KSPL To Expand Offshore Support Vessel Complex Finger Jetty

25 Feb 2026 CW Team

The expansion will involve an extension of the finger jetty and upgrades to mooring, fendering and berth utilities to accommodate a broader range of OSV types. Associated marine works are expected to include targeted dredging to maintain required navigation depths and shore reinforcement to ensure long term resilience against tidal and weather forces. Onshore improvements will focus on access roads, lighting and cargo handling equipment to speed up transfer operations.

Project proponents expect the enhancements to reduce vessel turnaround times and increase the throughput capacity of the port, thereby improving service reliability for offshore operators and suppliers. Improved berthing arrangements are also intended to raise safety standards and reduce low speed manoeuvring in the harbour, which can mitigate collision and environmental risks. The work is described as likely to have positive spillover effects for local logistics, supporting vendors, labour and associated businesses.

KSPL is reported to be working with the port authority and regulatory agencies to secure necessary clearances and to coordinate construction windows that limit impacts on shipping schedules. Contracting is anticipated to follow standard procurement procedures with an emphasis on contractor experience in marine infrastructure. Monitoring arrangements will be established to oversee environmental controls, safety management and adherence to agreed timelines throughout the construction and commissioning phases.

KSPL will expand the offshore support vessel (OSV) complex finger jetty at its deep water port to strengthen maritime logistics and berthing capacity for vessels that support offshore energy and marine services. The project is presented as a strategic response to rising demand for specialised berths and to streamline supply chain operations for offshore activities. Planning documents indicate the work will prioritise operational efficiency and minimise disruption to existing services during construction.

Jindal Stainless Flags Operational Strain From Middle East Crisis

Jindal Stainless warned that the Middle East war crisis has affected its operations because of dependence on industrial gases such as propane and LPG and on natural gas. The scrap-based production route used by the stainless steel maker does not generate blast furnace or coke oven gases internally, unlike the conventional steel industry. Several plant processes have been adversely impacted and production is being run at rationalised capacity. Disruptions in global shipping routes have resulted in vessel diversions, longer transit times and cargo delays, adding pressure to supply chains and to ..
