OVERVIEW

About Goa and Mormugao

Goa has a rich heritage with much associated legend. It is referred to in ancient Hindu mythology writtenthousands of years ago. According to historians, Goa was ruled by many dynasties like theBhojas, the Konkan Mauryas, Goan Silharas dynasty, the Kadambas, the Vijaynagara empire etc.Empires rose and fell in Goa, and in its long and illustrious history the Port City of Goa and later on Portof Mormugao withstood the test of times. It has a long history associated with it. Th e origin of this modernport known, as Mormugao Port owed to the Treaty of Lisbon signed in 1878 between British andPortuguese Governments.

Mormugao Port, a protected open type natural harbor, is situated on magnificent and hospitable coastline

on th e West India in the latitude 1525 north and longitude 7348 east at the mouth of the river Zuari inthe state of Goa. The Port is approximately 370 kms south of Mumbai, 300 kms north of New Mangaloreand 575 kms north of Kochi. The Harbour is also protected from the Southwest monsoon as it has beenconstructed on the leeward side of Mormugao Headland.

Mormugao Port, which has made iron ore mining and its export from Goa possible, hasbeen primarily instrumental in bestowing on Goa and its people better socio-economic indicators.Ever since it was accorded the status of a Major Port in 1963, the Mormugao port has contributed immenselyto growth of maritime trade in India. It is the leading iron ore exporting port of India with an annualthroughput of around 27.33 million tons of iron ore traffic.

History and development of Mormugao Port

Mormugao is one of India's earliest modern ports, its first wharf facilities having been built as early as1888, the year when Bombay's prestigious Victoria Dock was constructed, five years before the first DockSystem of Calcutta came into being and 25 years before the completion of the Madras Harbour. ThoughMormugao could not, for historical and political reasons, flourish as best as its counterpart in the manydecades that followed, in the course of the last one decade alone, destiny in the shape of the bountifuldiscovery of iron ore in Goa and political liberation of Goa has brought it back to the forefront of India'spremier ports.

The port of Mormugao, a fast expanding major port of India and gateway to a growing industrial complex,is situated on the west coast of India, in Goa at the mouth of the Zuari River. Old Goa, which had beendiscarded in favour of new Goa (Panaji) in 1818 could no longer serve as a port for international tradeand receive the growing sizes of stream ships. It was thus, left to the British initiative to built a port for Goa, suiting the changing needs of time.

The West of India Portuguese Guaranteed Railway Company (WIPR) responsible for building the port of Mormugao and its connected railway owed its origin to the treaty of Lisbon between the British andPortuguese government. This treaty, inter alia was for the purpose of having a union of commercialinterest between India and Goa so that as far as trade was concerned the port should provide adequateaccommodation for all the hinterland trade of the Southern Maratha and other district of India, and for all

such commercial purposes should function exactly the same manner as an Indian Port or port of transit.The port and its connected railway up to Castlerock commenced functioning in 1888.

Initially berth No. 1 and 2 together with the break water 1, 714' long were built in 1888. Berth No. 3 and 4together with the mole 885' long were built in 1917 and berth No. 5 & 6 in the year 1934. Mechanical oreloading plant at berth No. 6 was installed in 1959 by M/S Chowgule and Co. the concessionaries of theberths with a rated loading capacity of 600 tonnes per hour, which from 1965 was expanded andimproved upto 1000 tons per hour. Lighter berth No. 7 was also built in 1959 as part of the ore plant. In 1902, a working arrangement was arrived at between the Southern Maratha Railway and the WestIndia Portuguese Guaranteed Railway under which later was to be regarded as part of the former and


5/18

port of Mormugao was the port of transit for Indian trade. This arrangement continued upto August 1954when the Southern Maratha Railway ceased to operated traffic between Goa and the rest of the countryand worked the railway between port and sanvordem within Goa. Consequent on the closure of the India- Goa border, the Southern railway which had been managing the port railway as sub-contractors ceasedall operations in Goa in December 1955, administration of the Port of Mormugao and the connectedrailway reverted to their principal WIP railway company w.e.f. January 1956, the activities being limited toGoa only.

On April 1, 1961, an autonomous body named "Junta Autonoma Dos Portos e Caminhos de ferro" tookover the port and railway administration from the WIP railway company soon after this change over, thelong awaited liberated and reunion of Goa with India took place on 19th December 1961 and theadministration of the Port and its connected railway was taken over by the government of India throughan administrative office who was appointed by the President of India on 8th January 1962. By an order published in the "Bolletin Offical" (Official Gazette) dated 8th February 1962, Military government in theGoa Daman and Deu dissolved the "Junta Autonoma Dos Portos e Caminhos de ferro do estado daIndia".

The port of Mormugao like other ports of India came under direct control of government of India Ministryof Transport, instead of the local government of Goa as per the decision arrived at 7th November 1962 atinter ministarial meeting held in New Delhi.

In accordance with the decision taken at an inter ministerial meeting held at New Delhi the main railwaystation from vasco da gama to the border of Goa was transferred to the Southern railway w.e.f. 1st May1963.

The Indian Ports Act, 1908 was extended to Goa under notification dated 2nd December 1963 andMormugao Port was declared a major port by the Ministry of Transport. Major port trust Act, 1963 wasmade applicable to the port of Mormugao and a board was trustees was constituted with effect from 1stMay 1964.

Development in key points:

Work of construction harbor and Railway commenced in 1882

By 1959, 7 berth constructed including one dedicated to mechanized iron ore handlng by privateparty , M/s Chowgule & Co. Pvt. Ltd.,

Harbour data, Berths, Moorings & Anchorage Facilities

In Goa currently more than 50% of ore loading is done through Berth No: 9, Mormugao Port. The rest isthrough Transhipper harboured within the Port limits of Mormugao & Panaji Port, Manual Mid-streamloading.

Mormugao Port is a natural harbour. It may be considered a mono Port, as 85% of the cargo handled isIron Ore. Berth No: 9 is exclusively allocated for handling Iron Ore. It is a noteworthy fact that the Goanexporters are the major contributors to the flourishing of these ports.

The Mormugao Port offers a wide range of standard facilities for pilotage, towage, lighterage, bunkering,

loading, unloading, transit sheds, wharehouses, freighting, medical aid and supplies etc. The mostspecialized services for ore handling are provided. Repair and service facilities are available at GoaShipyard, Government of India Undertaking, and at other specialised private firms.

Annually about 14 million tons of Iron Ore is exported through Mormugao Port which is listed as one of the major ports of India, It continually records the highest export tonnage of ore with the avail of a highlysophisticated, high capacity Mechanical Ore Handling Plant for Iron Ore. The iron ore produced is broughtfrom the mines to the riverbank from where it is loaded into barges and transported to the port. Theaverage distance from the mines to the river point is 12 kms and the average time taken by the barge to


7/18

reach the port from the river point after loading is approximately 4 hours. The barges' capacity rangesfrom 700 to 2,500 tons, with the average capacity being 1200 tons.

The following three modes of loading are available at Mormugao Port:

1. Berth No: 9

Mormugao port has a mechanical ore-handling complex. At present the limited draft at Berth No: 9,permits the loading of only Panamax size vessels. However the Cape size vessels can be up topped upto200,000 tones or more by transhippers (loading vessels), which are owned and maintained by theexporters. The transhippers thus play a complementary role in the port's operations and help raiseMormugao port to international standards.

Mechanical Ore Handling Plant (MOHP) at berth no. 9 which was commissioned in 1979. The major portion of iron ore trade is presently handled through the MOHP. The annual turnover of this plant isapproximately 8 million tons. The loading rate, which can be achieved per day, is between 20,000 to35,000 tons depending upon the size of the vessels and whether it is a gearless vessel. The Maximumloading draft at berth no. 9 is: Fair season (November to may) 13.00 m (12.30 At any state of tide) (11.50To 12.80 progressively) From September to October) Monsoon ( June to 15th September) 11.00 m

2. Transfer Vessel (T/V) or TranshipperMechanical loading by Transhipper vessels. The transhipper is a mechanical ore handling vessel whichcan load vessels without any Draft Restrictions in mid-stream. (Excluding the monsoon period). Theloading rate, which can be achieved per day, is between 12,000 to 15,00 tons depending on the weather.Presently there are five such Transhippers available at Mormugao port belonging to private exporters,which are available for loading vessels on spot basis and subject to port authority approval.

3. Grab loading by ships grabsGenerally ships below 30000 DWT, which cannot be accommodated at berth no. 9, are loaded by shipsown grabs in mid-stream. The loading rate on a well equipped grab fitted vessel of 6 cubic meter grab1,5000 tons Per Day, Per Grab can be achieved.
