The Port Day was observed on the auspicious day of Kartik

Purnima by the Paradip Port Trust Authorities on 23-11-2018 as

being done every year. On this occasion, Shri Rinkesh Roy,

Chairman, Paradip Port Trust attended the function as Chief Guest

and unfurled the Paradip Port Flag at Wet Basin in the morning. He

performed the traditional Kalas Puja & handed over the sacred

Kalas to the Sadhavas who set sail on board a traditionally

decorated boat. He also inspected the Port Marine crafts lined up

in the Harbour and took salute.

Thereafter Dy. Conservator, Paradip Port Capt. A.K. Mohapatra

welcomed the guests in the meeting and explained the importance

of Port Day celebration.

Extending his greetings to the gathering on the auspicious occasion

of Kartika Purnima, Shri Rinkesh Roy, Chairman, Paradip Port

Trust lauded the Marine Deptt. achievement of a commendable 27

vessel movements in 24 Hrs. and also for the first time

Mediterranean Mooring type berthing of ship carrying edible oil in

the Eastern Coast. He informed that Rs. 3,500 Cr. Port

modernization programme is in full swing, which will result in

capacity augmentation of 55-60 MMT over the existing capacity,

thus by enabling the Port to become the No. 1 Port in the country in

terms of cargo handling. For providing safe drinking water to the

local community, a Desalination Project in consulation with

National Institute of Ocean Technology will be taken up and is

expected to be commissioned by December, 2019. PPT Board has

approved for 350 Nos. New Quarters for the employees. In order

to curb pollution and dust suppression, constructions of concrete

roads has already been started in the township. Dry Fog Dust

Suppression System has been implemented at Mechanised Coal

Handing Plant (MCHP) for unloading the coal from the Rail Wagon

without spreading of coal dust. For the first time among Major

Ports, Group Insurance Scheme covering both employees and

contractual workers has been implemented in PPT. For the benefit

of local fishing community, PPT will spend around Rs. 15 Cr. by

this year end for dredging the Confluence Point of River Mahanadi.

Under CSR, PPT has provided financial assistance to the Jaipur

Weaver Craft Village, where the local weavers can sell their

handloom products. Besides, many other programmes aiming for

upliftment of the needy people around the Port township are being

taken up by the Port Authority.

Shri K Ramchandra Rao, Chief Engineer, PPT who attended as

Guest of Honour and threw light on the overall development of

Paradip Port. Finally, Shri S. K. Sahu, FA & CAO, Paradip Port Trust

extended vote of thanks.

State Government's biennial global investors' summit "Make in

Odisha Conclave 2018" was organised at the Janata Maidan,

Bhubaneswar from 11th to 15th November. A panel discussion

was organised on the opportunities and challenges for Chemicals

& Petrochemicals Industry, in which Shri Rinkesh Roy, Chairman,

PPT was one of the panellists. PPT has also put up a stall in the

conclave.

Paradip Port Trust has made a paradigm shift on 06.11.18 by

introducing ship loading of 20,112MT of blended coal in the

vessel M.V Diamond Star containing high grade coal of ECL(G4

grade)with low grade coal of MCL (G12 grade) at the ratio of

35%:65%to achieve a higher GCV suitable for Vallure Thermal

power station of M/s NTECL.

Thermal power plants blend high grade coal with low grade coal to

achieve the intended Gross Calorific Value(GCV) at the power

plant end. Mostly the high grade coal is imported from Indonesia.

In India high grade coal with high GCV is available in ECL, CCL &

SECL as against abundance supply of low grade coal from MCL.

Possibly for the first time in India, two different grades of domestic

coal were blended at a Port to achieve the same effect of blending

with imported coal. This would be in the direction of import

substitution of Indonesian coal and will go a long way in saving

precious foreign exchange for the country.

In the blending process carried out at the Mechanised Coal

Handling Plant of PPT,02 different grades of coal from different

collieries were homogeneously blended by mechanised process.

Re-circulation of high grade coal from Stackyard through

Reclaimers& low grade coal unloaded directly from wagons will

pass through a common junction house to form blended coal as

per the desired ratio.

This blending process at MCHP, PPT has the following

advantages:-

w Homogeneous blending to ensure the blend remains

consistent.

w Controlled automated blending system by programmable logic

control to maintain accurate blending ratio.

w Creation of Thermal Coal hub for availability of desired grade of

blended coal on F.O.B basis.

w Reduction in inventory cost of Thermal Power Plants.

w Import Substitution resulting in substantial savings of Foreign

Exchequer.

w Major activities of Thermal Power Plant i.e handling of different

grade of Thermal Coals, blending operation can be eliminated

there by saving on time & cost.

w No additional cost for blending operations resulting in

reduction of generation cost.

Mechanised coal handling plant (MCHP) of PPT commissioned in

Sept. 2001 is one of the premier bulk material handling system in

Asia. The plant is equipped with state of the art technology and

serves the purpose of exporting thermal coal to the power plants in

southern India. Since inception, the plant has achieved many

milestones in operational parameters like high berth productivity,

minimum turn-around time of vessels which are at par with

international standards Further dual loading of vessels using two

ship loaders simultaneously is one of the major achievements of

the plant.
