Haldia port or Haldia Dock Complex has been built at the
meeting place of the Haldi
River and Hooghly river in Kolkata. Kolkata Port Trust has been created in this port as the port's partner. So it is not a port. It is an official dock complex.
It is
situated at 22°02′N 88°06′E around 60 kilometers (37 mi) away from the
pilotage station.
The port consists of:
- Impounded
dock; system with 12 berths
- 3
oil jetties in the river
- 3
barge jetties in the river for handling oil carried by barges
- Haldia
anchorage for lash vessels
The
docks are impounded dock systems with locks from the river.
The port's main
imports are petroleum, chemicals, and parts. Exports include coal, iron ore,
and steel.
