July 05, 2020: The outer mooring terminal at Haldia Dock Complex was commissioned with the berthing of M.T Qian Tai 1 carrying a consignment of around 12000 mt of crude palm oil of Ruchi Soya Industries Ltd.
In order to achieve exponential growth in cargo throughput as well as to optimise lock operations window, an off-shore mooring and cargo handling facility has been constructed north of berth-18 at a cost of Rs.3.8 crore.
This jetty will be able to handle around 1mmt of cargo which otherwise would have been handled inside the dock.
