Abstract
The proposed 12 Million Ton Per Year (MTPY) Dhamra-Chand-bali Bulk Terminal, in Orissa, India is slated for development by International Seaports Pre. Limited (ISPL). The terminal was designed to handle a complex mix of the following dry- bulk cargo: Coking Coal Imports, Thermal Coal Experts, and Iron Ore Exports. The transportation system for cargo movement under the control of the terminal operator included, (1) A 17 km Navigation Channel, (2) A high volume Dry Bulk Import/Export Terminal and, (3) A 61 km Single-line Rail Link. The 12 Million Tons throughput would consist of a cargo mix for five different shippers. Over 200 vessels and almost 3,000 Indian Railways rakes (unit trains) would be required to move the 12 Million Tons of cargo each year.
