We have commissioned Floating Jetty under License Agreement with Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT) to handle Barges / Mini Bulk Carrier. The barges / Mini Bulk Carrier will not have to enter the port confines through the lock gate. This is allowing faster turnaround operations, as discharge at this jetty can directly commence without sequencing Barges with Vessel through lock gate. It has a capacity of 2.5 MT PA.
