Paradip International Cargo Terminal (PICT) is a multipurpose berth located at Paradip Port on India’s eastern coast, designed to handle clean cargo. The berth has a depth of 17.1 meters and a length of 450 meters, allowing it to accommodate cape-sized vessels up to 125,000 DWT. It will handle a range of cargoes including containerized goods, iron and steel products, fertilizer, food grains, and sugar.

Dextra supplied approximately 370 tons of Marine Tie Bar systems, sizes M105 and M76, Grade 500, along with accessories like couplers, turnbuckles, swivel plates, and swivel nuts. These tie bar systems were used to secure the concrete diaphragm walls at both ends of the berth, ensuring the structural integrity of the terminal.

With the new berth becoming operational in 2018, Paradip Port now boasts a total of 18 berths, including 13 cargo berths, 2 oil tanker berths, and 3 crude oil tanker berths with a single-point mooring system for handling crude oil tankers. This expansion significantly enhances the port’s capacity to handle a wide range of cargo and oil shipments.
