Enayam Port

Tamil Research Institute
RAPID TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF COLACHEL PORT AT TAMILNADU
FINAL REPORT
• Use electrical supply from the port main to the ship for all purposes for the entire period of stay in the port.
This reduces pollution and also to reduce the diesel generated power consumption from the ship. Similarly
most of the Cranes in the port will also use electric power.
• Transportation vehicles to be properly and timely maintained and serviced regularly to control the emission
of air pollutants in order to maintain the emissions of PM, CO, NOx and SOx within the limits established
by international regulations.
• All static and mobile diesel-powered plant / generator sets to be used only during power cut.
• Use of good quality fuel and lubricants to be promoted. Moreover, low sulphur content diesel to be used
as fuel for generator sets to control emission of SO 2 .
• Generators, machineries and vehicles are to be serviced and maintained regularly to avoid generation of
dust and other air pollutants.
• Regular verification of .certificates of all the vehicles entering into the port area.
• Prohibition of use of old vehicles for construction and operational phase and use of electric cars inside the
port area for all transport requirements.
• Developing air quality management procedures for ship operators, such as navigation of port access areas
at partial power, achieving full power only after leaving the port area, limiting the practice of blowing soot
from tubes or flues on steam boilers.
• Vegetation screens alongside the port access roads will be included and apply of speed restrictions in
order to the dispersion of pollutants from roads.
• If the annual nitrogen dioxide concentrations exceed internationally accepted standards for protection of
human health port operator have to consider resettlement of the residents living adjacent to the port access
road.
• Although entire land area of port side is a green belt wherever possible thick greenbelt in port and its
associated facilities will be provided.
