Project Detail:
Mormugao Port is an excellent natural harbour and over the years, the Port has developed a deep draft channel (-14.4m below Chart Datum). It has good rail and road connectivity. The doubling of Rail Line between Vasco to Hospet is progressing well. Survey has been completed by South Western Railway in the mountainous section between Kulem and Castle Rock for the alternate alignment of the second line. The total construction period is envisaged to be 30 months excluding pre- construction activitiesThe demand for handling facilities particularly for iron ore and general cargo traffic has made capacity addition a priority. Berth No.8 is a Liquid cargo handling Berth however its utilization is low. Therefore the Port plans to shift this operation to the Vasco bay area.
The total cost of the project is estimated at Rs.1145.36 crores
