Mumbai Port launches key initiatives

The Mumbai Port launched several significant projects on Friday and signed investment proposals worth Rs 40 billion in areas including sustainability and green fuel, with the initiatives expected to generate 1.45 lakh person-days of employment, according to a statement from the port operator.

The Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) related to these investments were signed in the presence of Union Minister for Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, during his visit to the port. Among the agreements, one MoU was signed between the Mumbai Port Authority, Mumbai Port Sustainability Foundation (MPSF), and HPCL for developing a green fuel ecosystem, while another was signed between Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and MPSF to collaborate on emission management, decarbonisation, digitisation, and safety in port and shipping operations. DNV, a Norway-based company, provides services related to quality management, risk assessment, and sustainability.

Earlier in the day, Sonowal virtually inaugurated several key projects, including the commencement of testing operations for the newly-constructed 3rd chemical berth at Pir Pau jetty. During his visit, the minister also inaugurated an automation system and programmable logic controller (PLC) at the Marine Oil Terminal and the MPSF, among others. Additionally, Sonowal laid the foundation for the shore protection and reclamation project at Jawahar Dweep.

Mumbai Port also announced that it had handed over land transfer documents for various leasing agreements, including the leasing of two plots to Mahanagar Gas Nigam Ltd and two plots at Pir Pau to Aegis Logistics for liquid bulk storage. The renewal of leases for the Mazagaon Dock Shipbuilders and other agreements were also finalised during the minister's visit.
