  8. Importance of IWT for NER • A cost effective & environment friendly mode • Best suited for bulk goods, ODC, Project cargo & hazardous goods • IWT offers shorter, alternative route to Lower Assam, Tripura, Mizoram & Manipur • Provides port- hinterland connectivity to entire region – Kolkata – Haldia • Access to Chittagong port by Bangladesh set to change EXIM cargo transport pattern in NER as well as Bhutan

  9. Importance of IWT for NER • 891 km stretch of Brahmaputra developed as NW 2; 121 km stretch of Barak river under consideration as NW 6 • So, about 1012 km of National Waterways likely • Another 1566 km stretch of tributaries of Brahmaputra & Barak identified in NER for development as State Waterways – Feeder routes • Kaladan multi-modal transport project set to provide alternate route through Myanmar to NER • Nagaland can get access to Myanmar through development of Tizu river link • River Brahmaputra offers immense scope for development of ‘river cruise’ & ‘eco-tourism’ in NER

  10. Status of NW-2 …. essential requirements 1. Fairway with targeted depth & width 2. Aids for 24 hrs navigation 3. Terminals with cargo handling equipment and Road- Rail link 4. Vessels First three by Govt; fourth by Private sector

  11. Status of NW- 2 Projects being implemented for making NW-2 fully functional : Fairway • Least available depth (LAD) of 2.5 m between Dhubri- Neamati (630 km); • 2.0 m between Neamati-Dibrugarh (138 km) • 1.5 m between Dibrugarh-Sadiya (123 km) • IWAI has 2 dredgers at present (1 CSD and 1 HSD) • 2 more CSD & one HSD being added in 2012-13

  12. Status of NW- 2 Navigation aids • 24 hrs navigation aids in 440km (Dhubri- Silghat), which can be extended to entire waterway depending on necessity • DGPS station set up at Jogighopa and works are nearing completion at Silghat and Dibrugarh • One more DGPS station will be set up at Dhubri • These DGPS will provide safe navigation to Inland vessels using electronic navigational charts • Fortnightly talweg survey through 6 survey vessels of IWAI; river notices being issued • Besides, pilots are provided to cargo vessels

  13. Status of NW- 2 Terminals • IWT Port Pandu • IWT Port at Pandu has been developed by IWAI as a hub for multimodal connectivity in the North-East region by investing Rs. 100 Cr. • Low level permanent jetty is operational with mechanical handling equipment • Rail connectivity (BG) completed and ready for commissioning • Road connectivity already available • High level jetty in progress • Alternate road connectivity with NH-31 for container/heavy traffic is under construction

Slipway facilities at Pandu • A partially built slipway (ship repair facility) of Assam Govt’s exists at Pandu • IWAI proposes to develope this slipway on Joint management basis with IWT- Assam, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers and IWAI. • A concept note for this project has been prepared through IL&FS and forwarded to Govt. of Assam for their views /suggestions. • Ministry of DoNER has been requested to keep a budgetary provision of Rs. 20 Cr for this project under NLCPR- Central during 2012-13

  25. Construction of other terminals • IWAI is working out the modalities for movement of FCI foodgrains for PDS through IWT to cater the needs of upper Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and adjoining areas • Terminals needs to be developed at Oryumghat, Bogibeel, Matmara, Biswanathghat and Tejpur for unloading foodgrains • State Government has been requested to acquire land at identified locations • Ministry of DoNER has been requested to keep a budgetary provision of Rs. 10 Cr for road connectivity of these IWT terminals under NLCPR- Central during 2012-13

  26. Recent Study by RITES • IWAI has recently conducted a study through RITES (July 2011) for ‘identification of potential waterways of NER’ • 23 river stretches identified • State Governments may develop these waterways using own resources/CSS /NLCPR-Central Map Details

  27. Transportation of FCI foodgrains • FCI initiated the action for transportation of 10,000 MT of foodgrain from Kolkata to Tripura via Ashuganj on a trial basis • Tender was floated during Feb 2012 which remained non-responsive due to: • Small quantity of cargo • Wrong jetty selection at Kolkata • Very high security deposit

  28. Transportation of coal • NTPC has plan to transport 0.5 MMTPA of imported coal from Bay of Bengal to Bongaigaon by IWT • To materilize this transportation terminal & loading/unloading facility at Jogighopa and last mile connectivity from Jogighopa to Bongaigaon by Government funding need to be explored • IL&FS-IDC has been requested to prepare the Feasibility Report after making field visit alongwith NTPC, Railways and IWAI officials

  29. Transportation of pipes • ONGC and Oil India Ltd. is to convey their decision for transporting their pipes and other cargo to North –East through IWT mode • ONGC & Oil India will have to give a long term commitment of cargo through IWT mode including the details of O-D points • MoU needs to be signed between IWAI and these Companies • Thereafter they have to float a tender to select the transport operator in consultation with IWAI

  30. Transportation of containers • About 80 TEUs per week traffic exists between Pandu - Kolkata • CONCOR, Kolkata inspected the IWT terminal at Pandu • Long term commitment is required from CONCOR for transportation of part of their container cargo by IWT
