The sorely felt
need for mobile harbour cranes at the Mormugao Port was
finally met with the arrival of two Liebherr mobile harbour cranes, each with a
lifting capacity of 125 tonnes, from Germany. Along with the arrival of
the harbour cranes aboard the MV Charlie, the Mormugao Port Authority (MPA)
initiated discussions with two container feeder
operators for shipping links to either Mundra port in Gujarat or
Vizhinjam International Seaport in Kerala. Both these ports are operated by
Adani Ports.
According to MPA officials, it
will take 15-20 days for the two mobile cranes to be set up and
operationalised, and another three months for the feeder service to commence
from Mormugao. The cranes will be
operated at berths 10 and 11, which MPA handed over to Delta Ports Mormugao
Terminal Pvt Ltd as part of a 30-year lease.
Mormugao Port used to handle
containerised cargo earlier and even hit around 38,000 TEUs per annum. However,
the port’s harbour crane broke down in 2020, and the feeder service for the
container cargo also stopped operations as there was no harbour crane to load
container cargo. The ministry for ports,
shipping and waterways (MoS) asked MPA to procure a 100-tonne mobile crane as
part of a tender to redevelop berths 10 and 11 under the public-private
partnership (PPP) model.
