- 2024: Expanded import volumes (3x), increased vessel types such as Capesizes, and a new port (Dhamra)
- 2030: Projected significant growth in import volumes (4x), along with the addition of increased vessel capacity.
Freight Classification
- Vessel Classification: Bulk carrier classification is based on the vessel size (DWT), with Handysize, Handymax, Supramax, Panamax, Post-Panamax, Capesize, and VLCC being major categories.
- Cargo Loading: Cargo loading capacity is a function of vessel DWT, tank top capacity and cargo loading guidelines.
Port Infrastructure and Operations
- Port Infrastructure: The webinar detailed various types of port infrastructure (ship unloaders, grab unloaders, and harbour mobile cranes) and provided visual examples (aerial view of Dhamra Port).
- Steel Cargo Operations: Images and descriptions illustrated steel cargo loading operations.
- Port Overview: Different regional discharge ports are highlighted. Including, but not limited to, locations such as Haldia, Dhamra, Paradip and other ports. Specific data regarding rail freight, vessel handling capabilities, and availability are included, along with details on operations challenges and how they are addressed.
Coastal Shipment - Benefits
