Expansion Plans
It recently replaced the existing Mobile Harbor Cranes with higher capacity cranes as the existing cranes had already completed more than 23,000 hours of operations. The new cranes have better efficiencies and can discharge 40,000 TPD coal.
The Company is also in discussion with Mormugao Port Trust for the installation of in-motion wagon loading systems with ancillary facilities like Conveyers and Silos.
It is planning to increase the capacity of the conveyor system by 20 percent.
Plans to invest in additional mechanical equipment for handling heavier steel coils are also underway.
Connectivity at the Port is likely to improve soon, with the Government of Goa planning and contemplating to double the Vasco-Londa line.
