India has 6400 km of coastline with the associated territorial water and exclusive
economic zones. The bulk of ocean trade is presently handled through its I 3 major
ports.Intermediate, minor and fishing ports, which contribute less than 25% of the
total maritime trade, would have to take up a much larger share of the future growth.
Total manageable waterways including rivers, canals & backwater extend to 14,500
km. Out of this about 5200 km in Major rivers and 484 km in canal (total 5684 km) is
suitable for mechanized crafts.
The Govt. of India has taken initiative to bridge this gap by developing the third mode
of transport in the country by way of river navigation. This is to improve transport
logistics of the country. The recent trends in India towards speedier development of
Ports and Inland Waterways, through private sector participation given impetus to
this sector.
Today the company has a leading share of the private sector market in Ports and

Detailed Project report and Siltation Study Amma Lines Limited 3000
for Rewas Aware Port Mumbai, Maharashtra
1. BACKGROUND
The island has several rivers, including the Alexandra, Amrit Kaur, Dogmar and
Galathea. Virtually all rivers flow in a southern or southwesterly direction, which is
indicative of the general slope of the terrain across the island. There are undulating hills
throughout the island, with the main range running in a north-south orientation.
Page 2
Index Map – Great Nicobar Island
2. GENERAL
Creating new urban land creates more access roads that connect to or from existing
main roads. Reclaimed lands can also act as natural barriers as wave breakers against
tsunamis and storm surges.
As per discussions with NITI Aayog officials, WAPCOS limited has prepared the techno-
commercial offer for carrying out feasibility studies for reclamation of land in Little
Andaman and Great Nicobar Islands. The details are given in subsequent paragraphs.
3. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The detailed scope of studies of the present assignment shall be as given below:
1. Collection and review of data / documents related to previous study for the land
reclamation of the island.
Page 3
2. Conducting Field visits and Reconnaissance Survey.
3. Assessing the requirement of the topographical and bathymetric survey of land and
ocean area of the island.
4. Identification of land reclamation sites in the island for development of plans for
purposes of residential, recreational & various utility services along the waterfront
based on the changes in the submergence levels.
5. Assessment of the landfill requirement for developing the Identified land reclamation
sites including swamp area.
6. Broad assessment of the requirement of the capacity of dredging equipment required
for carrying out the task keeping in the view demand for development of new land.
7. Identification of drains requiring diversion for the development of land reclamation
sites and corresponding scope for construction of diversion canal away from the
reclamation sites.
8. Preparation of cost estimate as per latest schedule of rates as applicable.
9. Preparation of Feasibility Report for Development of land reclamation area in the
Island.
10. Project Implementation Plan in terms of physical and financial aspect.
Feasibility Report (FR) would be prepared for the selected / preferred alternative taking
into consideration the site specific conditions. The work would involve quick field studies
as may be necessary to substantiate the various options/alternatives identified during
the desk studies, which are briefly explained here under:
The Consultant shall study the changes that occurred in the conditions of submergence
at the Coastline by analyzing changes in Landsat satellite imagery during the last 30
years. The satellite imagery shall be scanned to detect changes in surface
water/submergence levels and discover where water has become land and land has
become water. This shall help in identifying suitable sites for carrying out the land
reclamation.
Page 4
Surface Water/Submergence Level Changes - Little Andaman Island (1985-2016)
Page 5
Green and blue colors represent areas where surface water/submergence level changes
occured during the last 30 years. Green pixels show where surface water has been
turned into land (accretion, land reclamation, droughts). Blue pixels show where land
has been changed into surface water (floods, erosion, reservoir construction).
The consultant shall carefully study the imageries and submergence patterns over the
period of past 30 years and look for areas where the land has changed into surface
water. These are the spots which need to be studied extensively as potential sites for
land reclamation.
The other areas of the island where surface water has receded and land mass is
available, may not be appropriate or conducive for land reclamation unless treated. Such
spots/areas would also need attention to study them critically for using as potential land
sites for development.
The Consultant shall carry out the collection and analysis of Secondary data as given
below:
Physical features of the islands:
- Topographic Features
- Hydrographic Features
- Geotechnical/Geological Features (Marine & land)
- Currents and tidal conditions
- Water quality / bed sample etc.
MET-OCEAN Data as available with WAPCOS / CWPRS / IMD
Satellite imagery of the islands for a period of last 30 years
Water level characteristics of the near region in due consideration with tides,
storm surges etc. and fixing deck/reclamation level
Sea - land interface behaviour of near shore regions
Supplementary data obtainable from earlier studies
The site visit to Little Andaman and Great Nicobar islands by the team of experts of
WAPCOS will cover the following aspects:
The experts will have meetings and discussions with all the stakeholders such as
Andaman Lakshadweep Harbour Works (ALHW), Port Management Board
(PMB), local administration, PWD department, Mining Department, Geologists,
Tourism Department, Mechanical Wing of PWD, soil scientists etc.
- Discuss the potential sites for reclamation identified through satellite imagery
- Ascertain the nature and extent of secondary data available with the various
departments.
- Understand from them the priorities for the development scenario of the
islands for which the reclamation would be needed.
The experts will subsequently conduct site visits to assess the prevailing
conditions at the potential sites for land reclamation.
Page 6
The identified sites would be correlated with the MET-Ocean data obtained from
CWPRS/IMD and also the water level characteristics of the island with regard to
tides, storm surges etc. for fixing reclamation levels.
During the site visits, the requirement of bathymetric surveys shall be assessed.
Secondary data from ALHW and PMB shall be utilized to obtain the quantum of
seafill required for carrying out land reclamation at various sites.
Information of the selected sites for potential land reclamation would be shared
with the stakeholders especially Mining Department, Geologist and Mechanical
Wing of PWD for finalization of the sites.
The soil/rock characteristics of the proposed sites shall be ascertained through
secondary data and field visits, for determining the suitability of these sites for
land reclamation purposes.
In order to develop any site for land reclamation, it is necessary to identify the
drains/streams which are flowing into the site and need diversion. This will be
done during site visit by the experts so that they are in a position to prepare a
diversion plan accordingly for the construction of diversion canals leading the
flow away from the land reclamation site.
The Consultant shall review the satellite imageries of the last 30 years for the
islands and surrounding regions on GIS platform.
Potential sites for land reclamation shall be identified by studying the submergence
pattern of shorelines of the Little Andaman and Nicobar Islands and surrounding
island groups.
The identified sites shall be further discussed with the various stakeholders and
departments during the visit of Consultant’s experts, and additional sites may also
be included based on site visits and discussions.
Based on the analysis of secondary data, the potential sites for reclamation shall be
finalized and prioritized considering the level of submergence, ease of reclamation,
economic factors, environmental factors etc.
While identifying the sites for land reclamation, preference will be given to those
sites where the land mass of the island has been submerged due to oceanic actions
such as Tsunami or changes in the tidal pattern thereby increasing the
submergence level, formation of creeks due to soil erosion etc. Such sites are likely
to be easy to tackle for reclaiming the land because depth of water will be less and
minimum engineering efforts will be required to recoup the area.
The Consultant shall also recommend the suitable methods for carrying out land
reclamation studies based on the site conditions, submergence, accessibility, the type
of fill material, foundation soil, the topography of the seabed, the availability of
equipment, and allowable fine material for reclamation etc. The following methods are
generally utilized for carrying out land reclamation in coastal areas and islands:
i) Dry Method
The dry method which usually uses a truck or conveyor belt to transport fill material to
extend the land towards the sea is suitable for filling material from land sources,
Page 7
especially rock, hillcut and clay fill. Filling or transporting clay fill material into the sea
would create a viscous slurry which would take much longer to become usable land.
The dumping process of fill material has to be a continuous operation to avoid
loosening of the material with the sea waves.
v) Hydraulic Filling
This method is largely used when filling is carried out from an offshore foundation,
either from a rehandling pit or from a trailer suction hopper dredger, appropriate for
granular fill and is not desirable when the seabed is too shallow or its soil is too soft.
The percentage of fill material to water is accustomed corresponding to the grain size of
the fill material. A large ratio of material to water would lead to wearing of the inner
walls of the sand transportation pipe. Conversely, a lesser ratio of material to water will
lessen the production rate.
Page 8
Conceptualizing various available options and study the likely effects on the
proposed alternative locations in terms of technical/logistic and economic
considerations.
4.7 Conclusion
The consultant shall carefully study the imageries and submergence patterns over
the period of past 30 years and look for areas where the land has changed into
surface water. These are the spots which need to be studied extensively as
potential sites for land reclamation.
The other areas of the island where surface water has receded and land mass is
available, may not be appropriate or conducive for land reclamation unless treated.
Such spots/areas would also need attention to study them critically for using as
potential land sites for development.
The cluster of islands located in the close vicinity of little Andaman and Great
Nicobar may provide good answer for land reclamation exercise as by dumping the
fill material in the intervening gaps may result in development of a sizeable land-
mass for consideration of future development.

1. Project: Detail Project Report for Establishment of Inland River Port at Ashuganj in
Bangladesh.
Client: Ministry of External Affairs, Project Cost: Rs. 150 Crores
Government of India.
Start Date: Dec, 2014 Project Location:Ashuganj, Bangladesh
Completion Date: Oct, 2017
Scope:
Ashuganj in the district of Brahmanbaria of Bangladesh is a traditional IWT station of
Bangladesh. Waterway up to Ashuganj is tidal and river depth is in the range of 4 to 5
meters. Big inland vessels therefore ply up to Ashuganjall round the year due to which
this has always been an important IWT station of Bangladesh serving the hinterland. Due
to its geographical location, the Ashuganj river port could also cater to logistic needs of the
cities of Narsingdi, Kishoreganj, Mymensingh, Brahmanbaria, Comilla and Greater
Sylhet region of Bangladesh. The growing number of containers handling at the port of
Chittagong has necessitated developing better distribution systems of containers
throughout Bangladesh. The growth rate of containers handling at the port of Chittagong is
persuading the construction of more ICDs in the potential places of Bangladesh. For this
reason also, establishment of a river port with container handling facilities at Ashuganj is
felt important. Ashuganj is about 50 km from Agartala (Tripura) of India by road, out of
which about 35 km road is well developed. Therefore it is evident that establishment of a
modern river port at Ashuganj is important both for domestic logistics sector of
Bangladesh and for its connectivity with India.

Client:Rwanda Transport Project Cost: Rs. 500 Crore
Development Agency,
Rwanda.
Start Date: May, 2013 Project Location:Rwanda
Completion Date: Ongoing
Scope:
The need for implementation of a passenger ferry and waterways cargo system on
Lake Kivu is a renewed initiative of the Government of Rwanda (GOR) to develop
accessible infrastructure and tourism in the Western province. The implementation of an
optimally structured ferry system operating on Lake Kivu between the main urban areas
along the lake is one of the tangible projects to contribute to these set long term strategies
The objective of the inland waterways transportation system on Lake Kivu is to set up a
ferry company under a PPP contract which will acquire fast ferries and cargo vessels and
which will operate a reliable and frequent ferry schedule between the major urban areas
along the lake (Rubavu, Karongi&Rusizi), to be implemented for both passengers and
cargo ultimately early 2013. A short haul network to the smaller villages of (Nkora,
Mugonero, Kirambo,Nyamirundi and Nkombo island) is also included in this project, for
which additional vessels and port facilities will be needed.
