Paradip fishing harbor to be modernized

Union Minister for Fisheries ParshottamRupala and his counterpart from the Ports Ministry SarbanandaSonowal will lay the foundation for a project to modernise and upgrade Paradip fishing harbor, on January 8th.

The Central government has approved a proposal of Paradip Port Authority for modernisation and up-gradation of Paradip fishing harbor at an estimated cost of Rs 108.91 crore with full funding. The project will be completed in 18 months.  

The Paradip fishing harbor with an enclosed area of around 43 acre, is one of major fishing harbours in the state located on the right bank of Mahanadi river, two km upstream of its mouth in Jagatsinghpur district.

The harbour was initially designed to accommodate 370 10 m vessel, 80 13 m and 50 15 m vessel and traditional craft. However, at present around 640 15 m vessel and 100 9 m Gill Netter (FRP boats) are using the harbor.  

The modernization and up-gradation of the fishing harbor envisages construction of a new auction hall, commercial complex, extension of quay wall, shore protection works, renovation of existing auction hall, gear shed, fish packing shed, ice crushing hall and a first aid centre.
