Importance of IWT for NER
A cost effective & environment friendly mode Best suited for bulk goods, ODC, Project cargo &
hazardous goods IWT offers shorter, alternative route to Lower
Assam, Tripura, Mizoram & Manipur Provides port- hinterland connectivity to entire
region – Kolkata – Haldia Access to Chittagong port by Bangladesh set to
change EXIM cargo transport pattern in NER as well as Bhutan
8
Importance of IWT for NER 891 km stretch of Brahmaputra developed as NW 2; 121
km stretch of Barak river under consideration as NW 6 So, about 1012 km of National Waterways likely Another 1566 km stretch of tributaries of Brahmaputra
& Barak identified in NER for development as State Waterways – Feeder routes
Kaladan multi-modal transport project set to provide alternate route through Myanmar to NER
Nagaland can get access to Myanmar through development of Tizu river link
River Brahmaputra offers immense scope for development of ‘river cruise’ & ‘eco-tourism’ in NER
9
Status of NW-2 …. essential requirements
1. Fairway with targeted depth & width
2. Aids for 24 hrs navigation3. Terminals with cargo handling equipment and
Road- Rail link
4. Vessels
First three by Govt; fourth by Private sector
10
Status of NW- 2
Projects being implemented for making NW-2 fully functional :FairwayLeast available depth (LAD) of 2.5 m between Dhubri- Neamati (630 km);2.0 m between Neamati-Dibrugarh (138 km) 1.5 m between Dibrugarh-Sadiya (123 km)IWAI has 2 dredgers at present (1 CSD and 1 HSD)2 more CSD & one HSD being added in 2012-13
11
Status of NW- 2
Navigation aids 24 hrs navigation aids in 440km (Dhubri- Silghat), which can be
extended to entire waterway depending on necessity DGPS station set up at Jogighopa and works are nearing
completion at Silghat and Dibrugarh One more DGPS station will be set up at Dhubri These DGPS will provide safe navigation to Inland vessels using
electronic navigational charts Fortnightly talweg survey through 6 survey vessels of IWAI; river
notices being issued Besides, pilots are provided to cargo vessels
12
Status of NW- 2Terminals IWT Port Pandu
IWT Port at Pandu has been developed by IWAI as a hub for multimodal connectivity in the North-East region by investing Rs. 100 Cr.
Low level permanent jetty is operational with mechanical handling equipment
Rail connectivity (BG) completed and ready for commissioning
Road connectivity already available High level jetty in progress Alternate road connectivity with NH-31 for
container/heavy traffic is under construction
13
Status of NW- 2Terminals Floating terminals at Dhubri, Jogighopa, Tejpur, Silghat,
Neamati, Bogibil (north & south banks), Dibrugarh, Panbari & Orium ghat are being maintained with pontoon and gangway
Floating terminal can be provided at other locations on need basis
Two shore cranes and five floating cranes are availble for loading/unloading of cargo at the terminals
14
Status of NW-2
Vessel Repair Facility• A critical deficiency• IWT unit of Army; Para-military forces also face
immense problems• Assam Govt’s partially completed slipway at
Pandu can be completed as joint project of IWAI, GoA & GRSE
15
Status of NW-2
Cargo Vessels Failure of CIWTC is perhaps the biggest set back for
IWT in NER IWAI has 2/3 cargo vessels for demonstrative
voyages only IWT Directorate, Assam also has some cargo
vessels but now virtually defunct Private operators consider investment in vessels
too risky - lack of assured cargo; uncertainties surrounding Indo- Bangladesh Trade & Transit Protocol
16

RO-RO terminals at Dhubri and Hatsinghimari
Perishable cargo from Meghalaya and consumable goods for West Garo Hills are transported by road using Jogighopa bridge
RO-RO terminals at Duhubri (North Bank) and Hatsingimari (South Bank) on River Brahmaputra will provide direct connectivity between Dhubri and Meghalaya avoiding circuitous road route through Jogighopa
DPR for construction of RO-RO terminal at Dhubri at a cost of Rs 30 Crore (aprox) is in final stage
DPR for Hatsingimari will be completed by May 2012 Action has been initiated for acquisition of land at
Hatsingimari
23
Slipway facilities at Pandu
A partially built slipway (ship repair facility) of Assam Govt’s exists at Pandu
IWAI proposes to develope this slipway on Joint management basis with IWT- Assam, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers and IWAI.
A concept note for this project has been prepared through IL&FS and forwarded to Govt. of Assam for their views /suggestions.
Ministry of DoNER has been requested to keep a budgetary provision of Rs. 20 Cr for this project under NLCPR- Central during 2012-13
24
Construction of other terminals
IWAI is working out the modalities for movement of FCI foodgrains for PDS through IWT to cater the needs of upper Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and adjoining areas
Terminals needs to be developed at Oryumghat, Bogibeel, Matmara, Biswanathghat and Tejpur for unloading foodgrains
State Government has been requested to acquire land at identified locations
Ministry of DoNER has been requested to keep a budgetary provision of Rs. 10 Cr for road connectivity of these IWT terminals under NLCPR- Central during 2012-13
25
Recent Study by RITES IWAI has recently conducted a study through RITES (July
2011) for ‘identification of potential waterways of NER’ 23 river stretches identified
State Governments may develop these waterways using own resources/CSS /NLCPR-Central
Assam 7 river stretches 405 km
Arunachal Pradesh 4 river stretches 311 km
Mizoram 3 river stretches 370 km
Meghalaya 3 river stretches 90km
Tripura 2 river stretches 126 km
Nagaland 3 river stretches 204 km
Manipur 1 stretch 60 km
Total 23 stretches 1566 km
Map Details26
Transportation of FCI foodgrains
FCI initiated the action for transportation of 10,000 MT of foodgrain from Kolkata to Tripura via Ashuganj on a trial basis
Tender was floated during Feb 2012 which remained non-responsive due to:
Small quantity of cargo Wrong jetty selection at Kolkata Very high security deposit
27
Transportation of coal
NTPC has plan to transport 0.5 MMTPA of imported coal from Bay of Bengal to Bongaigaon by IWT
To materilize this transportation terminal & loading/unloading facility at Jogighopa and last mile connectivity from Jogighopa to Bongaigaon by Government funding need to be explored
IL&FS-IDC has been requested to prepare the Feasibility Report after making field visit alongwith NTPC, Railways and IWAI officials
28
Transportation of pipes
ONGC and Oil India Ltd. is to convey their decision for transporting their pipes and other cargo to North –East through IWT mode
ONGC & Oil India will have to give a long term commitment of cargo through IWT mode including the details of O-D points
MoU needs to be signed between IWAI and these Companies
Thereafter they have to float a tender to select the transport operator in consultation with IWAI
29
Transportation of containers
About 80 TEUs per week traffic exists between Pandu - Kolkata
CONCOR, Kolkata inspected the IWT terminal at Pandu
Long term commitment is required from CONCOR for transportation of part of their container cargo by IWT
30
Potential Cargo
For 34 Hydel projects (30,000 MW) in AP, MoUs signed
- Reliance, NHPC, Jindal, Athena, NEEPCO etc Construction to continue upto 2030 24 million tonnes of cement and 2 million tonne of steel required upto 2027
ODC and other cargo shall also be transported IWT can be used for at least 40-50% of this IWAI has signed MoU with Jindal & Reliance

Optimising utilisation of NW2
Indo- Bangladesh Trade & Transit Protocol which expired on 31st March 2012 renewed for one year only
Need to have IWT transit valid for duration of the entire Protocol (10 years) instead of shorter period of 1-2 years
Need to link major river ports like Jogighopa, Tejpur, Silghat, Oriyam ghat, Dibrugarh, Karimganj, Badarpur, Ashuganj with multi-modal rail & road links
Institutional strengthening of IWT setup in all NE States to utilize Central Sector Scheme for IWT
