This revamping of WQ 6 will enable VPA to handle all types of dry bulk cargo on DBFOT (design, build, finance, operate and transfer) basis with the ICTPL, a subsidiary SPV of Orissa Stevedores Limited (OSL Group). .

“We are implementing the asset monetisation to become landlord port. This facility will add more throughputs to the port. The proposed facility is semi-mechanisation of the existing WQ-6 berth with a berth length of 255 metres and with a draft of 14 metres,” said the VPA Chairman M. Angamuthu.

“The project envisages installation of two new Harbour Mobile Crane (HMC) of 1,200 tons per hour with lifting capacity of 100 tons, two mobile hoppers, stock pile strengthening, installation of dust suppression system with monitors, electrical works, along with other handling equipment like cranes, loaders, trucks, fork lifts with a total investment of ₹165.70 crore,” he added.

.

The entire construction work is likely to complete within 18 months from the date of award of concession. The total concession period is 30 years.

What is more socially significant is the proposed facility is likely to generate at least 100 direct and indirect employments.
