RAPID TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR<br />

DEVELOPMENT OF COLACHEL PORT AT TAMILNADU<br />

FINAL REPORT<br />

Figure 141: Two different types of reach stackers (RS)<br />

The connectivity from the yard to outside the container terminal can be done by two ways, by road or by<br />

railway. If the container enters or leaves the terminal by road, a normal truck is used.<br />

On the other side, if the mode of transport is a train, a internal vehicle must transfer the container from the<br />

stacking yard to the rail yard. This can be made by reach stackers or internal vehicles like tractors. Loading the<br />

train car is usually made by Rail Mounted Gantry cranes (RMG), although it can be made by RS too.<br />

Figure 142: Rail yard with Rail Mounted Gantry cranes<br />

A total of 9 STS cranes, 44 A-RMG cranes, 16 SC, 2 RMG cranes for the rail yard, 2 RS and 4 tractors have<br />

been estimated to be needed for terminal operations.<br />
