8 PFR 1 PREFEASIBILITY REPORT 1.1 INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION Project location The project site is located at longitude E and latitude N on the west bank of Kandla Creek. Gujarat Maritime Board has its waterfront of 230 m long west bank in the Northern portion of Kandla creek nearer to Phang and Sara Junction. This region has a backup land area of approx. 3, 82, 684 m 2. Among this M/s Ahir Salt have acre land under lease, from Government of Gujarat for salt production. Out of this lease area, acre land will be converted as back up area for jetty development and already applied for conversion of the lease area of acre land for Port purpose, where port limit has already been declared by Government of Gujarat. The application for conversion of land is attached as Annexure Project Proponent M/s. Ahir Salt and Allied Products Pvt. Ltd Nature of Project M/s Ahir Salt and Allied Products Pvt. Ltd. had its own jetty. The company is planning to revive this ruined salt jetty. The existing jetty was owned and operated by M/s Ahir Salt and Allied Product Pvt Ltd and was known as Salt Jetty. The berthing head of the jetty is fully damaged and does not exist, except the two extreme piles in position, hence it was in an abandoned state. Now, the company wants to reconstruct a jetty and proposed to handle solid and liquid cargo Existing cargo handling No cargo handling from the existing structure at present as the structure is in ruined state; earlier Salt was used as cargo from this jetty Proposed Cargo Handling facility The company has proposed to handle 0.30 MMTPA liquid cargo and 0.60 MMTPA solid cargo. The mechanical arrangement will be made for liquid and solid cargo. Backup land will be distributed such way that liquid cargo will be stored at safe place. Necessary storage tank for different type of liquid cargo will be made. The proposed Jetty shall be equipped with two or three high capacity conveyors, 1200 TPH with required width of 1.6 m. In addition, high capacity cranes shall also be provided to move alongside for loading unloading in case of any malfunction of the conveyors. The brief details of the proposed cargos i. e. dry cargos and liquid cargos shall be handled are as under Liquid cargos Class A or Class B or Class C or Unclassified chemicals, Edible and non-edible oil. KADAM ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS SEPTEMBER

9 PFR Crude oil, fuel oil, LPG, Motor Spirit, Kerosene, Aviation fuel, H S D, Lubricating Oil, Butane, Propane, Compressed Natural Gas, Naphtha, Furnace Oil, Low Sulphur heavy stock. Dry cargos Salt, Coal, Sulphur, Rock Phosphate, Minerals, Scrap, Fertilizer, Wooden logs, Other Bulk Cargo Jetty Dimension Jetties, quays, enclosed docks or basins, dock-walls, mooring dolphins or buoys or other types of arrangements are considered as berths, at which vessels are berthed and tied up usually for the purpose of loading or unloading. In the present case, an open type of piled jetty is proposed as a berthing area. Considering the time required for berthing, securing and unloading the cargo through 1000 TPH conveyors (peak capacity 1200 TPH), it is proposed to provide berthing area for two ships at a time at berthing area. The lay out of the jetty is attached as Annexure Length of the berth IS: 4651 (Part V) 1980 recommends that the length of the berthing area should not be less than the length of the design vessel plus 10% subject to a minimum of 15m. Considering a vessel length of about 100 m to 110 m and keeping 2 ship berthing at a time, the length of berth required shall be 230 m to satisfy the above mentioned criteria and hence the same is adopted Width of the berth: As per functional requirement, the width of the berth shall be 25 m Characteristics of vessel operating at the proposed captive Jetty The optimum size of the vessel operating at the proposed captive jetty would be DWT. These Barges/Ships will be m long with m beam width. KADAM ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS SEPTEMBER

10 PFR Table 1: Characteristics of vessel operating at the proposed captive Jetty Vessel Type Vessel Characteristics Dead Weight Tonnage Overall Length Beam Draught Cargo Vessel DWT m m 4.5 m Dimensions of the approach channel: Kandla creek channel having 600 m to 1300 m width and 6 meter depth, and within 13 km length the approach channel will be joining the Arabian Sea from the proposed jetty location Turning Circle / Manoeuvring Area This is a water area usually near the marine facility meant for turning ships around or carrying out manoeuvers typically for the purpose of berthing or un-berthing. Generally, a diameter of 2 times the length of the largest barge is taken for safe manoeuvres Dredging Requirement The capital dredging is estimated in total dredging area of 9596 m 2 with an average depth of 3 meters will be m 3. The maintenance dredging would be approximately 2000 m 3 once in every three years Proposed cargo handling methods Planning to install two mobile harbor cranes at the Jetty for loading/unloading from Ship. Dry cargo will be handled from Ship to concerned open plot by truck/tipper. The import/export liquid cargo will be handled only through pipe line from Ship to concerned terminal and also from terminal to Ship Proposed Cargo storage facilities The storage Capacity will be 24,759 KL for liquid cargo and Solid/dry cargo capacity will be 6, 00,000 MT on open plot as well as warehouses.

11 PFR Need of the project and its importance The project site is located near one of the main liquid and solid cargo terminals of Gujarat, Kandla port terminal. This proposed cargo terminal will help to divert some volume of the cargo handling through smaller ships( dwt) from the Kandla port so that the speed in cargo handling will be quick, there by the demurrages paid as waiting at major port can be saved Demand and Supply As existing near one of the major port terminal Kandla Port, there will be enough opportunity for diversion of smaller ships ( DWT) from the main port to the this proposed jetty Export Possibility Export possibility of liquid and dry cargo can be explored after the commissioning of this jetty Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) Employment generation will be both the way approx nos. 1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Type of the project Revival of the existing ruined salt jetty infrastructure Location details The project site will be located at longitude E and latitude N along the west bank of Kandla Creek. In the water front 230 m long under the jurisdiction of Gujarat Maritime Board in the Northern portion of Kandla creek nearer to Phang and Sara Junction. In this area M/s Ahir Salt have acre land allotted by Government of Gujarat for f salt production. Out of this land, acre land will be converted for the purpose of backup area for the jetty.
