The master plan of the port provides for a total of 13 berths to handle more than 100 million MT per annum
consisting of all types of cargo such as dry bulk, break bulk, liquid bulk and containerized cargo in different independent zones.
The facilities for handling clean cargo like steel and containers have been planned in the southern part of the port keeping wind direction in view whereas the liquid bulk cargo has been planned in the north side. The dry bulk cargo has been planned in the middle keeping in view soil type and distance to the berth.
Phase-I:
The capacity during Phase-I will be 12.00 million MT per annum of coal and 6.50 million MT per annum 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 March 2012.
