

PORT DEVELOPMENT PLAN

PREPARED BY PORT OF ROTTERDAM, SEPT 2007

JNPT predicted to reach capacity by 2014

Upcoming ports may solve capacity problem, but nonecapable to handle several M TEU in near future

Make use of economy of scale, India is a suitable countryfor new major container ports

Investigate whether the new container port needs to take

place in Gujarat or MaharashtraConsidering the large gapin capacity proposed v/s requirement,planning for the new container terminal portshall start soon

MUMBAI DELHI DFC & NEED FOR PORT NORTH OF MUMBAI

Implementation of DFC has already commenced and planning matching port

capacities shall start at least now

Proposed DFC covers min200 km2 Investment Regionand 100 km2 Industrial Area

Will increase cargogeneration in NW

corridor, which need notcongest Mumbai/JNPT

NewPortgeneratingemployment in north part

of Mumbai reduces peakload on city rail and road

CHALLENGES IN DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PORTS

Absence of National Port Policy

Ambiguity in the Approval Process for EnvironmentalClearance, Security Clearance, Selection of Port Developeror Contractor, Concession Agreement, etc.

Rehabilitation of Project Affected Persons

Compliance with new guidelines for EnvironmentalClearance

Very limited stretches with hard rock at deeper contours

near shore resulting in substantial increase of dredgingcosts (Applicable to Maharashtra)

Opposition from local fishermen

Non-commencement of developmentofRewas Port (to south of JNPT) and

Vadhawan Port (to north of Mumbai)are recent examples8

TIME FOR NEW IDEAS FOR NEW PORTS

Artificial island by reclamation

Floating Transshipment Terminals

Shore Connection via Piled Jetties / Immersed Tunnel/Barging, etc.

There are many examples around the world where such

innovative ideas have been adopted

Port Developers need to conduct technicalfeasibility and commercialviability for such option in new port development plans

These issues have been faced in other countries

New and Innovative Technical solutions are required foreach port
