Dhamra Port is being constructed on the eastern coast of India, to the north of mouth of river Dhamra, in Bhadrak district of Orissa. The Dhamra Port when commissioned will be one of the deepest ports in India, with a depth of 18 metres, capable of handling super capesize vessels up to 180000 DWT. This port will have a cargo handling capacity of more than 100 million MT per annum. However, during Phase-I the handling capacity will be 12 million MT per annum for import of coal/limestone and 6.50 million MT per annum for export of iron ore. DPCL is in the process of augmenting the export capacity of iron ore by another 6.50 million MT per annum with the help of an additional wagon tippler by December 2010. Being in close proximity to the mineral heartland of India, viz. Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal, setting up of this port is expected to result in substantial cost savings for industries in steel, power and mining sector. Dhamra Port has a potential to become a hub port for dry bulk, liquid bulk, break-bulk, containerized and other general cargo.
