SMP Kolkata Rejuvenates Berth No.3 Mechanical Facility
To boost Eastern coast energy logistics, SMP Kolkata Rejuvenates Berth No.3 Mechanical Facility.
To begin with, this critical infrastructure facility lies on the port’s Haldia Dock Complex (HDC).
Â
- Moreover, it implements an integrated rail-to-sea transportation system.
- Furthermore, it helps lower railway freight by moving Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL) coal directly to Haldia.
- In addition, it links Eastern India’s coalfields with multiple southern regional thermal power plants.
- On top of this, it significantly reduces vessel turnaround times through fully automated mechanisation.
- Most importantly, it lowers the bulk energy transportation costs for downstream power plants, supporting regional power grids.

Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Kolkata Port Modernisation Initiatives are focusing on Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and terminal mechanisation.
- After this, it helps to cut ship turnaround times and expand regional cargo handling capacity.
- Additionally, they have modernised the port with advanced yard equipment and digital tools, cutting turnaround times by half.
- In other words, the project upgrades the 60-year-old bridge’s steel structure and electro-mechanical gears at the Kolkata Dock System.
- This helps in speeding up the port traffic.
- In conclusion, they have upgraded railway lines and yard facilities to enable full rake handling and reduce terminal detention times.
Conclusion
The rejuvenation of the fully mechanized Berth No. 3 at Haldia Dock Complex (HDC) marks an operational triumph for Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port (SMP), Kolkata. By resuming coastal thermal coal handling after a nine-month gap, the project establishes a more efficient, and cost-effective bulk energy supply chain across India’s eastern coast. Moreover, it revives the mechanical coal handling facility and enhances cargo throughput. In addition, it reduces vessel turnaround times and improve operational efficiency.
