First phase of Dhamra Port "ready in three years"
Project Updates - July 4, 2007
The Hindu newspaper reports that Dhamra port in India, which is being constructed by Dhamra Port Company Ltd (DPC), a joint venture between Tata Steel and Larsen & Toubro, will be ready for operation in three years.
"On completion of the first phase work in three years, the port will have two berths with a total capacity to handle annually 25 million tonnes of bulk cargoes like iron ore and coal," said the Hindu.
“Barring unforeseen developments, Dhamra port will be commissioned in April 2010,” said S K Mohapatra, CEO of DPC.
Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick India Pvt Ltd, the Indian arm of the UK-based Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick, has been appointed project management consultant and a consortium of eight banks, headed by IDBI, has concluded the financial closure.
Dredging will be undertaken by International Seaport Dredging Ltd, a joint venture between L&T and Belgium’s Dredging International.
The cost of dredging, covering both capital and maintenance dredging, is estimated at Rs 600 crore. The scope of work will include dredging of an 18km long channel and removal of about 60 million cubic metres of dredged spoilt over a period of three years.
