Visakhapatnam, Oct (EPC News): The Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) has shortlisted six players—including five consortia—which responded to the requests for qualification (RFQs) document for the proposed mechanisation of coal handling facilities and upgradation of general cargo berths at its outer harbour to cater to 200,000 DWT vessels. |

The five consortia are Sterlite Industries-Leighton Contractors (I) Pvt. Ltd, Vadinar Oil Terminal Ltd-Essar Ports & Terminal Ltd, Gammon Infrastructure Projects Ltd-John Laing Investment Ltd, IMICO-Punj Lloyd and Mundra Port & SEZ Ltd-Adani Enterprises Ltd. The solo bidder is L&T Transco.
The first RFQs were invited in December 2007. They were subsequently cancelled and fresh RFQs were invited in September last year.
On completion of the project, targeted at November 2011, the Port’s capacity for handling coal will increase to five million tonnes a year. The estimated cost is Rs440 crore.
This is part of the additional 10-million tonne capacity VPT proposes to create for handling coal, the other plan being the development of EQ-1A berth in the inner harbour to handle steam coal and coke. For this, the RFQs were issued on June 30. The last date for submission of applications was August 12.
The original cost of the project, to be implemented under design, build, finance, operate and transfer (DBFOT) was at Rs344 crore.
