JNPA has developed the coastal berth with a capacity of 2.8 MTPA to provide a dedicated berth for coastal cargo. The facility was developed in November 2020 and commissioned in July 2021. Currently, the berth is operated by M/s. Nhava Sheva Distribution Terminal Pvt. Ltd. The evacuation of cargo from this coastal berth currently involves a level crossing of Railway lines (4 nos. at present) and a road for Inter Terminal Rail Handling Operation. With four tracks intersecting the road leading to the Landing Jetty and Coastal Berth, this leads to frequent halts in traffic when trains pass through. This congestion can result in longer travel times for vehicles and disrupt the flow of goods and people to and from the port. The ITRHO road intersects the existing road perpendicularly at this location. This road is essential for the movement of container traffic to and from the port. Restricting this traffic to a single road means that any congestion or delay at the railway crossing can have a significant impact on the efficiency of port operations and logistics. With JNPA becoming DFCC compliant and works of DFCC nearing completion, frequency of cargo rakes at JNPA is envisaged to increase and therefore with increased frequency, such level crossings would cause congestion and reduced cargo handling efficiency at the Port. These railway lines are vital feeders to the JNPA port yards, including JNPA, GTIPL, and Shallow Berth. Any halt in traffic due to train movement not only affects the efficiency of port operations but can also block the movement of goods and people to these important facilities. To overcome these challenges, a Railway Over Bridge has been conceptualized.
The construction of a Rail Over Bridge at this location will alleviate congestion, improve traffic flow, enhance security, and accommodate the expected increase in railway traffic and berth traffic. This project will contribute to the overall efficiency and safety of the transportation network in the area, benefiting both the port and the local community.
