  • 1. Executive Summary

    M/s Adani Hazira Port Private Limited (AHPPL) has set up multipurpose port at Hazira. Port and related infrastructure facilities have been developed as per EC & CRZ clearance of 2003, 2007 and 2013. Master plan includes total 12 multi-purpose berths out of which 7 berths (two container berths, one coal berth, one liquid berth and three multipurpose berths) were proposed to be developed in first 5 years (2012-2017)

    Currently two container berths and three multipurpose berths are operational; one liquid berth is under commission stage. Construction of balance six multi-purpose berths as per the master plan is yet to start. Back up infrastructure is developed for handling and storage of multipurpose cargo including liquid.

    AHPPL now propose an expansion of port through outer harbor development and also conversion of existing berths to multipurpose. Outer harbor will consist of total 19 multi-purpose berths which can handle all kinds of dry cargo, project cargo, container cargo, liquid cargo and Cryogenic Gas upto -160°C.

    Total 521.4 Ha back up area will be reclaimed by using dredge material for creating back up infrastructure, utilities, amenities, storage and other ancillary facilities. Total Dredging will be 50 Million m3 for creating maneuvering channel, basin and jetty with (-) 21 m CD draft. Construction of port basin in 189 Ha area. Rail sidings and road networks will be used for cargo evacuation.

    Desalination plant of 100 MLD capacity is proposed with intake and outfall channel. STP of 4 MLD capacity and ETP of 5 MLD capacity will be developed in phased manner.

    Cumulative configuration (already approved and proposed expansion) of the Adani Hazira Port is given below

    a) Number of berth : 31 Nos (existing 12 and expansion 19) b) Cargo Handling Capacity : 234 MMTPA (Existing 84 and expansion 150) c) Area of the project : 1583.67 Ha. (Existing 873.27 and expansion 710.4) d) Water requirement : 46.5 MLD (Existing 16.5 and Expansion 30 MLD) e) Desalination Capacity : 115 MLD (Existing 15 MLD and expansion 100MLD) f) Power requirement : 940 MWh/Day (Existing 240 and Expansion 700)

  • 2 Introductionoftheproject/Backgroundinformation

    2.1 IdentificationofprojectandprojectproponentBack Ground information: The Gujarat Government designated coastal stretch of Hazira as one of the appropriate locations for development of port during 1964 in the State of Gujarat. During 1997, the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) on behalf of the Government of Gujarat invited applications on the basis of an internationally competitive bid for development of an all-weather, multi-cargo port at Hazira.

    GMB and Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB) evaluated a number of proposals related to capability, technical and commercial aspects. A consortium led by Shell Gas B.V. was subsequently awarded with the consent of the Gujarat Government, right to develop the said project in the year November 1999. Shell Gas B.V is wholly owned subsidiary of the Royal Dutch/ Shell Group of Companies.

    In the year October 2000, two project companies, namely Hazira LNG Private Limited (HLPL) and Hazira Port Private Limited (HPPL) were incorporated in Gujarat, to provide the investment vehicles for the port project and the LNG receiving terminal.

    HPPL through its global bidding process selected Adani Port and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZL) for development of Multi-Cargo Port at Hazira through its Letter of Intent issued on 19th November, 2009.

    The development of Hazira Port has been planned for two phases: Phase 1A and 1B. Phase 1A was developed exclusively for handling LNG cargo by HPPL and Phase 1B for development of Multi-Cargo Port (Non LNG) by APSEZL, through sub-concession agreement signed between HPPL and Adani Hazira Port Private Limited (AHPPL). Under Phase 1B, it was proposed to develop 11 berths for handling containers and backup operations, bulk and general cargo with stack yard and storage facilities for which CRZ / Environmental clearance was granted by Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF&CC), Government of India Moe*CC vide letter No. J-16011 / 11 / 2003-IA-III on date 26th June 2003

    In year 2011 AHPPL has approached to MoEF&CC for addition of one liquid berth with supporting and minor alteration in the port basin and layout. Subsequently on 3rd May, 2013 MoEF&CC has accorded environment and CRZ clearance to Adani Hazira Port Private Limited for total 12 berths out of which 7 berths (two container berths, one coal berth, one liquid berth and three multipurpose berths) will be developed in first 5 years.

    M/s Adani Hazira Port Private Limited (AHPPL) is the project proponent. AHPPL is intending to develop, construct, operate, and maintain the multi-cargo terminals and related infrastructure at the Outer Harbour location of the Hazira Port.

    Based on the forecasted cargo inflow, AHPPL proposes to develop outer Harbour facilities with total 19 berths as per the master plan.

    The conceptual master plan for proposed development at outer harbour has been attached in Annexure – A of this report. The expansion will be carried out in phases subject to commercial viability and based on the cargo ramp up.

  • 2.2 BriefdescriptionofnatureofprojectProposed project will fall under the category 7(e) Ports and Harbours of the EIA notification 2006. Project will develop in two phases.

    2.3 Needoftheprojectanditsimportancetothecountryandorregion

    2.3.1 National Scenario

    The Indian Economy has been on a growth trajectory since the process of liberalization started in the year 1991. Various sectors and new models of development have been adopted to address the basic infrastructure needed to match the growing GDP of the country. Among many sectors of infrastructure, Sea Port infrastructure are grossly inadequate for the nation to meet the growing challenges which in turn successfully integrate Indian Trade with the Global economy in terms of productivity, efficiency, state-of-art technology and surpass global developments in the Shipping sector.

    Realizing this need, the Government of India has given adequate thrust to Sea Port infrastructure by setting targets to reach 2600 Million Tons (MT) capacity by the year 2016- 2017. The world's proven natural gas reserves as on January 2010 are estimated at 190.16 Trillion Cum, of which almost 75 % are located in the Middle East and Eurasia.

    The developing nations like China and India are aggressively adopting natural gas to fuel their industry and to make their economic growth more environmentally sustainable. According to experts, the world LNG trade is expected to grow at a rate of 6% over the period from 2011- 2020.

    2.3.2 Maritime Agenda 2020

    Maritime Agenda 2020 published by Ministry of Shipping, Govt. Of India has made certain estimations with respect to the traffic and capacity addition in the maritime states of India. It is estimated that the eight maritime states will increase their cargo traffic (non-major ports) from 288.8 MMTPA in 2010-11 to 981.93 MMTPA in 2016-17 i.e. the end of 12th Five Year Plan. By 2019-20 it is estimated that the cargo traffic for the states will be 1269.59 MMTPA. The following table provides the traffic projections for each of the maritime states.

    Table: Traffic Projections of Maritime States

    State Projected Traffic (MMT) 2016-17 2019-20 Gujarat 438 565 Maharashtra 124.3 172.7 Goa 14.9 15.35 Karnataka 51.95 67.4 Andhra Pradesh 162 202 Tamil Nadu 35.2 45.4 Kerala 5.51 16.74 Orissa 150.1 185

  • As per the above table it is evident that the cargo addition in volume terms will be more for Gujarat as compared to other states till the year 2016-17 with a CAGR of 17%. Gujarat will continue to hold the dominant position in the future for attracting traffic for the maritime states.

    The following table shows the commodity wise and year wise cargo projection for Gujarat in the Maritime Agenda 2020. The table gives an accurate picture of projections of the major commodities. These projections dovetail with the projections of the AHPPL for outer harbour development. However, AHPPL has also conducted a demand based cargo projection in order to ascertain the probability of the traffic projections made in the Maritime Agenda 2020.

    Note: 1 TEU is taken equivalent to 12.5 MT

    2.3.3 Drivers for Cargo traffic Growth at Hazira:

    Gujarat’s port sector has substantially consolidated itself in the last decade and now is favorably poised to tap opportunities emerging from the DFC, DMIC, SEZ and SIR’s. The demand for commodities handled at ports would go up by five and half times largely driven by liquid and gas, Containers, Coal etc. Success of “Vibrant Gujarat 2015” has manifested the Confidence of the investor in Gujarat’s economic prosperity and port sector.

    As per Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board (GIDB) vision 2020 report Gujarat’s port is projected to handle 760 MMT in 2019-20. This includes an estimate of cargo arising from proposed SIR’s and Industrial areas in the DMIC.

    West Coast Port has a strategic advantage for attracting the cargoes from the hinterland. The hinterland can be demarcated as North India (Haryana, NCR region, Punjab), West India (Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra), Central India (Madhya Pradesh)

    Based on the in-house assessed traffic figures, the target commodities (Coal, Steel Product, Liquid and Cryogenic Gas up to -160°C, Iron Ore, Project Cargo, other dry bulk and break bulk cargo, Containers etc.) from the hinterland shall be as follows.

  • 3.3 Detailsofalternativesitesconsideredandthebasisofselectingtheproposedsite

    Since Hazira port has already been established and operational, for expansion of the port no other site selection criterion has been considered.

    3.4 SizeandmagnitudeofoperationSelection of a maximum design vessel size for the cargo configuration of a proposed facility is among the most important inputs in the planning and design of facilities. However, in actual practice barges for transportation of the cranes may be carried in different sizes of vessels depending upon the availability of vessels for the transportation. Hence, it is also useful to have an idea of the range of vessel sizes that would call at the proposed facility.

    3.4.1 Design size vessel The Terminal has been planned for the following ship related data.

    Table: Design Vessel Size

    Sr. No. Cargo Vessel Size LOA in m

    Beam in m

    Loaded Draft in m

    1 Bulk Carrier 180000 Dwt 335 45 18.0

    2 Container 18500 TEU 400 60 16.0

    3 Liquid Tanker 150000 Dwt 298 48.1 17.4

    4 Multipurpose 100000 Dwt 255 39.2 15.2

    3.4.2 Conceptual Layout Planning For conceptualizing layout plans for the proposed facility, the requirements like navigation parameters, number of berths, cargo handling facilities, operational parameters, etc. have been identified. Based on above, suitable locations within the proposed port site have been identified where these facilities are to be developed.

    The port layout shall aim at maximum operability and expansion potential. The Container, Liquid, bulk and multipurpose berth location has been selected after a feasibility and master plan study. The primary objective of the planning is to ensure an average 22 hours per day, 7 days per week operability.

    The water area - the plan, dimensions and the water depths (Draft) in the entrance/access channel in outer harbour, common maneuvering basin and at the berths, would be sufficient to permit the largest design vessels as specified above in terms of L, B and D (LOA, Beam and fully laden Draft) to be serviced without causing the vessels to take undue risks.

  • 3.4.3 Under keel Clearance and Water Depth The depth in the channel should be adequately greater than the static draft of the vessels using the waterway to ensure safe navigation. Generally, the depth in the channel is determined by:

    Vessel’s loaded draft Trim or tilt due to the loading within the holds Ship’s motion due to waves, such as pitch, roll and heave Character of the sea bottom : soft or hard Wind influence of water level and tidal variations.

    Based on the PIANC guidelines, the following general recommendations on under keel clearances shall be adopted to determine the depths for dredging:

    Open sea area (in outer approach channel) : for those exposed to strong and long stern or quarter swell, where speed may be high, gross under-keel clearance should be about 20% of the maximum draft of ships.

    Channel: for sections exposed to strong and long swell, gross under-keel clearance should be about 15% of the draft.

    Channel: less exposed to swell, gross under-keel clearance should be about 10% of the draft.

    Maneuvering and berthing areas for those exposed to swell (without full protection of breakwater): gross under-keel clearance should be about 10 % to 15 % of the draft.

    Maneuvering and berthing areas protected (full protection by breakwater): gross under-keel clearance to be about 7 % of the draft.

    Based on the above, the under keel clearances for different vessel sizes have been determined and added to the draft of the vessel in order to arrive at the required dredged depth for safe handling of the vessel size. It should be noted that the allowances indicated hereunder can be considered as design cases for approach wave conditions. Outside the monsoon, the conditions will be more favorable. The required allowances for vessel dynamics will then be less and hence arrivals will be possible with smaller under-keel clearances.

    3.4.4 Dredge Depth The dredged depths provided at different ship maneuvering and service areas, and at berths, are worked out based on the figures indicated below in Table. The MLWS is +1.37 m CD. To ensure sufficient keel clearance during majority of the low spring tides, a value of 1.0 m was selected for arrival conditions.

    However, the following depths are planned in the various part of the port

    Dock Basin: (-) 21.0m CD (including 0.5 m for siltation allowance, sounding accuracy, dredging tolerance, etc.)

    Common Maneuvering Area (Turning Circle): (-) 21.0m CD (including 0.5 m siltation and other allowance)

    Access Channel : (-) 21.0m CD

    Suitable sand trap in the Access Channel shall be provided at the mouth of harbour to reduce siltation. The required depth in front of berth has to be maintained. Cargo will be handled with mechanized handling system, so cargo spillage is minimized.

    3.4.5 Turning Circle The port contains a turning basin with adequate dimensions for the maneuvering of a tug-assisted design vessel size during berthing and un-berthing. As per IS: 4651 (Part V), where vessels turn by free interplay of the propeller and assisted by tugs, the minimum diameter of the turning circle should be 1.7 to 2.0 times (1.70 for protected locations and 2.0 for exposed locations) the length of the largest vessel to be turned. In some location where the winds are not strong, turning circle radius is as small as 1.5 times the length of the largest ship. In case of the Port, the largest calling vessel is 18500 TEU container vessels with an overall length of 400 m. These ships would be assisted with tugs in maneuvering in the approach channel, in the harbour basin and to and from the berth. However the turning circle area is semi exposed during the monsoon. Therefore a turning circle diameter of 700 has been provided.

  • 3.4.6 Channel Alignment and Width The channel is aligned considering the following aspects:

    Predominant wind, wave and current directions Channel aligned to reach the required deep water contour in the shortest possible

    distance and aligned along the deepest available bed depths (to reduce the quantity of dredging required)

    3.4.7 Width of Outer Harbour Dock Basin The proposed berths in the outer harbour basin have been planned inside a slip (or a dock like structure). This slip is called as Outer Harbour Basin. The design beam of the largest vessel in the slip is 60.0 m.

    For the liquid vessels, container vessels and bulk carrier the desirable width of the dock for two sided berth is 60 + 4B + 50 m (60m +4 x 60 m + 50 m = 350 m). Also as per IS – 4651 Part – v, the width of the basin shall not be less than 4 times the beam of design vessel plus 45 m. However, 400 m width has been provided to suffice the smooth maneuvering of vessels.

    3.4.8 Breakwater Protection For the protection of the port, the existing basin where proposed developments are planned is sheltered from currents and waves by a breakwater. This has increased tranquility. The alignment and orientation of the existing breakwater has been determined by following.

    Bottom depth contours Approach channel Nautical aspects Wave, current climate and Sediment transport Provision of sufficient harbour space within the port. Operability in channel

    As the proposed development is in the outer harbour area the shore protection work / breakwater has been aligned to protect the proposed reclamation area. The breakwater alignment has been decided based such that waves will have minimum effect on the jetty / berthing area. However, adequacy of the breakwater protection will be confirmed through wave tranquility studies.

    3.4.9 Berth Orientation and Configuration The berths in the harbour will be oriented so as to have minimum downtime. The berth configuration is governed by the type of cargo handled and the characteristics of the design vessel sizes. The concept has been designed on the basis of minimum and easy execution of maintenance.

    The berth will be constructed with Pre-cast RCC beams and slab supported on bored cast in situ piles or by other method which is found technically efficient during detail engineering. Berths will be constructed after completion of dredging in the berth pocket area and simultaneous reclamation in back up yard.

    There will be multipurpose berths inside the dock, with continuous type structures which will be needed to support the travelling cranes. The spacing of fenders will be such that the berths have the flexibility to handle smaller bulk cargo vessels as well.

  • The length of the berth area and the berth depends upon the dimensions of the largest ship. However, for container vessel 400 m long and other dry cargo vessel 335 m long has been considered for the outer harbour basin. Considering 30 m edge distance and 30 m distance between two vessels total length of the jetty has been worked out. All the berths will be designed for the same set of maximum specifications to allow all berths to handle all type of vessels. The fenders and mooring arrangement shall be designed to allow berthing and mooring of the entire range of vessels sizes for which the facilities have been planned.

    3.4.10 Harbour Crafts All vessel-handling operations inside the port area will be assisted by tugs. The number and capacity of the tugs will depend upon the size of the largest vessel, and number of vessels to be handled. The effect of wind on container vessels is highest. The largest vessel likely to be handled will be 18500 TEU container vessels. There will be requirement of 3 numbers of tugs which will be sufficient to handle higher size of vessels up to 18500 TEU or 1,80,000 DWT bulk vessels. However, exact numbers of tugs would be determined based on past operational experience. Tug boats shall be used for maintenance of the navigational AIDS, channel Buoys and fenders, etc.

    3.4.11 Navigational aspects As a prerequisite for planning the layout of a port for the required facilities, it is essential to set the basic criteria for the design of various components like navigational aspects to handle different types of vessels that are likely to call at the Port and for loading / unloading operations. These conditions are related to the marine environmental conditions at the location.

    3.4.12 Protection against Waves Location of the proposed jetties and turning circle for the outer harbour development has been decided based on following factors.

    Predominant wave direction and protection from existing breakwater Water area requirement Tranquility from the existing breakwater Stopping distance for the vessel

    3.4.13 Navigation Channel Dimensions Existing channel alignment is oriented considering the following aspects:

    The channel is aligned in a straight line as far as possible. The channel is oriented so as to reach the deep-water contours in shortest

    possible distance.

    Dimensions of the navigation channel are dependent on the vessel size, the behavior of the vessel when sailing through the channel, the environmental conditions (winds, currents and waves) and the channel bottom conditions. Channel design primarily involves the determination of the safe channel width and depth for the dimensions of the design vessel.

    However, the final alignment of the approach channel will be decided after hydraulic study and alignment will be modified if required.

  • 3.5 RawmaterialandProductdetailsBeing a logistic industry port does not use the raw material for its operation and there is not product as such. Port is just providing services for handling, storage and evacuation of the import/export cargo. However the construction of the port and supporting facilities would require following as basic raw material for the expansion plan.

    Coarse aggregate – 8.0 MMT Fine aggregate (Sand) – 5.0 MMT Stone – 4.0 MMT Dredged material for reclamation – 50 Mcum

    However, Basic raw material for construction is available in near vicinity of Port. Ready mix concrete will be made out of the basic raw material on site itself. Batching plants of respective size and capacity as per requirement will be installed at the site.

    3.6 Availabilityofwater,energy/poweranditssource3.6.1 Water Availability Water required during construction activity will be met through the bowsers and existing water supply system. Water requirement during construction activity will be approximately 2.0 MLD. Water requirement during operation phase (30 year Master Plan) will be approximately 30 MLD which will be met by proposed desalination plant.

    The maximum water withdrawal will be 100 MLD for desalination plant (for 40 MLD output). However, water demand will be increased gradually as the operation ramps up. The reject outfall quantity from desalination plant will be approximate 60 MLD.

    3.6.2 Power Availability The electric power requirement during construction phase will be approximately 9000 kWh/day which will be sourced from the existing power source (GEB). Electricity requirement during operation phase will be around 7,00,000 kWh/day. It will also be sourced from GEB. During operation phase, power back up in form of DG sets will be available to the tune of approximately 25 MVA. Diesel consumption for the same will be to the tune of 200 Lit/hr.

  • 4 SiteAnalysis

    4.1 ConnectivityRoad connectivity from the Port to its identified hinterland (market) is a key ‘competitive advantage’ factor vis-à-vis competing ports in the Western India region, particularly with respect of multi - purpose cargoes. In this respect the Port has a key strategic advantage since it is located just 40 km away from National Highway No. 8 (NH-8). Country’s major cargo traffic plies on this highway. Further the Port is just 25 km from Surat city. Hazira peninsula houses country’s largest cluster of industries and is within 10km of the Port. In many ways road connectivity will be the key to success for the multipurpose terminal at the Port.

    4.1.1 Road connectivity The road connectivity for the Port can be defined in terms of logistics corridors, namely North Corridor & South Corridor-

    North Corridor- : 46 km link, from the Port -Mora Junction- Navi Pardi (NH-8). Of the total 46 km corridor, first 26 km starting from the Port is proposed to be developed by GoG as ‘Escape Corridor” for Hazira peninsula and the balance 20 km of the state highway connecting NH8 at Navi Pardi.

    South Corridor (NH-6) -: 42 km link, from Hazira Port-Mora Junction-Icchapore Jn-Sachin SEZ-Palsana. The corridor is part of NH-6, starting from the Port.

    Presently road based traffic to the Port is supported by the road network of South Corridor.

    4.1.2 Railway connectivity The location of the Port, about 25 km from Surat, gives a strategic advantage to the port operator in terms of rail connectivity. Surat is located on the main broad gauge rail route between Delhi and Mumbai that caters to the key Delhi-JNPT container traffic. This rail route is double-track, fully electrified and designed for fast trains. The current transit time of CONCOR trains moving between JNPT and Delhi is around 40 hours. A new rail siding connecting the Port to Delhi-Mumbai rail corridor will lead to a transit time of about 30 hours. Thus the Port can offer a saving of about 10 hours of transit time, as compared to JNPT for North India traffic. This gives a potential saving for the users of the Port.

    The Port currently lacks the rail connectivity to this Delhi-Mumbai trunk route. Hence it is imperative to have rail connectivity between the Port and Delhi-JNPT route. A 36 km rail-link between the Port and Kosad junction on Bombay-Delhi trunk route is planned by RVNL, who is leading the implementation of the rail-link. At GoG level, various alignments have been studied and final alignment is decided for the Port rail connectivity.

    4.2 Landform,landuseandlandownership4.2.1 Land Use The land used for the proposed outer harbour development is reclaimed land and hence, does not have any vegetation on it.

  • 4.2.2 Land Ownership The reclaimed land is intertidal land and hence, it is in the ownership of GMB. The permission of using this land for outer harbour development is in process with GMB.

    The proposed development will consist of material handling area, cargo storage/backup area, operational and utility area, internal connectivity, drainage, greenbelt and buildings etc.

    4.3 Topography(alongthemap)The proposed development of outer harbour has been planned on southern side of the existing Hazira port which is reclaimed land and has average (-) 4.0 m CD to (+) 5.0 m CD level. However, detailed survey for the location of outer harbor has not been done. The actual levels of reclaimed land will be evaluated based on the topography survey during the EIA studies.

  • 4.7.7 Cyclones Between 1877 and 1982 (105 years) eight cyclones hit the region, out of which six were of severe nature with wind speeds exceeding 24.2 m/s. This indicates on an average, one severe cyclone every 13 to 17 years. The Met ocean survey campaign includes a listing of Tropical Resolving Storms (TRS) passing Hazira within 400 km in the 20 years between 1980 and 1999. TRS are associated with the onset of the SW-monsoon and the NE-monsoon, and generally occur in the period May/June and October/November. The following table summarizes the TRS events recorded:

    Cyclones can be expected in all seasons, but mainly occurs during October and November on the west coast. Based on the available records for the period 1877 - 1982, a total 8 cyclones struck the region. Of these, 6 had wind speeds exceeding 87 kmph. The monthly distribution of wind speed based on ship-reported data shows a predominant direction of 230° - 280° during the SW monsoon period, with wind speeds exceeding 14.5 m/sec nearly 1 % of the time. The distribution also shows that in a year, for 88 % of the time, the wind speed is below 8.75 m/sec.

    4.8 SocialInfrastructureavailableHazira peninsula is an industrial cluster. The principal industries located here are Essar Industrial Complex, ONGC gas processing complex, KRIBCHO Fertilizer Complex, L&T – Shipyard and Industrial Fabrication Yards and Reliance etc. There are school, dispensaries, places of worship, market in the nearby localities.

    5 PlanningBrief

    5.1 PlanningconceptFor conceptualizing layout plans for the proposed facility, the requirements like navigation parameters, number of berth, cargo handling facilities, operational parameters, etc. has been identified. Based on above, suitable locations within the proposed port site have been identified where these facilities are to be developed.

  • The basic navigational needs for servicing the vessels are as given below.

    Sufficient water depths and widths in approach channel Harbour basin and jetty for the cargo handling operation Tranquility conditions Adequate stopping distance for vessels of largest size Sufficient water area for easy maneuverability of vessels throughout the year Efficient fenders and mooring systems, etc.

    5.1.1 Navigational As a prerequisite for planning the layout of the proposed outer harbour development of the Hazira port and related backup facility, it is essential to set the basic criteria for the design of various components like navigational aspects to handle different types of vessels likely use for the transportation of cargo. These conditions are related to the marine environmental conditions at the location.

    The alignment of the breakwater has been conceptualized based on the existing available data and same will be realigned or modified (if required) based on the outcome of modeling study.

    5.1.2 Protection against Waves For providing tranquility conditions in the existing approach channel, in the proposed basin and also for the smooth cargo operations, necessary slope protection work beneath the proposed jetty against predominant marine conditions will be provided. The breakwater planned in the proposed development will suffice the requirement of the protection against wave.

    5.1.3 Navigation Channel Dimensions The channel alignment will be oriented considering the following aspects:

    The channel is aligned in a straight line as far as possible. The channel is oriented so as to reach the deep-water contours in shortest

    possible distance (this is to optimize the quantity of dredging).

    The dimensions of the navigation channel are dependent on the vessel size, the behavior of the vessel when sailing through the channel, the environmental conditions (winds, currents and waves) and the channel bottom conditions. Channel design primarily involves determination of the safe channel width and depth for the dimensions of the design vessel.

    The existing approach channel is one way channel and the dimensions of the navigational facilities are as follows.

    Navigation channel – 4.0 km long Outer channel – 600 m wide at mouth & 500 m wide at breakwater tip Dredged depth - (-) 21.0 m CD

    5.1.4 Maneuvering Area The location of the maneuvering area or the turning basin, required to swing and berth the vessels, is very important and its design must provide the proper configuration, the proper dimensions and access. The size of the maneuvering area is a function of the length and maneuverability of the vessels and the time available for executing the turning maneuver.

  • By considering environmental conditions and the fact that vessels will be assisted by tugs, the diameter of the turning circle is required to be kept as 1.7 to 1.8 times length of the vessel. However, for the 400 m long vessel, minimum 700 m dia turning circle is required.

    The dimensions and sizing of the maneuvering and the basin area has been carried out in such a manner that 700 m dia turning circle will be available.

    5.1.5 Dredging and Reclamation Dredging will be carried out at proposed berthing areas and for widening of existing approach channel. The estimated quantity of total dredge material during proposed Master Plan development is 50 Mm³.

    Out of these dredging quantities, 40 to 45 Mm³ will be used for reclamation and balanced quantity will be disposed-off at the disposal ground.

    However, due to non-availability of the detailed topography survey, the above listed quantity may vary after actual survey.

    5.1.6 Berthing Area Dimensions The size of berthing area and the berth depend upon the dimensions of the largest ship and the number of ships to use the proposed facility. The berth layout is affected by many factors such as given below.

    The size of the port basin for maneuvering Satisfactory arrival and departure of ships to and from the harbour Whether the ships are equipped with stern and bow thrusters Availability of tugs, direction and magnitude of wind, waves and current.

    5.1.7 Navigational Aids The proposed development of berths as per the outer harbor master plan and its related backup facility involves creating an approach channel of 500 m wide base width having (-) 20.0 m CD depth in approach channel and in turning circles. These areas will be delineated by appropriate navigational aids. Also, it will be quite useful to establish a well-marked navigation line, by installing two navigation marks / leading light towers, one in the front near the high water line and the other at the rear. These marks will distinctly demarcate the channel.

    The height and spacing in between the towers must be designed suitably with adequate day marks and night leading lights, fulfilling the navigational needs of vessels approaching the port facility. The following navigational aids are available in existing approach channel.

    Channel marker buoys Fairway buoy and Turning circle buoys Front and rear leading light Berth corner lights

    The channel will be marked with lateral buoys spaced at a distance of 1 NM. Turning circle will be marked with 2 cardinal buoys. The visibility of the fairway buoy and navigational buoy is 10 NM and 5 NM respectively in fair weather. The navigational buoys are fitted with GPS system and fairway buoy is having a recon transmitting code letter “D”.

  • However, the addition or change in the location of these buoys will be required once the approach channel dredging as per the proposed master plan development get completed.

    Fairway Buoy: Fairway buoy (FB) marks the entry to the approach channel and also indicates the location of the pilot boarding area. Hence the vessels calling at port should be able to detect the fairway buoy while approaching the port.

    The characteristics of the fairway buoy will be as follows:

    Type - Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) (3.0 m dia) Radar Reflector - Fitted Light characteristics - Fl RW 105 10m LED 20W Halogen Lamps Power - Solar with backup battery for optimum autonomy. Anchoring arrangement - with 32mm diameter chain and 3.0 T anchor weight

    Channel Marker Buoys: There will be a pair of Channel Marker Buoys at the beginning of the channel on either side. Thereafter two pairs of Channel Marker Buoys are provided along the channel at a spacing of 1 km. The channel marker buoys will have the following characteristics:

    Type - FRP (3m dia) Day mark - Single Green, Cone type (Starboard buoy) & Single Red, Can type

    (Portside buoy) Radar reflector - Fitted Light characteristics - Fl G 3s 2m (star board buoys) LED 20W Halogen Lamps Power - Solar plus backup battery for optimum autonomy. Anchoring arrangement - with 32mm diameter chain and 3.0 T anchor weight

    Front and rear Leading Light: It is necessary to mark the center line of the channel with leading lights to ensure safe day and night navigation of vessels visiting the port. The leading lines will be having following criteria:

    Visibility range - 20 nautical miles The Leading lines and Leading lights are designed in accordance with IALA

    Guidelines and recommendations and the details are as follows: Day mark - As per IALA Guidelines Light Characteristics - Front Light Fl Y 1s & Rear Light Occ. Y 3s

    The leading lights will be controlled by a sun-switch to ensure that the lights operate only during darkness or bad visibility. Power supply will be provided by batteries, to be recharged by solar panel systems mounted on the supporting structure, and/ or by power supply from the port distribution system. The battery banks shall be sized to ensure 24 hours continuous operation of the lighting system.

    Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS): The purpose of the VTMS is to provide a clear and concise real time representation of vessel movements and interaction in the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) area. In case of outer harbor development at Hazira Port, the service area will be the approach channel, harbour basin area etc. This system will be used for marine operations and will also be linked to the PMIS (Port Management

  • and Information System). The information provided by VTMS system allows the operator or user of the system to following facilities.

    Provide the required level of VTS: Information, Assistance or Organization Enhance safety of life and property Reduce risks associated with marine operations Enhance efficiency of vessel movements and port marine resources Distribute VTS related information Provide Search and rescue assistance Provide VTS data for administrative purposes, analysis of incidents and planning

    The VTS in recent years has changed from Traffic Monitoring to Traffic Planning by introduction and interconnection of databases and expert systems. It allows access of static and dynamic information about ships, their cargo and port service requirements. Together with an automatic update of traffic information the VTMS provides a powerful tool for programming of traffic movement within the surveillance area. Operators can associate tracked targets with vessels registered in the database, which makes the data readily available and allows the system to automatically provide pertinent voyage information to other port service providers.

    5.1.8 Berth Requirements The number of berths required, is a function of cargo type and volume, and the expected cargo handling rates. Certain cargoes can be handled at the same (multi-purpose) berth, while others require dedicated facilities. Other factors that would influence are as given below.

    Vessel sizes and parcel sizes Number of operational days per year Number of working hours per day Time required for peripheral activities and Allowable berth occupancy

    The cargo handling rates and the other factors are discussed in the subsequent sections.

    Cargo Handling Rates

    The following cargo handling rates are considered for planning purposes:

    Coal – Import : 2750 TPH per cranes & 2 - 3 cranes / berth Coal – Export : 5000 TPH per cranes & 1 crane / berth Container : 32 moves/hr/crane & 1 move = 1.3 TEU General & Break bulk Cargo : 1000 TPH per crane & 2 cranes / berth Fertilizer and FRM : 1000 TPH per crane & 2 cranes / berth Liquid Cargo : 350 TPH – 1800 TPH (based on type of cargo)

    The average cargo handling rates based on the productivity of the topsides for various commodities are presented in table below. The handling rates indicated in are worked out, for effective topside working hours of 21 to 24 hours per day and other factors that influences the berth and stockyard operation.

    The above listed cargo handling rates are tentative and subject to change based on the actual equipment make and size.

  • Parcel Size

    The expected parcel sizes of the cargo are indicated in table below.

    Table: Average Parcel Size for each Cargo type

    Sr. No Cargo Type Average Parcel Size 1. Coal Import 1,00,000 MT 2. Coal Export 1,00,000 MT 3. Container 4500 TEU 4. General & break bulk Cargo 40,000 MT

    5. Liquid 40,000 MT – 60,000 MT

    Operational Time

    It is assumed that proposed master plan facilities will work round the clock, seven days a week. Allowing 15 days weather downtime, the effective number of working days will be 350 days / year, subject to limiting current and tide conditions.

    Time Required for Peripheral Activities

    Apart from the time involved in the handling of cargo, additional time will be required for other activities such as the berthing and de-berthing of the vessels, customs clearance, cargo surveys, positioning and hook up of equipment, waiting for clearance to sail, etc. As per industry standards, these activities are assumed to take on an average, 6 (six) hours per vessel call. However, this does not include downtime due to currents and tidal conditions.

    Allowable Level of Berth Occupancy

    Berth occupancy is expressed as the ratio of the total number of days per year that a berth is occupied by a vessel (which includes the time lost in peripheral activities), to the number of port operational days in a year. The berth occupancy percentage is an indication of the time that a vessel calling at the port will have to wait on an average for a berth – higher berth occupancy will entail a longer pre-berthing detention, and lower level berth occupancy will ensure the least waiting time.

    The main consideration while planning the number of berth, is to ensure that the ratio of waiting time to service time be kept at an acceptable level, in order to avoid paying demurrage.

    Number of Berths required

    Based on the above given parameters, requirement of number of berths have been worked out. The below table shows the number of berths required along with length and capacity.

    Table: Proposed Berth Capacity & Length

    Sr. Description of Berth / Jetty Nos. Total Length (m) Capacity (MMTPA)

    1 Multipurpose Berths 17 5600 136.8 2 Liquid / Gas Berths 2 560 12.0 Total 19 6160 148.8

  • 5.2 PopulationprojectionDuring construction phase, approximately 200 workers will be employed. Construction workers are expected to reside in nearby villages in Surat where social infrastructure is available. They will be transported to and from the construction site by the construction contractors.

    During operation phase, approximate direct and indirect employment generation is as per the table given below.

    Table: Direct & Indirect Employment Generation (Master Plan development)

    Units Numbers Direct Employment No. 500 Indirect Employment No. 2000 Total No. 2500

    5.3 Landuseplanning(breakupalongwithgreenbeltetc.)The proposed outer harbour master plan development will consist of material handling area, cargo storage / backup area, operational and utility area, internal connectivity, drainage, greenbelt and buildings etc.

    Further due to strategic location of the port and resultant logistics advantages, substantial traffic may be attracted to the terminal. However, to calculate the area of the storage yard and transit godown following factors plays vital role.

    Dwell time Storage factor Density of the cargo Materials or stowage factor Aisle space Peaking Factor Methods of cargo handling Utilization factor of storage area

    Considering all these factors, area for the cargo storage has been worked out and described in the sections below.

    5.3.1 Bulk (Coal) - Import Coal will be stacked in the stockyard areas initially before evacuation by rail/road. Number of separate stockpiles need to be provided to cater for different grades of coal cargo.

    Cargo Unloading Mechanism: Coal will be unloaded with unloader which moves on the rail which will be installed on the berth. Mechanical grab of unloader crane will pick up the cargo from the ship hold and unload the material in to the hopper. Hopper will load the conveyor with control/ discharge gate/ belt feeder which will retrieve coal from hopper & discharge on the Jetty conveyor for onward transportation to coal storage yard through series of conveyors.

  • Stock Yard: Cargo will be stacked in coal yard by mechanized handling system. Coal cargo received by belt conveyor system from the jetty will be stacked in coal yard through yard conveyors along stockyard using stacker cum reclaimer. Each yard conveyor is equipped with one stacker cum reclaimer machine.

    Evacuation of Coal Cargo: Coal will be reclaimed from stockyard through stacker cum reclaimer and conveyed towards reclaiming conveyors which will discharge material in wagon loading silo. An in-motion wagon loading arrangement with conveyor connectivity has been planned. The rake consists of 59 wagons (maximum) of 68 MT capacities each subject to wagon carrying capacity & coal density.

    5.3.2 Multipurpose cargo (Import / Export) The storage area is designed to handle all type of multi-purpose cargo such as fertilizer, FRM, steel other bulk cargo, etc. The choice of yard system is determined by the volume of material to be handled and its stacking heights, and the space available for storage.

    Specifications of Multipurpose Yard: Yard drainage system design shall be based upon the runoff quantity, the intensity of rainfall and area of drainage. There shall not be any backflow during high tide-monsoon conditions. 30~40m high lighting mast will be adopted for yard lighting.

    Operation Modes in Multipurpose Yard: It has been anticipated that the internal transportation of cargo will be carried out using heavy-duty fork-lift, trucks and other smaller lifting plants, as per requirements. These will operate to and from railcars and trucks and the identified temporary storage / lifting area of the storage yard.

    Design Specification for Multipurpose Yard: The storage yard paving shall be suitable for the following vehicles;

    Tractor/Trailer trucks suitable for maximum loads Heavy duty Fork – Lift trucks.

    Asphaltic and Block Pavements shall be designed in accordance with the recommendation as per standard Code of Practice.

    Block Pavement Material

    Block pavement shall generally consist of rectangular or shaped pavers of the interlocking types, 100 mm thick and laid in a herringbone pattern. A 20 mm thick sand bedding layer shall be laid below the concrete blocks.

    Asphaltic Pavement material

    Asphaltic pavement shall generally consist of asphaltic base course laid in one layer and a layer of surfacing wearing course,

    5.3.3 Liquid and Gas Terminal: Storage and Handling The Liquid and Gas Terminal for proposed master plan will be developed in line with business requirement of liquid and Gas cargo. Tanks would be used to store PoL, Crude oil, non-classified hydrocarbons, edible and non-edible oils, and other specialty commodities like CBFS, Bitumen, petroleum class A, B, C and Cryogenic gas up to -160°C etc. Other facilities such as Pump House, Manifolds, TLF, TULF, Utility Blocks,

  • Substation, Control Room, pavement, drainage, lighting and formation level, OWS, ETP is taken into account while designing the terminal. Necessary arrangements / accessories as per the standards would be provided at the storage tank for the safe containment of the products. A cross- country pipe line for transportation of liquid can be provided as and when required.

    5.3.4 Container Terminal The major factors effecting the area requirement for the container terminal are as given below.

    Utilization Factor Dwell time Stack height

    Utilization Factor: Utilization factor of the yard is depends on the RTG size. For Container Terminal facility 7 wide + 1 truck lane and 1 over 5 high RTG crane has been selected. However, for this layout and RTG system 0.7 utilization factors has been assumed.

    Box Sizes: Presently in India the proportion of 20’ boxes is relatively high as compared to world standards. This is basically due to existing road infrastructure and also due to lower stowage factors and hence, the smaller boxes are more economical. Internationally the ratio of TEU / Box is around 1.4 and there is an on�going trend towards larger boxes. However, it can be assumed that in India the ratio of TEU / Box shall ultimately reach 1.3. For a typical distribution, the critical container weight for mixes of 20’ and 40’ containers has been considered about 23 MT.

    Dwell Time: A Container Terminal capacity is directly proportional to the dwell time. In a fully operating and well managed terminal, 5 days for imports is quite practicable and certainly achievable.

    The table below shows, for different type of container cargo different dwell times has been considered for detailed calculations.

    Table: Dwell time for different Container Yards

    Yard Type Dwell Days 20' EXPORT / Import & 40' EXPORT / Import

    MTs (other than ICD) 5 Fulls (Other than ICD) 5 Reefer 5 ICD (Fulls + MTs) 5

    Trans-shipment20' Transshipment 10 40' Transshipment 10

  • Stack Height: The import stack height must be kept in such a way that it easily reaches, prevents congestion or extra handling operations. Each container is destined for a particular client and/or destination and each must therefore be easily accessible. For the proposed facility stack height of 4 to 5 has been considered. Table below shows the stack height which has been considered for the yard area calculation.

    Table: Stack Height for different Container Yards

    Yard Type Stack Height 20' EXPORT / Import & 40' EXPORT / Import

    MTs (other than ICD) 5 Fulls (Other than ICD) 5 Reefer 4 ICD (Fulls + MTs) 5

    Trans-shipment20' Transshipment 5 40' Transshipment 5

    Following calculation represents the requirements for Container Yard. However, certain assumption has been done to evaluate the requirement of TGS such as Peaking factor as 1.15, yard utilization as 0.7 etc.

    Total throughput & required TGS worked out for Outer harbor development is approximately 14300 TGS.

    Based on the total required TGS, the yard area has been worked out considering 7 wide container stacks with 1 truck lane. The RTG arrangement has been done back to back position with additional high-mast space after every 4 RTG modules. Each alternate module has been spaced for the truck passing lane for having flexibility of the container cargo movement in yard. The provision of reefer platforms has been also kept in the terminal. Detailed planning shall be reviewed again during execution phase.

    5.3.5 Internal Roads The approach road leading to the Container Terminal, Dry Bulk & Liquid Terminals widens out near the main terminal gates where security checks will be undertaken.

    Road Structure: The approach roads to the Container terminal and dry bulk & liquid bulk terminal area are designed taking into consideration the density of traffic and the wheel pressure of the tractor trailers, tankers, trucks, etc. All roads are designed to IRC 20 ton axle load.

    5.3.6 Railway Works Existing Railway works

    The location of the Port, about 25 km from Surat, gives a strategic advantage to the port operator in terms of rail connectivity. Surat is located on the main broad gauge rail route between Delhi and Mumbai that caters to the key Delhi-JNPT container traffic. This rail route is double-track, fully electrified and designed for fast trains. The current transit time of CONCOR trains moving between JNPT and Delhi is around 40

  • hours. A new rail siding connecting the Port to Delhi-Mumbai rail corridor will lead to a transit time of about 30 hours. Thus the Port can offer a saving of about 10 hours of transit time, as compared to JNPT for North India traffic. This gives a potential saving for the users of the Port.

    The Port currently lacks the rail connectivity to this Delhi-Mumbai trunk route. Hence, it is demanding to have rail connectivity between the Port and Delhi -JNPT route. A 36 km rail-link between the Port and Kosad junction on Bombay -Delhi trunk route is planned by RVNL, who is leading the implementation of the rail-link. At GoG level, various alignments have been studied and final alignment is decided for the Port rail connectivity. RVNL is expected lead the implementation of the rail-link.

    Assistance Required from GMB / GoG

    For successful implementation and operations of Outer Harbour Development, road and rail connectivity to the Port is critical. Following assistance from GMB/ GoG is necessary:

    Assistance of GMB/ GoG for acquisition of land required for rail connectivity for Port.

    Early implementation of Escape Corridor Facilitate development of South Corridor (NH6), including support in land

    acquisition. Design adequate flyovers over the proposed rail-link. And Northern Corridor High quantity and reliable power supply for its construction and operations.

    Request GoG to allocate sufficient quantity of power at Mora Junction substation for proposed facilities.

    5.4 AssessmentofInfrastructureDemand(PhysicalandSocial)Hazira is very well developed industrial region and is connected to the Surat. Both the places are having sufficient infrastructure to cater the additional manpower during construction and operational phase. No additional load is envisaged.

    5.5 Amenities/Facilities5.5.1 Communications & Automation Facilities Provisions will be made in the civil works for the installation of fiber optic data and telephone cables by the installation of ducts and draw pits to allow connection between the operation area, administration building, the gate house, Customs, and all other major installations. In general duct runs for data cables will follow the main service routes.

    The Automation system at the port will be designed for controlling and safety of the port facilities. Dedicated control rooms are proposed in Material Handling facilities, liquid facilities, container terminal facility, overall port operation center which will be designed to monitor and controlling the process, utility, jetty, fire & gas and other port operational area as per OISD & Port guidelines.

  • Emergency Shutdown Systems are proposed in all critical areas. DCS/ SCADA /PLC systems are proposed in Material Handling facilities, liquid facilities, and container terminal facility.

    Port Operation related automation like Fuel Management System, Port Information Management system; GPS, Tugs and Dredger Fleet Management System will be implemented during design stages.

    5.5.2 Water Supply Total water demand is broadly classified in the following categories:

    Potable water for consumption of port personnel.

    Potable water for ships calling at this port.

    Water for dust suppression.

    Water for firefighting.

    Water for terminal and other operation

    Other uses like gardening etc.

    Based on the requirements of facilities the water demand will be calculated over a master plan horizon. The major water demand is likely to be for the dust suppression system for the dry bulk cargo. Based on the exact water demand suitable size of underground and overhead storage tanks will be provided at appropriate places.

    Water will be tapped from nearby available source. A water tank will be constructed in the utility area. Fresh water will be delivered to the terminal regularly by trucks or by pipe line network to maintain the level of available fresh water sufficient for the routine operation, plus any emergency happenings, such as fire events including the water requirement to be supplied to ships.

    Water will be sourced from existing source during construction phase. 30 MLD capacity desalination plant will be constructed to obtain water for operation phase of the outer harbor master plan.

    Construction phase requirement : 1200 KLD

    Operation phase requirement : 30 MLD

    However, during detailed design stage, actual water requirement will be calculated and accordingly Desalination plant of sufficient capacity will be constructed at suitable location.

    5.5.3 Power Supply The power distribution system planned is simple to operate and maintain high reliability, being accessible for inspection and repair with safety.

    Designing of electrical distribution system ensures that voltage at the utilization equipment is maintained within the tolerance limits under all load conditions since poor voltage regulation is detrimental to the life and operation of the equipment.

    Power required for port expansion during construction phase will be sourced from existing port facilities.

    The power is required during operation phase for the following activities:

  • Mechanized cargo handling equipment

    Lighting of the port area

    Offices and transit sheds

    Other miscellaneous requirement

    Based on the requirements of facilities the power demand shall be calculated over a master plan horizon. The exact requirement will have to be governed by the facilities proposed mainly in terms of handling system. The suitable electrical distribution system in the port area will have to be accordingly planned.

    66 kV incoming power is planned to be tapped from the GEB’s nearest substation. The main receiving substation in the port area will be built by AHPPL. Other HT and LT substation will be handled at particular sub-station depending upon the planning of the cargo. Internal power distribution will be done through the utility corridor on cable trays. As 66 kV power is reliable UPS would be provided to the computers and control panels with 4 to 6 hr of backup. DG sets would be provided for the harbour cranes and quay cranes with 50 % operation
