Commissioner of Fisheries have selected following Fishing Harbours clustered as Group B

development.

• Veraval Phase – II Fishing Harbour

• Sutrapada Fishing Harbour

• Porbandar Phase –II Fishing Harbour

• Okha Fishing Harbour

• Bhadreshwar Fishing Harbour

Porbandar district is one of the 14 coastal Districts of Gujarat. The coastline length of Porbandar

district is 106 km and constitutes of 6.56% of total coastal length of Gujarat state. Porbandar

district consists of 3 talukas namely Porbandar, Ranavav, Kutiyana. Porbandar taluka is only

located in coastal areas. As per 2011 census, the total fishermen families living in the Porbandar

district are 6088 with a population of 32,925. Total active marine fishermen in Porbandar are

7586. According to the Fisheries Department, Government of Gujarat there are total 4899

Mechanized boats (20.36% of the Gujarat State) and 133 non-mechanized boats operating in the

Porbandar district with a total boats of 5032 (19.76% of the total marine boats of Gujarat state).

To cater such a volume there is a need to expand the fishing harbour at Porbandar to Phase II

developments. The existing Fishery harbour at Porbandar is currently operating small boats as

well as trawlers. It can handle 2600 vessels of OAL (15 – 18 m). The Porbandar port has total

5032 operating boats of which 4899 Mechanized and 133 non-mechanized boats. The existing

facility needs up gradation, due to congestion and draft restriction. New harbour is proposed

towards Northwest of existing harbour.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING OF PROJECT AREA

Porbandar Phase II Fishing Harbour is proposed in intertidal zone. The site is facing the open

sea and the there is need for making breakwater to protect the basin which has to be built into the

subtidal zone. Adequate land area is not available for the basin and land based structures. Hence

reclamation 1.1 million m3 is proposed. The land is under the jurisdiction of GMB (Gujarat

Maritime Board). There is no displacement of community or destruction of any vegetation,

buildings, etc.

Porbandar Bird Sanctuary lies in the heart of city of Porbandar and is a unique example of co-

existence of man and nature. Porbandar Bird Sanctuary is the smallest bird sanctuary spread over

in an area of 9.33 ha. The sanctuary has a lake attracting migratory birds and other birds such as

teals, fowls, flamingos, ibis and curlews.

Study Area Covering 10 km Radius from Fishing Harbour

4 OBJECTIVE OF ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The principal Environmental Regulatory Agency in India is the Ministry of Environment Forests

and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India. MoEF&CC formulates environmental

policies and accords environmental clearance for the projects which attracts EIA notification.

The State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) accords No Objection Certificate (NOC) Consent for

Establishment and Consent for Operation for the projects. As per the list of projects or activities

requiring prior environmental clearance given in the EIA Notification issued by MoEF&CC on

14th September 2014 and amended till date, proposed project is listed on S.No.7(e) and requires

Environmental Clearance from SEIAA, Government of Gujarat. Since, the project is proposed in

the coastal area it attracts CRZ Clearance, as per CRZ notification January 2011. Proposed

project is permissible activity as per Clause 3 i (a). In this connection, Form-I along with TOR in

the prescribed format was submitted to SEIAA, Government of Gujarat. The same was reviewed

during 316th meeting of the State Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC) held on 7th December

2016. TOR has been accorded by SEAC. The HTL/LTL demarcation for the project site was

conducted through Institute of Remote Sensing (IRS) Anna University, Chennai.

4.1 Methodology for EIA Study

Detailed review of the feasibility report for the proposed project has been carried out. 10 km

radius of study area was marked using latitudes and longitudes of the project site. For all major

environmental components, primary data was generated and compared with available

historical/published information for assessment of various environmental components to develop

EMP.

Land use pattern was mapped within 10 km radius from the proposed site using GIS II remote

sensing maps followed by ground truth verification. The baseline monitoring program was

undertaken for Pre monsoon season (March 2018 to April 2018) to establish the background air

quality, ground and surface water qualities, soil quality and noise levels in the study area.

Meteorological data pertaining to Rasayani was collected from IMD. Ecology and biodiversity

studies were carried out for terrestrial components of the study area. Field Survey was

undertaken to develop socio-economic profile of the study area and was compared with

published census data. A detailed review on the possible environmental pollutants such as liquid

and solid wastes was undertaken. Impact Assessment of various environmental components have

been carried out using standard EIA tools and techniques with appropriate input of primary and

secondary baseline data to determine the significance of the impact. Various activities those are

envisaged during construction and operation phases of the proposed project were evaluated for

its significance. Based on the impact, suitable EMP was developed to mitigate the pollution.

Risk assessment study, emergency response plan were also prepared for the proposed project.

Porbandar fishing harbour Phase – II is a green field project, proposed at 200 m southwest of

Super Gas installation compound wall. The site is a low lying land, on the beach with a high

amount of beach sand separating it from the sea. The site is facing the open sea and there is need

of breakwater to protect the basin which has to be built in to the low lying land inside the beach

area. It is necessary to evaluate the impacts of the project activities, so that the surrounding area

and communities are least affected from the negative impacts. Considering the project layout, the

primary study area is considered to be within 10 km radius of the project site for baseline

environment monitoring as per EIA Notification guidelines. For studying the environmental

sensitivity in a radius of 10 km, secondary data was also obtained.

Station 2 Kuchadi 2 km Northwest

Station 3 Kantela 8.5 km Northwest

Station 4 Degam 6.1 km North

Station 5 Porbandar 5.5 km East

4.2 Soil

The collected soil samples were analysed for various chemical properties. The parameters

selected were pH, electrical conductivity, soluble cations, cation exchange capacity (CEC). pH is

an important parameter which indicates alkaline and acidic nature of soil. It severally affects the

microbial population as well as the solubility of metal ions and regulates nutrient availability.

The pH of the soil in the study area is in range of 7.2 to 7.6 i.e from neutral to slightly alkaline.

4.3 Ambient Air Quality

The parameters like PM2.5, PM10, Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and CO were

monitored for one season duration during October to December 2016. Ambient air quality of

project site was compared with National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

Particulate Matter (PM 10) results are within CPCB limits except few readings at Porbandar

Fishing Harbour Location. This could be attributed to salt spray close to shoreline due to heavy

winds. All Particulate Matter (PM 2.5) values are within CPCB limits for all locations.Sulphur

Dioxide (SO2), Oxide of Nitrogen (NOx) & Carbon Mono-oxide (CO) values are within CPCB

limits for all locations.

4.4 Noise Levels

The noise levels were monitored at project site on hourly basis during the study period. Leq day

and Leq night noise levels were derived and reported accordingly. Day time was considered as

10.00 hrs to 22.00 hrs and night time as 22.00 hrs to 06.00 hrs. Noise levels were observed

within permissible limits.

4.5 Marine and Ground Water

No fresh water body was observed within study area. Most of the ponds were either dried or

influenced by tidal water. Surface water samples pertaining to creeks and pond were collected

from 3 locations. In order to study the existing ground water quality within the study area,

samples of ground water were collected through borewell. Marine water monitoring was carried

out at 5 different locations. Water quality was observed to be free from pollution.

4.6 Marine Sediment

Organic matter present in sediment influences its physical and chemical properties. Coastal

sediment analysis shows that the concentration of organic matter is in the range of 0.4%-0.5%

and organic carbon is in the range of 0.2 %-0.3% sediment analysis shows lower values of

organic carbon. The concentration of heavy metals found in normal range.

4.7 Ecology

The vegetation mostly comprises of open scrub vegetation. Prosopis juliflora (Ganda Baval) is

observed to be dominant in the study area. The vegetation type is subtropical coastal thorny

scrub jungles with trees predominantly moist deciduous type but rarely evergreen. The natural

vegetation is scarce, scattered and open. In all other areas, the trees are dominated by Acacia

nilotica and Prosopis juliflora. The coastal bed confined to seashores have mangrove ecosystem

with Avicenia marina found on the seaward side. Density of mangroves varies from open forest

to dense.

Porbandar Bird Sanctuary is located amid the city of Porbandar flaunting the co-existence of man

and nature. Spread over an area of 9 ha, this unique water dwelling, surrounded by trees was

affirmed as a sanctuary in the year 1988. Due to its uniqueness, it became perennial water

reservoir. During survey white ibis, water hen, coot, mallard, flamingos were observed.

Porbandar Bird Sanctuary is located at a distance of ~ 6.0 km from the nearest edge of the project

site.

The Gujarat Ecology Commission has carried out study on "Sea Turtle Conservation" during the

year 2012 under the World Bank aided Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project. In this

study maximum of nine nests were reported from Rantala to Kuchhacli followed by eight and

seven nests from Balej Gorsarand, Ratadi-Kantala stretches respectively. Out of 16 stretches,

four stretches did not report any nest. As per the 2001 study, maximum of 29 nests each were

reported from Kantala to Kuchhadi. Miyani-Bhavpara, Bhavpara-Visavada, Ratia-Balej and

Navibandar-Ratia stretches reported more than 10 nests. Proposed project site is located south of

Kuchhadi village towards Porbandar port. This stretch did not report any sea turtle nest.

4.8 Socio-Economy

The district comprises of 3 talukas viz. Porbandar, Kutiyana and Ranavav talukas. Economy of

Porbandar District in Gujarat is chiefly based on Metallurgical, Ports, Cement, Chemicals and

Ship building and Fishing industries. Presence of large reserves of essential minerals like

limestone, chalk and bauxite in the district has given rise to a number of mineral-based and

cement industries. Companies such as Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Birla VXL Ltd.,etc have setup the

manufacturing facilities in Porbandar district. Several small scale industries are engaged in cold

storage, sea food industry, fish processing units etc.

According to recent censes (2011), Population of study area is 226728. The Porbandar and study

area is divided into Porbandar wards and Porbandar rural area. As per the Population Census

2011, there are total 47892 families residing in the study area. The total population of study area

is 226728. out of which 116164are males and 110564are females thus the Average Sex Ratio of

Porbandar is 951. Highest population in study area is Porbandar City (185191).

5 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

The activities involved in the proposed modernization of existing facilities & and construction of

auction hall, fishermen rest room, ETP etc. at Porbandar. Other activities have been discussed in

detail to identify aspects and to determine impacts and assessed quantitatively and qualitatively.

Impacts have been assessed with appropriate tools and techniques taking in to account of various

mitigation measures.

Depending on the nature of interaction and the degree of impact made on the environment,

aspects have been considered as significant/insignificant. The significant impacts are further

classified as reversible and irreversible. Reversible impacts are those which have the ability to

restore natural conditions if suitable mitigating measures are taken to avoid, reduce or offset

negative environmental impacts. Irreversible impacts are those which cannot be restored to

natural conditions/avoided.

http://www.indianetzone.com/49/porbandar_district.htm

http://www.indianetzone.com/2/gujarat.htm

To mitigate impacts on marine ecology, measures such as selection of equipment and dredgers,

environmental monitoring and regulating activities based on monitoring results must be adopted.

Silt screen shall be provided to avoid movement suspended solid for a longer distance. Dredged

spoil shall be disposed only at designated site approved by Gujarat Maritime Board.

Dredging and reclamation shall be avoided during fish breeding and turtle nesting seasons. Any

turtle nest if sighted in the vicinity of fishing harbor, shall be reported immediately to Forest

Department.

Fishermen shall be sensitized about sea turtles and hunting, poaching of eggs shall be avoided.

Waste waters including those generated from cleaning operations, ice melt water, live shellfish

transport, unloading of pelagic tank boats and staff facilities will be discharge after proper

treatment and disinfection in 1 MLD ETP. Provision will be made for the storage and disposal of

spent lubricating oils landed by vessels. Sewage water from the fishery harbor complex will be

properly treated in 100 KLD STP.

6 ADDITIONAL STUDIES

6.1 HTL/LTL Demarcation

In order to comply with CRZ regulations, detailed HTL/LTL demarcation studies were

conducted with respect to the project sites at Porbandar. The study has been conducted by an

authorized agency, Institute of Remote Sensing, Anna University, Chennai. HTL/LTL maps of

Porbandar in 1:4000 scale.

6.2 Hydrodynamic Modeling

As a part of studies required for the preparation of detailed project report for the development of

the greenfield fishing harbor at Porbandar, numerical model studies are carried out by Egis India

Consulting Engineers. The model studies will help in establishing near shore wave climate, inner

harbor wave tranquility, hydrodynamic flow conditions, sediment transport pattern, and met-

ocean design basis for breakwater design and other marine structures.

7 PROJECT BENEFITS

Porbandar fishing harbor will be one of the advanced and economically feasible project designed

by Government of Gujarat. The proposed development will mark a boost to the revenue of

services of Gujarat and India. Proposed development will improve the fishing activity,

modernization of equipment’s, improvement in the livelihood, commercial benefits and other

facilities. The project would contribute substantially to increase the fish and crustacean supplies

to both domestic and export markets. The project would give employment to ~40,000 persons in

the fishing industry from project implementation, apart from the indirect benefits that would

accrue as a result of developmental efforts.

8 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

EMP is a site specific plan which is designed to ensure that the project is implementing in an

environmentally sustainable manner. All the key stakeholders like nearby dwellers, workers,

contractors, consultants, design engineers etc. shall realize the risks that can arise during the

construction as well as operational phase of the proposed project, on the site and how can they

contribute in reducing those risks. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried

out in accordance with the design and by performing appropriate mitigation actions to reduce

adverse environmental impacts for a long term period.

Solid waste management system, traffic congestion management and other initiative are also

included in EMP. Development of site for project activity to a certain extent, create inevitable

impacts mainly during construction phase, but these impacts can be reduced significantly with

the help of effective EMP. The potential environmental impacts, which need to be controlled, are

mentioned below:

• Air pollution due to the emission of particulate matter and gaseous pollutants;

• Noise pollution due to various noise generating equipment’s like DG Sets, Vibrations

from machineries, noise from vessels, noise due to congestion (road transport as well as

commuters).

• Wastewater generation from sanitary/domestic activities.

• Solid waste Management (Collection- Process & Disposal).

• Labor camp with water, power, sanitation and medical facilities.

• Impact of dredging and reclamation on marine biological environment

To ensure better environment in & around the project site as well as the neighboring population,

an effective EMP is developed separately for construction phase.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction of Gujarat Fishery

State of Gujarat has along coastline of ~1600 km with broadest Exclusive Economic Zone of

2.14 Lakh km2 including a continental shelf of 1.84 Lakh km2. The state is endowed with rich

and diversified fisheries resources. Fishery sector not only provides employment to rural folk but

also takes care of the nutritional requirements. The emerging scenario in fish production is

attracting investment to develop capability. Again more and more fishing vessels added every

year leading to congestion to existing fishing harbours. With this scenario, Commissioner of

Fisheries, Government of Gujarat is planning to construct new Fishing Harbours and Fish

Landing Centres in the State of Gujarat.

It has been decided by Fisheries Department to develop various infrastructure facilities such as

wharfs, breakwater, jetties, auction hall, net mending shed, net drying yard, concrete road, toilet

block, compound wall, electrical arrangements, anti sea erosion works if necessary, berthing

facilities, approach/ internal road, ice plants, water supply and sewerage, STP arrangements etc.

in the proposed harbours.

Commissioner of Fisheries have selected following Fishing Harbours clustered as Group B

development.

• Veraval Phase – II Fishing Harbour

• Sutrapada Fishing Harbour

• Porbandar Phase –II Fishing Harbour

• Okha Fishing Harbour

• Bhadreshwar Fishing Harbour

1.2 Fishery Profile at Porbandar

Porbandar district is one of the 14 coastal Districts of Gujarat. The coastline length of Porbandar

district is 106 km and constitutes of 6.56% of total coastal length of Gujarat state. Porbandar

district consists of 3 talukas namely Porbandar, Ranavav, Kutiyana. Porbandar taluka is only

located in coastal areas. As per 2011 census, the total fishermen families living in the Porbandar

district are 6088 with a population of 32,925. Total active marine fishermen in Porbandar are

7586. According to the Fisheries Department, Government of Gujarat there are total 4899

Mechanized boats (20.36% of the Gujarat State) and 133 non-mechanized boats operating in the

Porbandar district with a total boats of 5032 (19.76% of the total marine boats of Gujarat state).

(Source: Fisheries Department, Govt. of Gujarat)

Figure 1.1: Fish Production in Porbandar

The annual fish productions of 14 years at Porbandar fishing harbour are presented in Figure 1.1.

To cater such a volume there is a need to expand the fishing harbour at Porbandar to Phase II

developments. The existing Fishery harbour at Porbandar is currently operating small boats as

well as trawlers. It can handle 2600 vessels of OAL (15 – 18 m). The Porbandar port has total

5032 operating boats of which 4899 Mechanized and 133 non-mechanized boats. The existing

facility needs up gradation, due to congestion and draft restriction. New harbour is proposed

towards Northwest of existing harbour.

1.3 Environmental Setting of Project Area

Porbandar Phase II Fishing Harbour is proposed in intertidal zone. The site is facing the open

sea and the there is need for making breakwater to protect the basin which has to be built into the

subtidal zone. Adequate land area is not available for the basin and land based structures. Hence

reclamation 1.1 million m3 is proposed. The land is under the jurisdiction of GMB (Gujarat

Maritime Board). There is no displacement of community or destruction of any vegetation,

buildings, etc. The satellite imagery of the proposed location is given in the Figure 1.2.

The Porbandar City is connected through National Highway 8B, connecting to Rajkot and

Ahmedabad. National Highway 8E Ext (also known as State Highway 6) connects

to Jamnagar, Dwarka in the north and Veraval, Bhavnagar in the south. Porbandar railway

1.4 Objectives of EIA Study

The objective of the Environmental Impact Assessment is to assess the likely impacts of

proposed fishing harbor on the existing quality of land, marine water, noise, air quality, marine

as well as terrestrial ecology and socio-economic environment during construction and operation

phases. Mitigation measures in the form of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) have also

been outlined as a part of the EIA report.

The principal Environmental Regulatory Agency in India is the Ministry of Environment Forests

and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India. MoEF&CC formulates environmental

policies and accords environmental clearance for the projects which attracts EIA notification.

The State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) accords No Objection Certificate (NOC) Consent for

Establishment and Consent for Operation for the projects. As per the list of projects or activities

requiring prior environmental clearance given in the EIA Notification issued by MoEF&CC on

14th September 2014 and amended till date, proposed project is listed on S.No.7(e) and requires

Environmental Clearance from SEIAA, Government of Gujarat. Since, the project is proposed in

the coastal area it attracts CRZ Clearance, as per CRZ notification January 2011. Proposed

project is permissible activity as per Clause 3 i (a). In this connection, Form-I along with TOR in

the prescribed format was submitted to SEIAA, Government of Gujarat. The same was reviewed

during 316th meeting of the State Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC) held on 7th December

2016. TOR has been accorded by SEAC. The HTL/LTL demarcation for the project site was

conducted through Institute of Remote Sensing (IRS) Anna University, Chennai.

1.5 Methodology for EIA Study

Detailed review of the feasibility report for the proposed project has been carried out. 10 km

radius of study area was marked using latitudes and longitudes of the project site. For all major

environmental components, primary data was generated and compared with available

historical/published information for assessment of various environmental components to develop

EMP.

Land use pattern was mapped within 10 km radius from the proposed site using GIS II remote

sensing maps followed by ground truth verification. Porbandar site falls under stable coast.

Draft Report




Hence, baseline monitoring program was undertaken for one season (October to December 2016)

to establish the background air quality, ground and marine water qualities, soil quality and noise

levels in the study area. Meteorological data pertaining to Porbandar was collected from IMD.

Ecology and biodiversity studies were carried out for terrestrial and marine components of the

study area. Field Survey was undertaken to develop socio-economic profile of the study area and

was compared with published census data. A detailed review on the possible environmental

pollutants such as liquid and solid wastes was undertaken. Impact Assessment of various

environmental components have been carried out using standard EIA tools and techniques with

appropriate input of primary and secondary baseline data to determine the significance of the

impact. Various activities those are envisaged during construction and operation phases of the

proposed project were evaluated for its significance. Based on the impact, suitable EMP was

developed to mitigate the pollution. Risk assessment study, emergency response plan were also

prepared for the proposed project. CRZ map was prepared by IRS Anna University, Chennai.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A fishery harbour is a complex of facilities that acts as an interface between the capture of fish

and its consumption. A fishery harbour would include fish processing facilities, cold storage, ice

plant and administrative offices, and several other facilities within the harbour including roads,

parking areas for private and commercial vehicles, space around the halls for loading and

unloading, net repair halls and areas for future expansion. With stringent imposition of

international EU standards and HACCP practices, many of the fish importing nations insist on

fish and fishery products coming from the clean and hygienic fish landing places as a pre-

requisite to meet the quality standards of sea food.

2.1 Need of Project

Gujarat has strategic location providing access to major international and domestic market.

Important commercial varieties of fish namely Pomfret, Jew fish, Bombay duck, Shrimp,

Lobster, Squid, Cuttle fish, Silver bar, Hilsa, Shark, Catfish, Mullets, etc. are found in large

quantities along the coastline of Gujarat.

The Porbandar district has 6 fish landing centers and one fishing harbour along 106 km coastline.

The total Fishermen families living in the Porbandar district is 6088 with a population of 32925

including marine population of 32639. Total active marine fishermen in Porbandar are 7586. In

today’s world of increased environmental awareness, a fishing harbour must be planned,

designed and managed in harmony with both the physical and biological coastal environments.

The annual fish productions of 14 years at Porbandar fishing harbour is sustainably > 50000 MT

per year. The existing fishery harbour at Porbandar is currently operating small boats as well as

trawlers and gillnetter taking advantage of high tide for navigation. To cater such requirement

there is a need to upgrade a Porbandar Fishing Harbour phase-II

The advantages of the current site are:

• Approach road is available

• Adequate back up land area for accommodating Phase-II development

• Site is proximity to fishing community and fish markets

• Availability of fishing grounds

• Safe access from the open sea in all-weather conditions

2.3.1 Landing Quay

Landing quay is provided to facilitate the fishing vessels to come alongside the quay and land the

fish catch immediately. The length of the landing quay required for the size of fleet mentioned in

Table 2.1 is calculated based on the following assumptions.

10 m FRP vessels are of traditional/ out board fitted boats, which require beach landing facility.

10% of the fishing fleet may not go out for fishing due to maintenance, repair or some other

reasons. The 15 m and 18 m OAL trawlers, which go on 10 & 18 days trip respectively, will be

equally distributed on each day with same number of departures/arrivals

During Peak season 40% of 3 day trip vessels will arrive in peak hour with 20% increase in fish

catch. During Peak season 20% of the multiday trawlers may arrive in a day with 20% increase

in fish catch. A uniform manual unloading rate of 4500 kg/hour is assumed for all the fishing

vessels. Permissible duration of fish landing and outfitting by trawlers are reasonably assumed to

be 6 to 8 hours respectively. The fish landing quay length for all the fishing vessels consists of

overall length of the vessel in their category plus a free spacing of 10% of its overall length

between the boats to facilitate safe maneuvering.

2.3.3 Repair Quay

Trawlers will need occasional repairs to their engine/ machinery and other parts on board while

they remain afloat. Keeping this in view, repair quay of 366 m long exclusively for repairing of

15m and 18 m Trawler boats is provided in fishery harbour.

2.3.4 Berthing Quay

The fishermen take rest after each fishing trip and therefore, the vessels have to be berthed in the

harbour basin alongside the berthing quay during the rest period. At the berthing quay, the

fishermen take out their fishing nets either for drying or net mending and then reload the nets

into their boats before proceeding on next fishing trip. In computing the required berthing quay

length, the fact the fishing vessels lie abreast at the berthing quays; five abreast is considered to

optimize on the length of idle- berthing quays. The idle berthing requirement during normal

operating conditions is presented below:

2.4 Waterside Facilities

The water area, dimensions and the water depths (Draft) in the entrance/access channel, common

manoeuvring basin and at the berths, would be sufficient to permit the largest vessels to be used

for the fishery purpose as specified in terms of L, B and D (OAL, Beam and fully laden Draft) to

be serviced without causing the vessels to take undue risks. 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 above, the under keel clearances for Trawler vessel sizes have been determined and

added to the draft of the vessel in order to arrive at the required maneuvering depth for safe

handling of the vessel. It should be noted that the allowances indicated can be considered as

design cases for approach wave conditions.

• Mean Low Water Neaps (MLWN) + 1.46 m was selected for arrival conditions.

• Tidal Advantage (m CD) +1.46

Draft Report




• Water Depth required (m) 2.5 (all tide access)

• Capital Dredging will be 1,50,000 m3

• No maintenance dredging required as the natural draft is available at berthing locations

• The approach channel and manoeuvring lane also have > 3m natural draft

The major work is reclamation i.e reclamation works, is done mainly by filling sand or materials

available from nearby authorized quarry and reclaimed over the area just behind the proposed

berths (estimated reclamation quantity of 1.1 million m3). Such reclamation work will be

retained by block wharf structure and revetment structure on seaside and breakwater trunk

landmass on the other sides.

At Porbandar largest beam to be considered is 5.0 m. The required width of channel is 8 X 5.0 m.

Approximately 40 m wide channel is sufficient for safe navigation of design fishing vessel. As

such the approach channel is 100 m between breakwaters at the entrance harbour. There is no

restriction of draft both in the inner and outer approach channel and maneuvering area.

2.5 Breakwater

The protective breakwaters are required to provide necessary protection from the sea waves, for

the vessels to enter the harbour safely, during all stages of tide. Length of Eastern breakwater

will be 1658 m and western breakwater will be 1038 m. Huge rubble mound breakwaters need to

be constructed engulfing northern and southern boundaries. So the harbour basin is tranquil from

waves and protected from inner harbour siltation.

2.6 Landside Facilities

Total land requirement for development of fish harbor will be around 7.5 hectares.

2.6.1 Pre-processing cum Auction Hall

These are the covered sheltered sheds, for the cleaning, sorting, weighing, auctioning, icing, and

packing of the fresh fish. The fresh fish so packed are then sent for loading to the transport

vehicles. Generally covered auction hall is preferred for the following reasons.

• Quality of the fish can be maintained by protecting from sunlight

• To prevent melting of ice and hence fish starts deteriorating

• Protect from Dirt and insects contaminating the fish

• Birds and animals entering the fish stocks

Draft Report




Hence, the covered auction halls are meant to the benefit of the fishermen, processor, exporter

and customer in processing the quality of fish and fetching the better price. The Auction halls are

linear building structures with total length of the auction hall are approximately equal to the

length of the landing quay, for easy transfer of fresh fish landing from boats. Generally, the fish

are kept in display in the 50 kg boxes in rows in the display area of the fish auction hall over the

raised floor with sufficient walking place all around so that the bidder can take good look at the

displayed fish. The total traffic, fish landing per day on peak days and area required for cleaning,

sorting, displaying, icing & packing are considered in line with the planning parameters

projected for the port based on the studies and standard references.

The existing hall area at inner harbour is considered in the calculation to optimize the total new

development requirement. The hall flooring including the corridors is concrete flooring resting

on hard standing of 230 thick boulder soling and leveling course of PCC. It is assumed that 75%

of the fresh fish landed at the quay is likely to be taken into the fish handling auction hall and the

remaining 25% will be trash fish meant for fish drying, fish meal etc.

2.6.2 Fish Loading Area

As per the HACCP/ MPEDA norms, the fish should not be directly exposed to sun. Hence,

behind the proposed fish handling and auction halls, fish loading area with sun shades is

proposed to enable vehicles including the refrigerated vans to approach the fish auction halls for

loading of auctioned fish and to transport to consumer markets. The fish loading area with

sunshade is to avoid the fish boxes/ packages getting exposed to direct sunlight while loading

into trucks. The fish loading area is of concrete surface for the entire length of fish handling and

auction hall to withstand the vehicle loads and spillage of water.

2.6.3 Vehicle Parking Areas

In the fishery harbour the areas like Pass ways, parking lots and fishnet drying space are required

to be paved. Fish will be moved from fish landing to the fishery centres using handcarts, which

required flat smoothly paved surface along the route. This smooth surface is also required for

fishnets to avoid damage to nets. There will be many fish traders and consumers visiting the

fishing harbour on their vehicles like trucks, vans, cars, auto rickshaws, scooters, bi-cycles, tri-

cycles etc., for collecting and transporting fish and fish products to nearby fish markets. In

addition, there will be vehicles connected with the fishery industry bringing ice and other

commodities. Therefore, vehicles parking area in the form of concrete surface is proposed behind

the proposed fish handling and auction halls.

In the fishery harbour it is desirable that the all the access roads and loading yards shall be

enough for the peak traffic and also movement of the handling equipment. Hence the fish can be

move quickly from the fishery harbours to the outside market.

2.6.4 Boat Parking Area

In view of what is described above, it is advisable to cover the boat parking area with metal and

concrete paver block. By covering the area with concrete paver block the area will become dust

proof. It is required that paver block flooring be provided in parking area for taking load of crane

which is used for parking of boats as the boat manufacturing work, too, goes in the area. Further

for the convenience of fishermen using the gear sheds, vehicle parking is also proposed near the

idle berthing quay as shown in The FH layout. In addition, the buildings located within the

fishery harbour complex provide for enough land to accommodate vehicle-parking areas within

the plot areas designated for these buildings.

Draft Report




2.6.5 Cold Storage and Ice Plant

As per the NABARD guidelines for cold storage of fish, Once fish is frozen, it must be stored at

a constant temperature of −23 °C (−10 °F) or below in order to maintain a long shelf life and

ensure quality. A large portion of fresh fish is water. Because the water in fish contains many

dissolved substances, it does not uniformly freeze at the freezing point of pure water. Instead, the

free water in fish freezes over a wide range of temperature, beginning at approximately −2 °C

(28 °F). The amount of remaining free water decreases until the product reaches a temperature of

approximately −40 °C. Fish held below that temperature and packaged so as not to allow water

loss through sublimation can be stored for an indefinite period. Unfortunately, there are

relatively few commercial freezers capable of storing fish at -40° because of the tremendous

variation in energy costs. Fish are therefore normally stored at −18 to −29 °C (0 to −20 °F),

resulting in a variable shelf life ranging from a few weeks to almost one year.

The site for location of the cold storage has to be selected carefully taking into consideration the

following factors:

Nearness to processing centre is of paramount importance for getting frozen products in adequate

quantities.

• Uninterrupted power supply.

• Easy accessibility for free flow of raw material and finished product.

• Adequate supply of fresh water.

• Availability of skilled and unskilled labour

A production cold store is usually a part of the fish processing plant for storing frozen finished

products. Bulk cold stores normally give the same service as production cold stores, but are often

located at some distance from the actual processing industries and are normally much larger than

the production stores which cater to the needs of other processing plants also for storing frozen

sea foods on custom hiring basis.

Cold stores can be either single-storey or multi-storey buildings. Now days, multi-storey cold

storages are built only in congested or costly land areas and those buildings are normally not

more than two storeys high. A single-storey cold store can be easily designed to meet the specific

requirements of stacking and handling equipment. Wall and roof constructions can be made

Draft Report




lighter as they do not have to support the weight of the product stored, as in a multi-storey

building.

A single-storey building can have a relatively simple layout. Depending on size, it can either

have one single room or it can be divided into a number of rooms. Normally all the rooms are

operated at the same temperature for fish preferably in the range of -20° to -24°C. Most stores,

with the exception of small prefabricated ones, are built at a higher level than the surrounding

yard with a special loading ramp at one or more sides. The loading ramp level corresponds to the

height of the most commonly used vehicles.

2.6.6 Gear Shed & Net Mending Sheds

The facility of fish net mending shed is designed to consist of a space, where fishnets are

repaired and mended and another, where they are dried. Proper net mending shed is required for

whole fishery harbor area. Hence 4nos. of gearshed of total plinth area 972m 2 4nos.of Net

Mending sheds with total plinth area 856 m2and drying area approx. 6300m2. Between the rest

days of the fishing voyages and during non-fishing seasons, some fishing vessel operators for

security reasons prefer to keep their fishing gears in the fishermen gearshed instead of keeping

the min the fishing vessels. As such, fishermen gear storage cabins with locking arrangements

are required to be provided in a fishery harbour.

2.6.7 Fuel supply and Storage

Fuel outlets are proposed on the out fitting quay for the convenience of fishermen. A plot of

635m2is reserved just behind the out fitting quay for fuel storage as shown in the harbor layout,

which can be entrusted to private entrepreneurs for running and maintenance. Concrete surface is

proposed around the fuel storage area for maintenance cleanliness as shown in the FH utility

areas.

A bilge water oil separator to separate the fuel from the water, spent oil reception shed to collect

the utilized engine oil from the fishing boats after the voyage and the toxic waste like used

batteries from the fishing boats are proposed on the out fitting quay as shown in the layout.

2.6.8 Packing and Production Sheds

This is an important requirement of international standard for seafood items, to provide separate

facilities for labeling, packing, and storage and quality certification for ensuring the traceability

& quality standards for the export of fish and other seafood items. It is strategic to make such

Draft Report




facility is provided within a customs boundary similar to container freight station. A suitably

equipped lockable room shall be provided for use by the Food Authority, if such a facility is not

already available. It is equipped with a wash-hand basin, power supply and provision for

telephone connection. The room shall be provided with all facilities including small chill/freezer

for holding samples of fish. This facility is provided inside the auction hall.

2.6.9 Fishermen Rest shed

Fishermen need rest in between the trips and also before they start a fresh voyage. They may

have to go in to the sea at early hours and may be coming back after fishing at late nights. As

such, a fishermen rest shed is proposed with the total plinth area of 1070m2(5nos.) in the idle

berthing module besides the net mending shed as shown in the harbor layout. The fishermen rest

shed is provided with the facilities like bath room toilets, urinals wash basins; sit out sand

cupboards for storing few important personal things carried out by the fishermen.

2.6.10 Workshop, Boat Repair and Marine Service Station

For carrying out electrical/mechanical/electronics/carpentry related repairs to the fishing vessels

and communication equipment checking of lubrication and cooling systems of the engine etc., It

consists of an office room, mechanical shop, electrical workshop and a carpentry shop with the

toilet facility in additional to work spaces. Workshop cum Marine service station of 228m2 for

attending minor repair, checking of lubricants and cooling systems of engines of vessels etc. are

catered inside the same area of repair yard.

2.6.11 Radio Communicating Building

A radio-communication building is required in a fishery harbor in order to coordinate the shore-

to-shore a vice-versa communication between the fishing vessels, to watch and regulate vessels

movements, to provide information regarding fishing grounds, movement of fish shoals,

navigation hazards etc. to the fishermen. The radio–communication building would provide

facilities for display of signals, flags and lamps required regarding the weather information and

cyclone warnings during rough weather to the fishermen. As such, a radio-communication

building is proposed on the out fitting quay as shown in the harbor layout. This will facilitate the

fishermen to observe the daily weather and important information regarding the fishing grounds

before venturing for a voyage.

Draft Report




2.6.12 General Building & Common User Facilities

Under this category various building facilities like Port Administration building, Port users

facilities, Community hall, Stores, Canteen building & sanitary facilities at different locations

are considered.

2.6.13 Security / Guard house

To check the entry and exit of all types of vehicles and visitors, security/guardhouse is necessary

in a fishery harbour. At present, there is no such arrangement available. Hence, it is proposed to

construct two guard house of plinth area each of 32m2 at the entrance of the premises as shown in

the harbor layout. In addition, it is proposed to have an aesthetically appealing main gate for the

fishery harbor premises.

2.6.14 Public Toilet Block

A fishery harbor layout essentially needs to have a public toilet block containing facilities for

water closet and bathroom. There is no toilet block in the premises at present. Hence, five toilet

blocks of 345m2 plinth area are provided. The locations of the proposed blocks are shown in

harbor layout. In addition, usual toilet and bathing facilities are also made available in the

fishermen’s rest shed, restaurant and other buildings. It is to be noted that this toilet block should

be maintained neat and cleans that hygienic conditions prevail.

2.6.15 Dormitory

Dormitory facilities would be needed for the fish merchants, traders operating from the fishery

harbor and for those visiting harbor on regular business strips. Since, Porbandar fishery harbor

site is located away from nearby cities, Viz. Porbandar city, loading and boarding facilities

would be desirable for the fish merchants to stay. As such a dormitory of 637m2 plinth area is

provided with in the fishery harbor complex as shown in harbor layout. The building provides for

single, double and dormitory rooms to accommodate more persons. Further dining facilities

reception, waiting lounge, kitchen, store foe food provisions, dish wash, bathing, toilet facilities

etc., are added to the dormitory.

2.6.16 Canteen & Sanitary Buildings

Canteen facilities for fisherman are provided in the landside with a plinth area of 316m2. The

location is presented in layout plan.

Draft Report




2.6.17 Civic Amenities

Fishermen require many items such as fishnets, baskets, sinkers, buoys, anchors, ropes,

Automobile/machinery parts/products etc., for their fishing vessels and gear. The fishermen also

need to carry food provisions before going to setup in the fishery harbor complex. It is also

necessary for the mechanized fishing vessels to possess on board electronic equipment such as

fish fender, echo sounder, walkie-talkies, radio, electronic position finder etc. therefore,

instrument and radio shops for sales/servicing and facilities to repair these electrical and

electronic gadgets if available within the fishery harbor complex would avoid fishing vessel

operators to go in search of such services to nearby cities. To meet the above demands, the

fishery harbor complex provides site for civic amenity as shown in harbor layout.

2.6.18 Paved Area, Parking Area and Open Area

In the fishery harbor the areas like Pass ways, parking lots and fishnet draying space are required

to be paved. Fish will be moved from fish landing to the fishery centers using hand carts, which

required flat smoothly paved surface along the route. This smooth surface is also required for

fishnets to avoid damage to nets. In the fishery harbor it is desirable that the all the access roads

and loading yards shall be enough for the peak traffic and also movement of the handling

equipment. Hence the fish can be move quickly from the fishery harbors to the outside market.

In view of what is described above, it is advisable to cover the boat parking area with met a land

concrete paver block. By covering the area with concrete paver block the area will become dust

proof. It is required that paver block flooring be provided in parking area for taking load of crane,

which is used for parking of boats as the boat manufacturing work, too, goes in the area. The

paved area adjacent to the net mending shed, Dry fish processing etc. are provided.

2.6.19 Greeneries and Landscaping

In order to enhance the Aesthetic sand beauty of the surrounding environment, a landscape

garden is proposed at the southern end of the premises. In addition, greenery could be provided

at important locations in the fishery harbour. The areas located from this purpose are shown in

the fishery harbour layout.

2.6.20 Fire Extinguisher

In case of outbreak of fire at any location within the fishery harbour complex by any reason, it is

necessary to extinguish the fire at the instant without waiting for the fire brigade to come and do

Draft Report




so. For that purpose, fire extinguishers are necessary to be installed at important locations. They

should be clearly visible to common public and accessible. A list of fire extinguishers containing

information like type of the extinguisher, for which type of fire it is suitable, brief method of

operations, their locations in the harbour complex, date of renewal etc., could be displayed at the

entrance and at places where the extinguisher is placed. Further their charges should be regularly

renewed. Buckets filled with sand may be kept at some places and fire hydrants should be clearly

marked for easy access and located at main junctions.

2.6.21 Fencing/Compound Wall & Gate complex

For the safety and security reasons, the limits or boundaries of the fishery harbour need to be

delineated physically at the fishery harbour by constructing a wire fence / compound wall of

sufficient height to give required security. The fence line or the compound wall will have a

deterring effect on the trespassers / intruders regarding theft, pilferage and other crimes likely to

take place in the fishery harbour area. It would be well to suggest that the fish landing centers

with low budget can have only a fence line in time with the encompassed fishery harbour

properties, while larger establishments like minor or major fishery harbours can afford to have a

secured masonry compound wall. Access to the fishery harbour area should be by means of one

or two entrances with suitably guarded security personnel, if required by establishing guard

houses and posting security personnel at such places round the clock. All along the Porbandar

harbour wall of 1500m is proposed. Considering the security aspects it is proposed to have only

two gates in the premises of the fishery harbour along with the security cabin and toll station.

2.7 Effluent Treatment Plant

Sewage water from the fish handling and auction hall and other landside buildings of the fishery

harbour complex before using into greenbelt should be properly treated and disinfected for

containments for which provisions is made for effluent treatment system and septic tanks in

individual buildings. Effluent collected from the fish handling and auction hall at the end of the

sewers would be given treatment in a specially built compact Effluent Treatment Plant of 1 MLD

capacity. The proposed effluent treatment unit would include fully covered RCC tanks for

collecting sewage water taking into account hydraulic gradient, site elevation and outfall

conditions. Further, the effluent treatment plant would be designed to be aesthetically attractive

and visually compatible with the surrounding area and land uses. The location of the effluent

Draft Report




treatment unit is shown in fishery harbour layout. It is proposed to use fresh water for all the

purposes in line with EU standard.

Detailed layouts of ETP and STP are attached as Annexure II.

The water demand is estimated based on the volume of Fish landings at auction halls, Ice plant

water requirements, Outfitting water demand based on per day traffic and domestic requirement

at fishing harbor facilities. Water is used for fish washing, cleaning etc. inside the auction hall.

The total water demand worked is about 3.7 MLD. It is proposed to use fresh water for all the

purposes in line with EU standard. Total waste water generated from fish processing is estimated

as 1.0 MLD and waste water generated from water supply for human consumption at the rate of

80% of potable water supply is estimated at about 100 KLD or 0.1 MLD.

During Operation Phase

The water demand is estimated based on the volume of Fish landings at auction halls, Ice plant

water requirements, Outfitting water demand based on per day traffic and domestic requirement

at fishing harbour facilities. Water is used for fish washing, cleaning etc. inside the auction Hall.

The total water demand worked is about 3.7 MLD

The major cost components for water supply

• Underground Reservoir

• Pump-House (Including Electro-mech. Items)

• Overhead storage tank

• Pipeline-Receiving mains & Distribution lines

• Pipeline (small dia) for distribution

• Meter/ Bulk meter/ Outlets & other accessories
