Mercantile Ports and Logistics (MPL) was established to develop, own and operate port and logistics facilities in India.
Its maiden project is the development of a world class multipurpose terminal and logistics facility at Karanja creek in the Raigad District of Maharashtra.
The port is being developed over 200 acres of land with a sea frontage of 1,000 metres at Karanja Creek. The port is in the heart of the commercial capital of India, and acts as the gateway to eight land locked states in the country. The facility has access to State and National highways and is near to India’s largest and most congested container port, the Jawaharal Nehru Port (JNPT).
The multi-purpose terminal is designed to accommodate a variety of cargoes including containers, bulk, break-bulk cargo and Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll/off).
The Terminal will be comprised of;
800 metres of quay, utilising both sides of a 400 meter jetty, which will be serviced by multipurpose cranes
200-acre back-up area for cargo storage and a modern, world class logistics facility
The terminal will be designed to handle vessels of up to 4000 DWT having a draft of up to 5 meters, with the potential to handle vessels up to 10 meter draft at a later stage.
Logistics Facility
Karanja Terminal will also house an ultra-modern logistics complex spread over approximately 100 acres of land. The facility will comprise state-of-the-art logistic and warehousing facilities for storage of cargoes including cold and bonded storages and value-add services including sorting, labelling and breaking up or re-assembling of cargoes. The facility will be fully IT enabled, pilferage proof and will provide seamless supply-chain solutions to importers, exporters, shipping lines, custom house agents and freight forwarders.
