INTRODUCTION
GEOGRAPHY.
Goa occupies a narrow strip of the Western Indian Coastline. It is approximately 105 kms. Long & 65 kms. Wide, with a total area of 3702 sq.kms. the boundaries of Goa are well defined . In the North, It is surrounded by the Sindhu Durg district of Maharashtra state & in the west by Arabian Sea. In the East and South it is surrounded by Belgaum & Karwar districts of Karnataka State. The state is situated on the slope of Western Ghats and is in heavy rainfall zone, having an average rainfall of 3200 mm per annum. The climate is temperate with temperatures ranging from 15.7C to 35.6C. The state of Goa is intersected by an extensive network of waterways, important among them being Terekhol, Mandovi, Zuari & Talpona rivers. All these rivers are navigable and as such are very vital for the development activities of the state. Administratively Goa has been organized into two districts namely (1) North goa comprising 6 talukas with an area of 1736 sq.kms. and (2) South Goa having 5 talukas covering an area of 1966 sq.kms. no. of inhabitated villages are 374, which have been grouped into 183 village panchayat. As per 1991 census, there are 31 towns, of which 13 are municipaltiesand 18 are census towns. In terms of Topography, Goa falls into three district areas (1) Western Ghats, (2) The midland region and, (3) The coastal region. Western Ghats In the east of the state lie the foothills and some of the peaks of the Sahayadri ranges of Western Ghats. Some of the main peaks are Sonsagad (1166m); Catlanchimauli(1107m); Vaguerim(1067m) and Morlemchogad(1036m). Another high point, Dudhsagar, is the site of waterfall. The eastern talukas of Goa are relatively an developed but are vital for Goan environment, because all the rivers of Goa originate from the hills in them. These sahayadri ranges are also responsible for high annual rainfalland are rich in Flora & Fauna. Midland Region Between the Western Ghats and the coastal area lies the second area aptly known as midland region. This is Goa’s hinterland. It is mostly made up of plateaus between 30m and 100m elevation. In some areas they extend upto coastline itself. Almost all have been used for fortresses. In this region, spice, fruit and areca nut plantations have been established. The terraced orchards are made up of coconut palms, areca, jackfruit, pineapples and mangoes. In the fields below, rice paddy is cultivated. Coastal Region Though coastal region is very small portion of total area of the state , it is best known to the tourists coming to Goa. The tidal stretches of rivers- sometimes even upto 40 kms. Inside, have mangroves that provide habitat for birds and marine animals. Further, the low-lying areas, known as Khazans, are reclaimed by building embankments. These help in fish farming and making of salt. 5|Page

HISTORY OF GOA Goa came under various rulers including the Satavahanas, the Chalukyas and the Kadambas. The Kadambas built their capital at Old Goa, just 9 km off Panaji, in the 11th century. The Muslims took over Goa in the 14th century, only to lose it to the Vijayanagaris. Finally, the Adil Shahis of Bijapur made Old Goa their second capital and built a palace at Panaji. When Goa came under the Portuguese in the 16th century, this palace was taken over as the Viceroy’s official residence. They made Panaji the capital in 1843 after the collapse of Old Goa. Panaji, “the land that never floods,” was now renamed Panjim by the Portuguese and it was also referred to as New Goa. CLIMATE OF GOA Goa has an equable climate with not much variation in the average minimum and maximum temperatures. During the summer (April to June) the minimum is 26°C and the maximum is 34°C. The monsoon (July to October, 225 to 300 cm) brings temperatures down marginally so that the minimum is 24°C and the maximum is 31°C. In winter from Nov to March the minimum is 21°C, while the maximum is 32°C. The town itself is laid out in a criss-cross grid fashion, being built around the Church Square or Municipal Gardens, as the park is called. The Secretariat, housed in the Adil Shahi palace, lies to the north of Church Square. Panjim’s Portuguese Quarter, Fontainhas and the suburb of Pato, overlook the Qurem Creek, while Sao Tome, the other Old Quarter, lies to the north of Fontainhas. A large bridge spans the Mandovi estuary to the north, while the NH-7 heads off the south, connecting Panaji to the airport and to the rail station at Vasco da Gama.

PASSENGER WATER TRANSPORT AT GOA (VASCO) Passenger Ships are used to move passengers from one state to another . Cruise lines are used for movement of passengers. TYPES OF TRANSPORT There are three major modes of transport Roads, Railways & Airways.

Cruise lines used for transport of International tourists( from one country to another country). Cargo is also passed through ships for the least cost of transport. Domestic transport of passengers by waterways is now been started in India. The coastal region of India consisting of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Tamilnadu, Kerala, Calcutta etc, has a very good capacity of developing a good water terminals for inland domestic water transport system. Thus this will lessen the traffic catered by railways. The coastal states: Several alternatives were examined for the terminal layout for Vasco with different plans. The recommended layout is based on optimum circulation, good level of service and cost considerations besides environmental/aesthetical considerations. The facilities include the following: 1.

During the present decade, one observes an average increase of 2.59% for domestic tourists, a whooping 12.88 % for foreign tourists and 4.24% for overall tourist traffic during the period 19901998 as shown in table. In between , the year 1991 has seen a drastic fall in the arrival of foreign tourists, which may be attributed to unstable socio-political situation in the country. The year 1996 again has seen a significantly low growth rate compared to the previous year. Trends in Growth of Tourist Traffic to Goa Year

EXISTING TERMINAL There is one vaco port called Marmagoa port trust. Water Transport services and communication crafts in existence for instance between Goa and rest of the world is carried from this port. This port serves for both cargo and passengers cruise liners. But due to the demand of Goa and also the cargo exported and imported is iron ore , thus it becomes difficult for the passengers and also for cruise liners to drop the passengers at this Marmagoa port.
AIMS, OBJECTIVES & SCOPE. This will intentionally bring the cruise passengers and also more beneficial to the state and the country for earning foreign currencies.This will thus increase the tourism for the Goa. “365 DAYS ON A HOLIDAY “, GOA Everything included”. As the tourism in Goa is increasing day by day as shown in the statistics of the Goa 2011 master plan, Goa can fully survive on its own upon the tourism.
TRAVEL DEMAND MODELLING FOR VASCO CRUISE TERMINAL As STAR CRUISE have started the service of Cruise liners to and from Goa, Mumbai & Lakshadweep. Middle income group have also started to board the cruise liners for entertainment and for traveling. As published in “Mid-day 24/04/05 Sunday” about the “STAR CRUISE” trips to and fro form Mumbai , Goa and Lakshadweep. Also Marmagoa port trust has proposed a Cruise terminal on the Baina Bay attaching Four lane highway. TERMINAL FACILITIES . Terminal should include the following facilities. • Good access to landward transport system, i.e. Roads, buses, taxis . • Reception area ticketing ,waiting, refreshments toilets. • Embarkation/ disembarkation facilities. • Safe approaches and departure routes for ships & small workshops for maintaining. • Fueling and Water supply. • Toilet cleaning facilities.
SITE SELECTION AND TOPOGRAPHY. The terminal is intended to serve as: • A gateway to travelers coming to Goa. It will be serving the proposed the four lane highway. • A landmark in the Goa. • An interchange to the passengers between water and land transportation modes. 23 | P a g e
The terminal will principally cater to the national and international cruise liner and allied activities. The complex as an interchange will also harbour parking facilities for Private cars buses, The complex is to be principally developed as a recreational waterfront, with walkways pedestrians decks cafes and restaurants.
NAVIGATION Total navigable length of inland water-ways in the country is 15,783 km of which maximum stretch lies in the state of Uttar Pradesh followed by West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Kerala and Bihar successively. Amongst the river system, the Ganga has the largest navigable length followed by the Godavari, the Brahmaputra and the rivers of West Bengal. Waterways are having the unique advantage of accessibility to interior places. Besides, they provide cheaper means of transport with far less pollution and communicational obstacles. The waterways traffic movement has gone up progressively from 0.11 m.t. in 1980-81 to 0.33 m.t. in 1994-95. The development of inland water transport is of crucial importance from the point of energy conservation as well. The ten waterways identified for consideration for being declared as national waterways are namely: Sea-Routes Sea routes between east and west directions pass through major ports of India. The sea routes towards east and south from India move to Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, China and Japan. Towards west they move to United States of America, Europe and Africa.
EIGHT PLAN ABOUT SHIPPING The Eighth Plan has as its main objective acquisition of a modern, diversified fleet capable of helping in the realization of the objectives of export promotion and improved balance of payments of the country. From this point of view about 15 lakh GRT will be replaced during the Eighth Plan period and about 10 lakh GRT will be added to the tonnage increasing the Eight Plane to 70 lakh GRT the outlay for the eight Plan for the shipping is Rs 3,668.91 crores. PORTS India’s coastline of about 6,000 km is dotted with 11 major, 11 intermediate and 168 minor ports. Nearly 95 per cent of the country’s foreign cargo (by volume) moves by sea and, therefore, ports/and their development assume an important place in policy making. Development and maintenance of India’s major ports are the responsibility of the Central Government, while Other Ports are in the Concurrent list.
24 | P a g e
MAJOR PORTS India’s major ports are governed by the Indian ports Act 1908 and the Major Port Trusts Act 1963. The former allow the Statutory to declare any port a major port, define port limit, levy charges etc. while the formation of Port trust Boards and vests the administration control and management of major ports in these Boards. At the time of independence, India had five major Ports, viz. Mumbai, Calcutta, Vishakhapatnam, Chennai, and Cochin. With the Karachi Port going to Pakistan after Partition, there was the for a major port on the western coast. A new port was developed at Kandla, which was declared a major port in 1955. The Marmugao Port, developed by the Portugues, joined the ranks of major ports in 1964 after the liberation of Goa in 1962. Para deep, on the eastern coast, was declared a major port in 1966. Eight years later, New Mangalore and Tuticoin were added to the list of major ports. The inclusion of the Jawaharlal Nehru Port at Nhava Sheva on the western coast took the number of major ports to 11. Development of port after the independence, the development of major ports was taken up in a planned manner. Mechanization and modernizations of cargo-handling facilities at Ports have been a thrust area in recent years, with emphasis on development of dedicated infrastructure. Deepening of ports to receive lager vessels has been another priority area. Vishakhapatnam and Chennai ports have already been deepened. MINOR AND INTERMIDIATE PORTS Minor and intermediate ports fall in the Concurrent list and their administration is the responsibility of the respective coastal states. Their number as well as their categorization into minor or intermediate Ports has varied from time to time, depending upon the volume of cargo and the number of passenger they handle. In 1996, there were 11 intermediate and 168 minor ports and state wise distribution was: Orissa -2, Andhra Pradesh - 12, Tamil Nadu -10, Pondicherry - 1, Andarnan and Nicobar - 22, Lakshadweep -10, Kerala - 13, Karnataka - 9, Goa - 5, Maharashtra - 53, Darnan and Diu - 2 and Gujarat - 40. Name of the 11 major ports Calcutta, Haidia, Paradeep, Mumbai, Chennai Cochin, Tuticorin, JNPR, Kandla Vishakhapatnam, New Mangalore, and Marmugao. SHIPPING In the world and Asia-Pacific perspective, the Indian shipbuilding industry is quite small. In 1995, Japan built 394 ships of 8.4 million DWT for domestic purpose and 124 ships of 6.2 million DWT for export trade. Similarly, South Korea built 43 ships of 2.2 million DWT for domestic sailings and 100 ships of 7.9 million DWT for export trade. During the same year, 1,128 ships of 33.9 million DWT were built worldwide while in India, the Hindustan Shipyard Ltd. has built only 109 ships since 1952. Cochin Shipyard Ltd., the biggest in India, has built seven ships and 30 small crafts 25 | P a g e
INLAND WATER TRANSPORT IN INDIA India has 14,500 km of navigable inland waterways comprising of river system, canal, backwaters, creeks and tidal inlets. About 5200 km of major rivers and 485 km of canals are suitable for mechanised crafts. Even these navigable waterways lack the needed infrastructure such as navigational aids, terminals and communication facilities. The total cargo moved by inland water transport is about 20 million tonnes corresponding to just over 1.5 billion tonne km or 0.15 percent of the total inland cargo of about 877 billion tonne km, the balance being moved by road, rail and pipelines. The stretch of water way from Allahabad to Kolkata on the river Ganges (1620 km), the stretch from Sadiya to Dhubri on the river Brahmaputra (891 km) and the West Coast canal from Kottapuram to Kollam including the Champakara and Udyogamandal canals (205 km) have been declared as National Waterways I, II and III respectively. Kakinada- Marakkanam on the Godavari and Krishna rivers is likely to be declared as National waterway IV in the 10th plan. Other waterways that have potential for being declared as national waterways are Sundarbans, Mahanadhi, Narmada, Mandovi, Zuari rivers, Cumberjua canal in Goa and Tapi.

GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS FOR THE INLAND WATER TRANSPORT PROJECTS . THE NEEDS OF INLAND WATER TRANSPORTATION. POLICY SUPPORT TO INLAND WATER TRANSPORT WITHIN INTERMODAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN INDIA Cdr. R.M. Nair, FIS* The prevailing trends towards rising population, increasing urbanization, spread of more water intensive lifestyle as well as the agricultural technology sweeping round the world require more water than essential. Preservation and optimum utilization of water assume 26 | P a g e
greater importance in this regard. Navigation is one of the non-consumptive uses of water. If the waterways are developed for navigation it can provide an energy efficient and environment friendly mode of transportation for the sustainable development of the transport infrastructure. It is in this context that the navigation component derives its importance in any water resources project. 2. Development and commercial use of inland waterway transport have assumed great significance in many countries particularly in the USA, China, Germany, and Russia. Commonly known reasons for such development are higher fuel costs, rail and road network congestion and the large increase in the demand for dry and liquid bulk commodity movements. The investment and operating costs of commercial inland waterway transport are significantly lower per unit of output and the capacity of waterways is usually not only large but easily and cheaply augmentable. In some countries such as China, inland waterway and coastal transport produces nearly as many ton-km of output as rail, road and air cargo transport combined. Nearly seventy per cent of the movement is on the Yangtze River primarily with commodities like coal, crude oil, iron ore, rolled steel and building materials. While inland waterways transport was traditionally the mode of choice for dry and liquid bulk or low unit value cargo transport, recent developments of higher speed inland water craft, as well as delays caused by increased rail and road congestion have resulted in significant movements on inland waterways of higher value goods, including containerized break bulk cargo. 3. A successful example is China where freight and passenger movement is predominantly on waterways. Similarly, the European continent has a navigable network of inland waterways measuring nearly 11, 000 km. On a comparative scale waterways are found to be cheaper than rail for freight movement and the sector is much more competitive. Russian and Chinese waterways together constitute the world’s largest waterway network. USA has one of the best waterway infrastructures. Nearly 65% of total tonnage is moved on this waterway system – the major advantage
4. India has an extensive network of inland waters consisting of rivers, canals and lakes, natural and manmade and a coast line of over 6000 kilometers, dotted with a number of major and minor ports. Inland Water Transport (IWT) represents a significant resource for India. The total length of navigable waterways in India is about 14500 kms, of which 5700 kms are navigable by mechanically propelled vessels. IWT in the past was a major means of communication in many parts of India. Today IWT is unique as a participant of two major economic sectors - a multi-purpose water resources system and an inter modal transportation system. The relative success of IWT is highly dependent on the overall economic environment and the Government’s regulatory and investment policies. 5. Setting up of Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) in 1986, a statutory autonomous body for regulating and developing navigation and shipping in the inland waterways has been a major landmark in the IWT development in India. The authority since its inception has endeavored to develop a scientific temperament for the development of inland waterway. Three waterways, the Ganga, the Brahmaputra and the West Coast Canal totaling 27 | P a g e
a distance of 2700 Kms. have been declared national waterways and are being developed for shipping and navigation. 6. Inland Water Transport in India, as is in other countries, is location specific; confined to the geographical regions gifted with waterways. In such regions the IWT can have a larger share of the cargo linking the ports and the hinterland. In linking such regions with rest of the country IWT become part of an intermodal link, achieving higher efficiency in a multimodal service where cargo is carried by different modes, in more than one carrier but under the same transport document. It also has a role as a stand alone mode when the origin and destination are on the water front. The major benefits of the IWT are the achievable fuel savings, reduction in overall cost of transportation, reduction in environmental cost and line cost savings.
7. The IWT policy formulation preceded a detailed study closely examining the current sector characteristics and its amenability and options for private sector participation and component for a sustainable development of the sector. These documents included the IWAI Action Plan 1994, IWT Vision 2020 of 1998 and the IWT Strategy Document for Presentation to the Group of Ministers. A risk profile assessment of the sector and hence, an identification of the key concerns and challenges to private participation has been measured up against the existing policy of the government, international precedents and specific case instances of successful IWT projects. The endeavor was to explore solutions that optimally balance both public and private interests in developing a joint participation approach to support the sector. 8. In general, to make the IWT a viable and acceptable mode, certain conditions are to be fulfilled. These relate to rationalizing tariff structures, ensuring sufficient reductions in line haul, travel time, improved safety of goods in transit and providing sufficient financial incentives to consignees and end users of the transport product by providing: Fairway development with sufficient depth and width. 24 hours navigation, Terminals and mechanical loading facilities, Access and cargo assurance to improve the load factor and hence profitability. 9. The IWT system in India has suffered from under investment and financial constraints not only in absolute terms but also in comparison to other modes of transportation. Conscious and bold investment is needed for the systematic development of fairway, fleet, terminals and navigational aids. Institutional set up is needed to be put directly by public – private partnership with a long-term objective of minimizing the public money and maximizing the share of private investment. The Government, as a facilitator, should also step in to reduce the investor’s risk. This could be by way of fiscal concessions, easy availability of capital flow, and long-term assurance of cargo and concessionary rates of port charges for IWT vessels. IWT, like in any infrastructure sector, will have long gestation period for return of investment and 28 | P a g e
hence at the initial stages government support would be inevitable. As the mode becomes popular and its viability well demonstrated, the private sector investment risk would reduce resulting in large flow of funds from the private sector and gradually a stage would emerge when the role of the Government would be only that of a regulator. 10. The Indian transportation system has been led by road and rail development. With the benefit of door to door service in case of roads and substantial investments already been made in backup linkages for railways, there is a high switching cost to other modes of transport. Being location specific multimodal transfers to access waterway adds to the IWT cost. User reluctance to experiment new modes is another impediment for a developing mode. Various measures have been considered to overcome these teething problems such as committed traffic, long term cargo assurance, captive users as project participants, joint ventures by Government, shipper, carrier, etc. being some of the important steps to reduce the financial risks and are considered under the policy objective. Development of successful pilot projects paving the way for a more comprehensive development of other projects on the waterway and prioritization of subsequent projects that sustain private interest is the focus of privatization. Stable cash flows and a few revenue streams from commercially stable projects could be then leveraged to finance investments in subsequent projects. 11. The basic policy objectives of Indian IWT have ‘short term’ and ‘long term’ components. The short term objective is to effect a sizeable increase in the traffic volume, from the present level of around 1 billion tonne km to at least 20 billion ton-km within a five year period. The long term objective is to develop the full IWT potential of the country which – going by successful examples of other countries - could be as much as a 5 to 8 per cent of the total national transport output. A veritable IWT revolution is thus a key component of plans to improve India’s competitiveness and to place India among the leading industrial nations of the world in the 21st century. 12. The physical components of the short term programme will be the removal of impediments to the full exploitation of the existing waterways by tackling the fairway, terminal and vessel related issues, and providing the initial support for significant private participation. The physical components of the long term plan would cover, in addition to the above, the development of new waterways and the upgrading of vessel and cargo handling technologies to modernize the total IWT system and integrate it fully with the national transport effort. 13. The institutional set up needs to be directed to a public-private partnership. The financial analysis in a number of cases indicated that initially the government has to be involved to enhance the project viability. However, the objective must be to minimize the public money necessary in the long run to make the project viable by having a maximum share for the private investor. Private investors will only get involved when their expectations on the return on investment justify the risks, which they have to incur. The total risk of a project can be minimized if the risk is more transparent. 14. The financial risk comprises of debt financing risk and equity financing. Since, the debt financing risk will be perceived as being big for this kind of project, the possible revenue risk premiums will be high. Reducing this risk premium would require a large share of equity 29 | P a g e
capital or external loan guarantees, thus, bringing the Government of India back into the picture. 15. Operating risk can be fully taken by the operator as long as government does not intervene into major cost components (wages and fuel). Revenue risk pertaining to fare is very much influenced by government regulation. The more transparent the risk, the lower is the risk premium. Thus, the Government should give a clear and stable picture very early in the project to avoid paying unnecessary risk premiums later on. The IWT policy has focused on specific components to remove or reduce the investor risks to a large extent, by clearly defining the parameter for the private sector participation and defining the role of the Government. 16. Central to the invitation of the private sector participation and a key pre-requisite thereof, is the need for “bankable” and clear policy guidelines defining the scope and terms of private participation. The policy take cognizance of the risk issues endemic to the sector, constraints that have limited the development of the IWT sector as a preferred mode of transport in India, developmental initiatives and public and private partnership models in countries where IWT has proved successful, existing sector legislation, Government incentives and initiatives. The challenge is one of addressing the key risk issues plaguing the sector and breaking free of the inertia stymieing popular use and private participation in development of the sector. 17
he IWT policy announced by Government of India contains the following fiscal and administrative measures:
i) Inland Water Transport sector has been accorded the status of infrastructure under Section 80 I A of the Income Tax Act. Under this the investors in IWT infrastructure are eligible for 100% tax exemption for 5 years and further 30% tax exemption next 5 years to be availed of within a period of 15 years. The infrastructure sector being a priority sector this also facilitates priority lending by financial institutions for projects in IWT sector. There are spinoff benefits of the infrastructure status such as 74% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) with automatic clearance, priority lending by financial institutions etc. ii) The role of the Inland Waterways Authority of India has been enlarged to facilitate its participation in commercial / joint ventures with equity participation. This is a major step towards public / private partnership. iii) Provision for BOT projects for IWT infrastructure with Government participation up to 40% equity; details to be worked out on case-to-case basis. (iv) Vessel building subsidy of 30% of the cost to the ship owners for inland vessels built in India. Such vessels to be registered under the Inland Vessels Act, 1917 and to be operated in the national waterways. (v)
Higher depreciation rate for inland vessels at par with sea going ships (presently 20%).
30 | P a g e
(viii) Assistance to the State Governments for implementation of Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) for IWT development by way of 90% subsidy. (ix) Cargo allocation of 5% of the Govt. controlled cargo to the IWT in corridors where waterways are functional. (x) Setting up of an IWT Development Council under the Chairmanship of the Minister of Shipping with representation from 14 riverine states for coordinated IWT development. (xi) Empowerment of Inland Waterways Authority of India to sanction projects costing up to Rs.15 crores. 18. The IWT resurgence in India is more demand driven than of supply driven. The opening up of the Indian economy during mid nineties resulted in an unprecedented boom in the industrial and agricultural sectors and in export resulting in a sudden demand in the transport sector. Capacity constraints and inflexibility of the transport modes resulted in bottlenecks; shortage of wagons, non aailability of trucks and long waiting time at ports. This lead to a search for new modes and concerted actions for improving the existing modes. Another important factor, which influenced the revival interest of IWT, was the initiative by the UNESCAP. The New Delhi Action Plan of ESCAP for the development of transport and communication in the ESCAP region has to a large extent supported the national initiative for institutionalizing the neglected inland waterway transport services to emerge as a dynamic and sustainable mode and its integration in the overall transport system. 19. Systematic development of fairway, terminals and navigational aids and the IWT fleet would result in IWT providing an economic, efficient and environment friendly mode of transportation supplementing the other modes namely, road and railways for an optimal modal split. A synergy of various measures being taken up is bound to create an attractive investment climate in the IWT sector both for creation of infrastructure and IWT fleet augmentation. 20. Substantial stepping up of the Plan funds for the IWT development has been the first outcome of the Govt policy to give a greater priority for the IWT sector. The Plan Support increased from Rs.240 crores during 8th Plan (1992-97) to Rs.408 crores in the 9th five year plan (1997-2002). The tentative provision for the 10th Five Year Plan period (2002-2007) is close to Rs.800 crores. It is also envisaged that substantial external funding would flow in for development of IWT sector in India during the 10th Plan period. The Government of India has embarked on a massive programme for linking of rivers or river connectivity, which would be a multi-purpose water recourses project with a large navigation component. Though the details of this programme are yet to be finalized, this project is expected to provide a great impetus to the IWT development programme already under way. ----•

INTRODUCTION TO INLAND WATER T TRANSPORT RANSPORT
INTRODUCTION IWT is the most efficient mode of transportation from the point of energy consumption, lower cost of transportation and environment friendliness. Notwithstanding these advantages, IWT in India has gradually declined due to various reasons, lack of investment for creation of infrastructural facilities being a major contributory factor. Simultaneous development of all modes of transport for an optimal modal split should be the strategy in a holis holistic tic transportation planning. In many countries where such a holistic approach has been adopted like the USA, Europe, China, the IWT has a substantial share of the national cargo which in effect reduces the transportation cost, provides access to the interi interior or and hinterland port connections and providing easy market accessibility for the low value bulk products. The Indian Inland Water Transport is expected to play a major role to meet the emerging transport infrastructure requirements. OBJECTIVE OF IWT SECTOR Navigable inland waterways in India India,, comprising of river system, canal, backwaters, creeks and tidal inlets, extends to about 14,500 kms. Most waterways, however, suffer from navigational inadequacies such as shallow waters, narrow width, siltation and bank erosion,. Moreover, vertical and horizontal clearances at overhead structures are not adequate for navigation throughout the year. Consequently, at present about 5200 kms of major rivers and 485 kms of canals are suitable for mechanised crafts. Even these navigable waterways lack the needed ed infrastructure such as navigational aids, terminals and communication facilities. The mechanised operations are confined to only few locations. Cargo transportation in an organised manner is confined to Goa, West Bengal, Assam and Kerala. The total cargo carg moved by IWT is about 20 million tonnes corresponding to just over 1.5 billion tonne kms or 0.15% of the total inland cargo of about 1000 billion tonne kms, the balance being served by the road and rail. If the waterways are developed for navigation wi with th the necessary infrastructure such as 32 | P a g e
fairway, terminals and navigational aids the IWT mode would become competitive and would attract cargo. The objective of the IWT sector is to provide the above facilities in all potential inland waterways for their systematic and sustainable development for shipping and navigation. SETTING UP OF INLAND WATERWAYS AUTHORITY OF INDIA
The National Transport Policy Committee (NTPC) in its report (1980) recommended various measures for development of IWT in the country. In order to maintain inland water channels in navigable conditions, NTPC recommended the following urgent measures : a. To frame a detailed conservancy programme for each navigable section of the waterway; b. To undertake the maintenance works regularly on priority basis; c. To make specific financial provisions for conservancy and maintenance works; and d. To set up an independent Authority to design, direct and execute such projects. NTPC while recommending setting up a statutory authority, namely Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), also suggested that IWAI can be entrusted with the responsibility of conducting economic surveys to assess future potential of traffic and provide infrastructure facilities in this sector. The committee, in addition, recommended that the Authority may be entrusted with IWT regulatory and administrative functions. As a follow up of the recommendations of the NTPC, Inland Waterways Authority of India was set up in October, 1986 under the IWAI Act, 1985. As per this Act the Authority consist of Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Members not exceeding five. At present there is a full time Chairman, three full time and two part time Members in the Authority. The Head quarter of the Authority is situated at NOIDA, U.P. and its field offices at Kolkata, Farakka, Bhagalpur, Patna, Ballia and Allahabad on NW 1, Guwahati on NW 2, and Kochi & Kollam on NW 3. WATERWAYS IDENTIFIED BY NTPC FOR CONSIDERATION FOR DECLARATION AS NATIONAL WATERWAYS The NTPC recommended the following principles for declaration of a national waterways. a. It should possess capability of navigation by mechanically propelled vessels of a reasonable size; b. It should have about 45 m wide channel and minimum 1.5 m depth; c. It should be a continuous stretch of 50 kms. The only exception to be made to waterway length is for urban conglomerations and intra-port traffic; d. It should i. pass through and serve the interest of more than one State(or)/li> ii. connect a vast and prosperous hinterland and major ports(or) iii. pass through a strategic region where development of navigation is considered necessary to provide logistic support for national security (or); iv. connect places not served by any other modes of transport. 33 | P a g e
Hydrographic surveys and techno economic feasibility studies are the prerequisites for f establishing the potential and viability of a waterway. Extensive surveys and investigations have been carried out on all the above waterways based on which three waterways have been so far declared as national waterways namely the Ganga, the Brahmaputr Brahmaputra a and the West Coast Canal. Development of many more new waterways as national waterways are planned during the 9th Plan period.
33 LOCATION WITH RESPECT TO THE HEART OF THE CITY. Vasco is located on the exterior of the Goa . its has the maximum interface with the sea thus port trust ( MARMAGOA PORT TRUST ) has been set up at this place. Its location with respect to the panaji the capital to the city is Vasco – Panaji 30 kms CONSIDERATION OF THE THREE PROPOSALS OF THE POR PORT. 1. OLD GOA 2. VASCO CRUISE BERTH. 3. PANAJI PORT. OLD GOA.
34 | P a g e
In olden days old Goa was the port for inland water transportation. It was the port from where the trading of goods was taken place the , different rulers who ruled on Goa , stated the Old Goa as their capital . Further when Portuguese conquered Goa they shifted the capital to Panaji as , • It was near to the sea, • It had the boon of a good draft for the vessels , that time it was 8 -9 m depth, thus the ships could easily enter the Mandovi river and dock to the port . from then on the Panaji port was greatly used. As on today no larger ships could enter the Old Goa, due to the Bridge constructed to link the North Goa and south Goa . Thus the entry of larger ships was restricted to panaji. VASCO CRUISE CUM CONTAINER BERTH. •
• • •
Away from the main city “ Panaji” . also away from Vasco city. A ideal place for the big ships and also congestion free of the roads as lots of passengers are to get down and transportation to the various parts of the city. Access to important places like, Old Goa, Aguada Fort , and other main beaches like Sinquerim, Calangute, Covla, is easy to access. The terminal will be much isolated to the liveable place. Thuws a barrier free for the residential and commercial place. The transportation is easy. The proposed terminal is near to the Baina Beach, but it is a restricted as said , Red light Area and thus the termainal will serve a good open area.
PANAJI PORT. • • • • •
Capital of the city. The tourist spot of most of the people maximum.thus a crowded area and political and social barriers The vessel which will arrive in the heart of the city will kill the river . The river side view will be totally destroyed incase of a ship stands for more than a day. The Mandovi river brings a lot of silt from the interior of the Goa thus the most important will be very costly. This port is easily accessible , as it is located in the centre of the city . The panaji has a depth of 4 - 4.5 m. This will be difficult to cater a large amount of ships.

SITE ANALYSIS The site is situated on the southern side of Marmagoa Port trust . the land adjoining the site is proposed for a four lane highway . There is existing contour 7m high. The land slopes towards south side. The area of the Terminal is wholly done as a reclaimed land. The Retaining walls retains the earth . The reclamation is done to a 100 m in the sea. The highway passes by the Baina Beach. The plot is totally isolated and far from the city. The land is touched by the Arabian sea on the South side. Further there is a PIQUERIUM land The land has a natural slope of 1:10 .thus the movement of cars, buses, Fire Brigades, Taxi’s becomes easy.. On the southern side where land touches the reclaimed area wall to the height of 30 cm is created so as not allow the rainwater to penetrate in the site. Gutters are been arranged so as to take the Rainwater into the sea. The South side faces the sea thus windows and openings has fenestration s to avoid the glare

CRUISE TRAFFIC Outbound Cruise Traffic The Indian market for outbound cruises, though small , is rising significantly. The penetration of cruise tourism as a concept is estimated at 0.5 – 1 percent of the estimated 4.5 millions Indians who go on foreign holidays annually. A recent government report indicates that the Indian spending of cruise tourism stood at rs 1. billion in 2001. This is from as estimated 22,000 passengers originating from India.

Share of Goa The three WTO, GDP and Growth Base forecast be considered as high, low and medium. At present 20-25% of cruise ships calls are appointed by Mormugao Port. Once a modern cruise terminal is developed (say by 2010) it is not responsible to expect every cruise ship touching Indian coast, to anchor at Mormugao Port. However, as a modest projection at least 50% must call at Mormugao. This, however only accounts for the cruise traffic an account of inbound traffic. In future there are visible prospects of originate cruise service demand to be generated by: Incoming International tourist arriving in India by air and take to cruising ex-Goa. Domestic tourists looking for cruising experience for which most of them go to Singapore.

CASE STUDIES
1 The Harumi Terminal, with a vessel docked at right. The tower signals incoming ships about harbor traffic conditions.
Project name: HARUMI PASSENGER SHIP TERMINAL Water body: TOKYO BAY INNER HARBOR Size: 25,723 square metres. Cost: $103 million. Completion date: 1991 Designers: Minoru Takeyama Architect and U/A Built in 1991 to handle growing passenger ship traffic, the new Port of Tokyo Passenger Ship Terminal is a triumphant beginning of a planned transformation of the landfill precint known as Harumi. This section of the Tokyo Harbor is targeted to become an international of Offices and Hotels. A stunning yet practical six storey structure, the Harumi terminal accomplishes something rare for a transportation facility – a sense of romance. Located a short distance from the heart of Tokyo (only three kilometers from the Ginza district) and accessible 41 | P a g e
by bus and ferry, the terminal is already a favourite spot for visitors of all ages. Architect Minoru Takeyama explains that the intent was to create a waterfront park at the base of the terminal. This has been done beautifully, using colourful tiles in a bold pattern, water. The new Harumi Passenger Ship features and successfully incorporating an earlier adjoing.

The Harumi Terminal is completely open to the public. The ground-level deck has a café, and the upper levels contain the passenger waiting room, an observation deck at the third level, and the restaurant on the fifth floor. The views from all the levels, which take in the entrance into the inner area of Tokyo Harbor, are spectacular. Nearby is “Rainbow Bridge”, named for the multicoloured lights that line it. distinctive feature of the terminal is an electric sign advising ships of the direction of traffic flow. 42 | P a g e
With its striking design, a white structural envelope with bright red accents capped by a pyramid shape, the Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal is a new landmark for the changing Tokyo Harbor. It does the job of loading passengers onto and off vessels efficiently, but is capable to accomplish much more as well. It creates a welcoming public space in a harbor that traditionally has been allocated to industry, fishing and flood protection. This is no longer its sole function, and the popularity of the Harumi Terminal is evidence for residents and visitors that the initiative has been well worth the effort.
The East elevation shows the passenger vessel dock in the foreground.
The west elevation is the perspective as seen from the public park that adjoins the Harumi Terminal.
Entry points, the restaurant space inside the triangular roof, and the observation and gallery space above it on the sixth level are visible in the section. 43 | P a g e
A landscaped public park near the terminal has been incorporated into the scheme. The interior of the fifth-floor restaurant, surrounded by tall windows on three sides, provides excellent harbor views.
Sculpture in a reflecting pool outside the building represent wind, water and fog and mirror the forms of the terminal and traffic-signal tower.

2 The New York City Passenger Ship Terminal Owned by the City of New York and operated by P&O Ports North America, provides five 1,000-foot-long berths suitable for servicing the World’s largest cruise vessels at a convenient location on the Hudson River only a few blocks west of Times Square in the heart of Manhattan. The terminal occupies the West Side of 12th Avenue between 46th and 54th streets. Among P&O Ports North America customers are Carnival, Celebrity, Costa, Crystal Cruises, Cunard, Festival Holland America, Norwegian , P&O Cruises,Premier, Princess, Regal, Royal Caribbean, Seabourn and Silversea. The terminal is also hom e to an array of trade shows and special events managed by P&O Ports North America The New York City Passenger Ship Terminal provides Five 1000 foot long berths suitable for servicing the World’s largest cruise vessels at a convenient location on the Hudson River only a few blocks west of Times Square in the heart of Manhattan. The terminal occupies the West Side of 12th Avenue between 46th and 54th Streets. There are three levels at which operations take place. Taxi Cabs and Personal Vehicles drop and receive passengers at the elevated Mid-Level of the Viaduct which is where cruising passengers access their vessels.This level is reached by driving up the ramp past the guard booth at54th Street, the northern limit of theTerminal. Passengers traveling by cab or personal auto connect with their vehicles here where they can enter or exit the Customs Hall, the Embarkation Booths and the Vessel Gangways at this level. 46 | P a g e
Buses and Limousines operate on the Street Level. Buses are slotted both inside and outside the Piers. Limo Passengers are processed mainly at the mouths of the three piers where baggage is accepted or delivered by attending Porters. The Third Level is devoted to Cruise Passenger Parking. More than 1000 spaces are available on a first come basis. Daily parking is available for vehicles dropping off or picking up passengers. In the unusual event that the Lot should become filled, there are alternative lots available in the neighborhood. There has been no instance in recent memory when there has been insufficient space for any cruise parking customers. The Parking Level is accessed by a ramp at the south end of the Mid-Level Viaduct.
MIDTOWN LOCATION Midtown Manhattan is defined between 42nd and 59th Streets along Broadway. The Passenger Ship Terminal is located just five blocks to its west, taking all the Hudson River Waterfront from 46th to 54th Streets. The Hotels, Theatres, Restaurants and Entertainment Centers are a short cab ride away.
INLAND ACCESS The Passenger Ship Terminal is reasonably convenient to all three Major Airports that serve the Metropolitan Area: LaGuardia, Kennedy and Newark International. Taxi cabs are available for direct service to the Piers. Other shuttle bus service to intermediate mid-town locations which would entail a shorter cab ride might also be engaged. The Port Authority Interstate Bus Terminal, Penn Station and Grand Central Station are each within a short distance by cab

May be aerated or high strength material. The float is moulded around a collapsible former, or else made in two halves afterwards joined and sealed. One good system in the United States is the “Bercleve Uniflat” – Texturing the top surface gives a cool and non-slip surface. All services including lighting etc. are supplied. Cracking and leaking were disadvantages of this material but advances in quality control have improved reliability.
PLASTIC:

CHAPTER 13 : LANDSCAPING No aspects of the development impress the public more than the knowledge that the eventual scheme will hormonise with the existing environment. GENERAL LANDSCAPE DESIGN PRINCIPLES – WATERFRONT SIRE: • • •
Here the scheme deals almost solely with hard surfaces, changing levels the selection of materials and skillful manipulation of the spaces between buildings. The water surface itself offers qualities- choppy, reflective, opaque, transport – each capable of exploitation by a creative designer. Here the aim is to combine with the buildings equipment, boats, water, roads and car parks, knitting them together and enhancing them individually.
BASIC ELEMENTS: • •
• •
• •
Considering the hot, humid, climate of Bombay, it seems natural for luxurious planting wherever possible, to border and even overhand the water. Inland marines/ harbour spaces and built-in coastal types allow for water beyond the harbour to be seen through the trees, while in an off-shore marina planting stops behind the land/water interface to give a hard edged immediately between sheltered and open water. Planting should look natural than imposed. Landscaping should not be confined to the most obvious areas of garden and lawn. Car parks look a lot worse empty than full, when they are unrelieved asphalt, then can with advantage be reduced in level, surfaced with. Grass blocks, enlivened with groups of trees, screened with plating or walls. Using screens and hedges.
a. To relate buildings to the site and to each other and to link external spaces. b. To demarcate boundaries and areas. c. To accommodate changes in level and ground monitoring. d. To shelter from wind, dust, strong and noise. e. To give privacy, screening and visual barrier and security. f. To form spaces by enclosing or dividing areas. g. To direct pedestrian circulation. h. To channels views to or away from building or objects. i. To provide contrast in form, texture and colour with building, pavings or water. 54 | P a g e
j. To contrast with or complement sculpture. With urban sites, buildings often divert the winds natural course, funneling and increasing its force until intolerable conditions are created. Long, low structures, such as high walls or terraces of buildings provide sheltered areas with some alleviation on the windward side and 10 times their height on the leeward site. However, the ends of such structures are particularly turbulent, the wind reducing towards their center. If the wind direction is parallel to the structures- funneling may occur. Solid structures always induce turbulence and openings act like weirs. Screens are sometimes beneficial in breaking the force at troublesome points. A decision to use trees however requires allocation of space at the design stage, as they need space in which to grow.
For quick screening graded earth banks may be used as a start, perhaps by employing dredged material. Their lees can shelter quick growing hedges, trees and shrubs.

CHAPTER 15: GENERAL DESIGN PRINCIPLES The land to water area in each case remains equivalent and constant but shapes and relationships vary. In fact in such design problems, • The geography determines the engineering • The engineering determines the profile • The layout determines the architecture. The environment of the coast is harsh and water transportation facilities must be designed to withstand the various destructive biological, physical , chemical and mechanical actions which is inherent to the environment.
WIND: It is approximate movement of air-masses across the earth’s surface. Winds result from changes in temperature of atmosphere and corresponding changes in air density. Wind exerts a pressure on objects in its path which depends on wind velocity. Should be remembered that loading equipment will not generally be used when winds exerts about 15 mile/hr and ships will not usually remain along side a wharf during a severe storm. WAVES: Winds contribute to the formation of waves. When a wind moves across a body of water it exerts a tangential force on the water surface which results in the formation of small ripples. These irregularities seem to produce changes in air stress above the water . Pressure differentials are caused which make the water undulate. As wind continues, this process is repeated as waves grow.
56 | P a g e
WAVE REFRACTION: Waves when approach the shore at an oblique angle, the portion of the wave nearest to shore slows down with the result that the wave swings around and becomes parallel to the shore. At the same time, wave lengths decrease as wave period remain constant. SIZE AND SHAPE OF HARBOUR AND MOORING BASIN: Three types of harbours: a)
Offshore type has minimum land take • Minimum dredging • Expensive in deep waters • Vulnerable to weather, currents • Navigational hazard
b) SEMI RECESSED TYPE: This type is good for cut and fill economies however it may pose a navigational hazard. c) BUILT IN TYPE: Good for cut and fill economies however it may pose a navigational hazard. d) LAND LOCKED TYPE : Gives a maximum sense of enclosures and minimum interface with shorelines. Here disadvantages may be distance from water. NOTE: The land and water area in each case remains equivalent and constant through shapes and relationship may vary as land wraps around the water. The minimum harbour area is the space required for berthing ramps plus the turning basis in front of them. BREAKWATERS: Requirement of protection of artificial and semi natural harbours. They are constructions of linear nature with water on either side. Except for floating types they rise from the bed of sea and are visible above surface at all times. Jetties, Wharves, Piers may cut as breakwater but not all break water are jetties.
BOAT HANDLING: GANTRIES: These are fixed frameworks supporting one or two overhead trolleys-rails, the craft being cradled and hoisted in slings suspended from them. The simplest type straddle a docking area.
57 | P a g e
SITING OF BREAKWATER: The selection of most suitable arrangement will depend principally upon the direction of maximum waves and its effectiveness in quitting the harbour may be checked by model tests. WHEN WRONGLY POSITIONED: 1) ENCOURAGEMENT OF POLLUTION: For example – Sanford, Florida where at certain times, large quantities of weeks pour in through the entrance. 2) STRUCTURAL FAILURE: Due to wrong positioning in respect of the direction of approach of damaging weather is not uncommon. It is better to ward off the attacking wave than to attempt resistance by strength alone. 3) PROMOTION OF SILTATION AND EROSION: An optimum position is chosen in relation to know currents, drifting and bed material than sanitation and erosion or both can be a real problem not only at the marine site but at a considerable distance from it. 4) PARTICULAR CASE HAS TO BE TAKEN AT THE ENTRANCE: If it is too narrow it gives a funelling effect, if it is too much wild it gives insufficient protection from greasy seas. PILES: Three main categories of piles: 1) Those supporting structure such as jetties, fixed moorings, gentries or hoists ( complex structures, supporting piles and buildings). 2) Those restraining floaty moorings (simple free standing columns). 3) Those supporting perimeter bulk heads or quays (sheet piles). The three principle materials are timber, concrete and steel selecting a suitable type. Many piles are combinations of materials, particularly R.C.C. which will display good and bad qualities of both the materials.
58 | P a g e
Piles may be round, square or octagonal and in length straight or tapered. Hollow piles are generally filled in with concrete or R.C.C. core. The strength of piles varies according to whether there is a variable tidal range or is a locked water area, where the relationship between the water levels and waterways is constant. MATERIALS, PLANNING AND CONSIDERATIONS: All the materials used are exposed to high winds and damp ground conditions, hence the materials to be avoided are: a) b) c) d) e) f)
Untreated timber Rendering Unpointed brickwork Light weight metals for roofs Tile hanging Large paves of glass
DREDGING General: Dredging is defined as “ excavating underwater”. This excavation is carried out to increase the depth of waterway, to provide sufficient draft for ships in harbours, entrances to docks, etc. Action of waves and tides tend to deposit sand and silt within maritime enclosures and navigable rivers. During ebb tides, certain amount of scouring takes place, but still a large deposit remains uncleared reducing the navigable depths. Dredge or Dredger is the name applied to the equipment which carries out this deepening or dredging work. Thus, a dredge is an earth-moving machine which is designed to increase the depth of water by removing the bed material of water surface. The dredging may either be capital dredging or maintenance dredging. In capital dredging, the required depth of water at a particular place is obtained and it is then maintained regularly to have a convenient harbour. Thus, capital dredging indicates initial removal of material and the material removed by be anything from rock to silt. In case of maintenance dredging, the depth of water is maintained by carrying out dredging operations periodically and it is quite clear that the material obtained during maintenance dredging will be in the form of fresh deposits such as sand and silt only. It may be noted that maintenance dredging is one of the important activity at all the harbours and there is no harbour worth the name where maintenance dredging is not required. It may be noted that ports have been shifted in the past simply because the harbour or the entrance to it got
59 | P a g e
silted up. Similarly, many harbours have been abandoned because of difficulties involving the overcoming of silting of harbour or for providing more depth of water to ships of big size. Disposal of the dredged material: Dredged material is mainly disposed off in the following ways: 1. Conveyed out to sea and deposited far from the site of accumulation. 2. Conveyed and deposited in the swampy areas inland or adjacent to the shore for reclamation of land. In respect of the above, State laws are established as to the disposal of the dredged material and have to be followed. Types of dredging devices: The following are some of the modern types of mechanical dredges used in modern marine engineering practice: 1. Dipper dredge. 2. Grapple dredge 3. Continuous bucket elevator or ladder dredge. 4. Hydraulic or suction dredge. A brief description of the working of these dredges will not be given. (1) Dipper Dredge: It consists floating vessel strongly constructed, carrying an inclined frame A in the bow to hold the boom B by guy wires. Through the middle of the wires boom runs a dipper stick, worked by a rack and pinion arrangement and to the end of which is rigidly attached the dipper bucket K, with a flap. A hoist cable is fixed to the bucket, to move it up or down. The vessel is fixed to the bed in position by means of three stakes during the dredging operations. The boom B could swing horizontally at the bow. Operation: The hoist cable is released, to enable the bucket to reach the bed when a crowding force is applied to the stick, through the rack and pinion forcing the teeth of the bucket to bite into the soil. The hoist cable is slowly pulled resulting in a cut being made in the bed. The hoisting is continued and the bucket is hauled out of the water, the boom B is swung round to deposit the material in the bucket, into any scow alongside or on to any predetermined place, by opening the flap. The boom is swung back and the dipper is lowered, in preparation for the next cut. Advantages of dipper dredge: (1)
Easy manoeuvrebility and hence, suitable for use in confined space around docks and narrow channels. (2) Very powerful and capable of excavating in hard soil, for removal of boulders, and breaking up of heavy objects like old piles, cribs, etc. This type of dredge can dig in depts. Of 15 m of water and the dipper capacity varies from 1 to 4 m3 normally. These types of dredges of heavy capacities of about 12 m3 are in use in the Panama canal. (2) Grapple dredge: It consists of a substantial hull, to the front of which are fixed a frame and a boom B. The frame is guyed back, by back legs. A grab bucket K is suspended by two cable lines H, H called the opening and closing lines. The boom is fixed at the required elevation by means of a guy wire and arranged to rotate through a horizontal angle on a pivot at the lower end. The
60 | P a g e
bucket hoisting pass over two main sheaves fixed to the upper end of the boom. The dredge is moored by the help of stakes fixed fore and aft. Operation: After positioning the dredge, a scow is brought alongside and tied fast to it, on the right side. The bucket is lowered to the bottom, where it bites the bed and fills itself. Then tension is put on the closing cable, which closes the bucket, hoists the load and swings the boom horizontally to the right. When the boom reaches over to the scow, the tensions in the cables are reversed, and this results in opening and discharging of the bucket and the boom swings back to the digging position as before. The hull is generally 30m to 60m long and 15m across, the boom being 15m long. The capacity of the grab bucket ranges from 8 to 23 m3. This dredge is very efficient and suitable for dredging materials, like sand, clay or mud, but not good for hard diggings. The bed dredged by a grab seldom be even and will exhibit pits and high spots. (3) Continuous bucket elevator or ladder dredge: It consists of an endless chain of buckets, mounted and running round a ladder L, formed in the middle of the bow of a floating vessel. The ladder could be lowered or raised by the line N. The chain of buckets is operated, manually or mechanically by a big wheel E. The buckets are provided with a pronged cutting edges. Operation: Each bucket cuts and brings up material to the top of the ladder as the chain moves round , where each bucket inverts on descent and discharges it contents into special holds H, H. The vessel moves forward on completion of work at each section. The size of these vessels is about 60m in length and 15m in width, having a draft of about 2.50m to 3m. These can be used for digging depths of 9m to 12m. The average digging capacity of such a vessel is about 6000 to 7650 m3 per day. These dredge is very suitable for handling coarse gravel or sand, hard clays and even soft or broken stone, at fairly good depths and beyond the reach of a dipper. The bed dredged is the least disturbed. (4) Hydraulic or suction dredge: It consists of a suction pipe, carrying at the lower end a cutter of some sort and having a universal joint at top. This pipe is supported on a ladder and held in position by an A frame mounted on the bow of the dredging vessel. The suction pipe is connected to a centrifugal pump located amidships having a long flexible delivery pipe discharging into hopper barges alongside the vessel itself or on to specially selected spot on shore, needing reclaiming or filling. Operation: The hull V carries the suction pipe on a ladder in the bow and the pumping machinery P is housed in the middle of the ship with its delivery pipe D discharging into hopper barges floating behind the dredging vessel is moored by anchors. The cutter rotates cuts and loosens the soil for quick and easy suction by the pump. The cut up material is well churned in the operation and mixed with water to facilitate suction.
61 | P a g e
Sea going dredges of this type have a size varying from 45 m to 140 m in length and 9 m to 30 m in width. The digging depths vary from 4.50 m to 15 m. The machinery is operated either by steam power or electric power. The pump is a special type of centrifugal pump capable of handling heavy particles of dirt and rock brought out in dredging. This type of dredge is very effective in beds of sand, silt, mud and clay in open water and is an excellent machine to clear sand bars. If big boulders or tree stumps are met with, they will have to be lifted out before putting the cutter to work. Gravel and soft rocks are easily reduced by the cutter.

CHAPTER 11- TERMINAL FACILITIES 1.0
SELECTION OF WATER FRONT FACILITIES: FACTORS GOVERNING SELECTION OF WATERFRONT FACILITY:
• • • • • • • 2.0
THE selection of appropriate type of berthing facilities is governed by following factors: Tidal variation Draught Formation of water waybed Hydraulic characteristics of waterway Meteorologic characteristic Craft characteristic and dimensions Soil condition FUNCTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: (determined from a study of marine sites in U.K./U.S.A. ACCESS: This is a problem in itself between convenience and security. Hence, the number of unit should be restricted to a minimum, as each required supervision of some kind. It should be also kept in mind that people want short and easy access to vessel etc.Circulation within the marina/harbour – A visually separation of vehicle types must take place before entering the site by clearly signing. The separate entrances of visitors, service vehicles.
3.0
TYPICAL ALLOCATION OF ON SHORE FACILITIES: CAR PARKING: It may be advantageous to have more than one car park it may help reduced the impact of these boring pieces. HARDSTANDING: This is a small surface area, clear of all obstruction generally its position is between the boat store and the tractor (if any) in the landward direction and the boat handling and the barge on mooring side. This must be easily reached from the access road. It is required to serve the slipway, haul out areas and will continue uninterrupted until ended by bulkhead wall. Surface must be well drained, non-slip and self cleaning concrete ridged with board tamping, proprietory paving slabs, or between are good materials. Sand, gravel, glass or established earth are not. If a fairly dark material is used this colour and tenure will control sharply with the smoother white surface of bulkhead wall capping. This looks good, avoids glare and
65 | P a g e
clearly shows the water edge. The size of shape of area are dictated by the need to manover the craft. SERVICE TRANSPORT FACILITIES: • • • • • •
Accessible from the road, Kept back from the water and not visible from the water mooring. Used to link, repair yard, workshop and sites. Separate from service entrance to restaurant etc. Requires a robust subbase a heavy duty non slip surface. Should be well drained with oil trap gulleys. Requires screening desk and reception kiosk.
BOAT BUILDING AND REPAIRS: • • •
May be positioned on the perimeter of any site and it generally extends or expands away from the marine. Should have direct access to main road. Launching and retrieval may be into the marine itself or into its own bay.
WORKSHOP: • • • • •
This may be solely for marine or may be combined with boat repairs. Location should be on the water side to ease handling. Well lighted under cover area with good dry storage space, small office, staff rooms and lavatories. Access through the service transport area. Delivery vehicles may be checked in through transport office and personnel through reception office or kiosk.
SALES, SERVICE AND INFORMATION CENTRE: An ideal layout is one which spares the depth of land area i.e. from public enterprises through the waters edge, thus allowing the enquiries office to be near the enterprise and shops to be accessible to water. • • • •
The office should include the usual accommodation for the staff, a public space and enquiry counter, a managers office lavatories and staff. A display of the area can made an interesting feature. The information office should be easily accessible with a high standard of attractiveness. A passenger transport terminal gives a service and a friendly and efficient impression from the buildings and staff is important.
66 | P a g e
SHOP: • • • • •
The number of sizes are governed by traffic and nearness of outside retailers. Sometimes, and specifically in this case, shops shall attract trade from outside. These may be located at entrance, the car park and the residential element if any. The service transport adjoins this sales area. Orientation requires thought and shop canopy as protection from sun and rain may be advantage.
RESIDENTIAL ELEMENT: • • • • • • •
• • • 4.0
Any restaurant and shopping buildings requires to be self contained i.e. they should have there own parking, public and service entrances. These may have their own stretch of waterfront. Though secondary in status and peripheral in location, these have a strong influence, upon marines character of clientle. There should be easy covered access to offices and also to shopping. Aspect and orientation are important consideration. Views across the water may be featured. These buildings are principal elements in ht and bulk and their relationship with other components with the site and its surrounding including views from the offshore require consideration.
The convenience and kitchen are closed related to fulfill the requirements of economy. Owner and visitor vehicle parkings are separate with separate entrance. A continuous damp proof membrane over the ground floor and flexible damp proofing covers with cavity contacts for external walls, clad externally. SHORELINE FACILITIES: These facilities include provision for custom and coast guards. Each requiring a good view of harbour and approach channel and good communication system as well as providing their independent services they improve security with their surveillance. CUSTOMS: This is a small office on the harbour side or quay with suitable fixed steps or floating pier and ramp to boat deck level. COAST GUARD: If there are no naturally high features nearby the marinas are suitable locations for 67 | P a g e
coast guard station. A tower is virtually obligatory for viewing, although the office or log room is at quay level. The tower is usually reached from inside the office as outside stairs can be too exposed in bad weather. The journey to and from the premises must be reasonably sheltered and safe as well as illuminated at night.
RANGE OF LANDSLIDE FACILITIES:
5.0
• • • • • • • •
The specific aspects considered are: Access, circulation and parking of different types of vehicles to adequately serve the facilities both for present and future. Range of amenities to be provided for passengers using the facility. Essential needs (police, customs and fire-fighting) Storage areas for fuel, maintenance and repair. Need for land reclamation and its implications on coast Short-term and long-term needs. Differentiations between desirable and essential facilities Differentiation between land and infrastructure provision vis-a-vis building provision.
The above factors influence the cost of facilities considerably. Hence, a very careful Scrutiny has been made before arriving at the final selection of facilities and layout. • At both ends, parking for at least - cars is necessary considering the commuter nature of the link. Also lay-byes for about - buses and - taxis are to be provided for picking up passengers. • Integration of facilities in the vicinity is important, at Panaji side, the buildings and roads are to be set within a landscape which will be an extension of the landscape of the surrounding new areas. Also, as far as possible, the existing regulation is to be extended to cover new areas to unify the natural landscape of the area. PASSENGER: It is important that accommodation to cater demand is made. Such a peak occurs when ships dock at jetty of both alighting and boarding passengers have to be accommodated. Hence, waiting halls and toilets/refreshment facilities need to cater every person at a time. At 1 m/person the area should be calculated. In addition to these toilet facilities, ticket office, small shops, restaurant, tea and refreshment stall are to be provided. The departure hall needs to be sufficient to disperse the passengers efficiently other requirements will betaxi stand, pick up and set off points, bus lay-by/bus station and parking areas for cars and vehicles. A parking area for about 70 cars is considered sufficient with a small bus terminus for about 5 buses. STORAGE AND WORKSHOPS: Storage areas, for keeping accessories, records, control room, equipment etc. are required. Also a workshop cum boat yard with a winch-house is necessary at Panaji and for minor repairs and maintenance work. The storage area proposed will also cater to future expansion needs. The workshop facility provides for all types of ships in operation. 68 | P a g e
ESSENTIAL STAFF ACCOMMODATION: Apart from working space for customs, police and staff issuing tickets and operating the service, essential residential accommodation need to be provided for security personnel. EMERGENCYREQUIREMENT: The station of a police post are necessary. Ambulance services and first aid are also needed. This is proposed along with the terminal complex. FUTURE EXPANSION: It is proposed to provide space to accommodate the future expansion in service of related maintenance repair and other services at Vasco proposed cruise terminal. VEHICULAR CIRCULATION: The terminals at Bombay and Goa are linked with existing road network to At both ends, parking areas for cars, taxis and buses are to be provide parking for at least 100 commuter nature of the link. Also lay byes for about 5 buses and 20 taxis are to be provided for picking up passengers. 6.0
OFFSHORE FACILITIES:
Treatment of waterfront and water ways: •
The plan line of land interface varies, departures from a straight edge help to relieve the tedium of uninterrupted bulkheads. The aim is to achieve an interesting shape with some recesses and comers, a sense of enclosure without undue interest and at a reasonable cost. The margin between the waters edge and the building offers scope for imagination by way of shape, diversity and surface treatment. The heights of buildings should vary to give a degree of enclosure. The margin area should be handled imaginatively as an element in its own right, orientation and aspect are important and so are views, both across the harbour and inland from the level of the water, the quay and any upper stories.
•
Perimeter walk-way - its continuity - its contribution as a linear precinct with changing functions- free of vehicles and turned to the face of pedestrians – Benefits derived from the everchanging views that serial vision presents to the viewer.
•
Area for sun and shade
•
Wind tunnels have to be avoided
•
The water front buildings, Cantilevering over water if they are light weight, or floating these saves on space.
69 | P a g e
•
An open ground floor exposes the hinterland to water.
•
Piles as tall as poles serve as goals as one proceeds along the piers. The mood created is quite different from the low flat pontoons and constant water level of a locked harbour.
•
The form of harbour and the selection of the fixed pier or floatation system will have a profound effect upon the eventual system of the water area.
MOORING PATTERNS AND HARBOUR SHAPE: •
From analysis of the catchment area and the likely percentage distribution of the sizes. The layout of berths maybe designed an account of tide and prevailing wind is required.
•
As far as the fishing terminal is concerned the people do not mind its size at present as the sense of intimacy seems to matter more.
SHORELINE TERMS: PIER: A fixed or moving promontory giving access to moored boats and providing berths for them. CATWALK OR FINGER PIER: Narrow subsidiary pier. GUIDES: The means by which a floating pier is attached to a pile. PONTOON ON FLOAT: The buoyancy system of a floating pier.
DECKING: The upper surface of a pier or walkway. FENDER: The protective edge, trim of a pier or walkway. HINGE: Means of articulation between fixed and floating systems. RAMP: The usual means of access between fixed and floating systems. FLOATATION SYSTEM: 70 | P a g e
Entire floating system. MOORING PATTERN: General arrangement of berths. BERTH: A boat mooring station. CHANNEL: The main root entering or within a harbour. CLEARANCE: Distance between a boat and its berth. TOLERANCE: The distance between a boat and its berth. GALLER Y: A duct carrying services.
STRINGER: A frame or edge of a pier or walkway. ANCHOR PILE: A pile for mooring to. TRAVELER BAR: A vertical or horizontal mooring rod fixed to a pile or stringer. CLEATES RINGS AND BOLLORDS: Objects to secure boats to their berths.

DESIGN CONCEPT
The universe consists of positive and negative electrons. The positive and negative thus forms a element which in turns forms nature. Positive and negative generates nature. In nature every single particle is (+) or (-). Positive and Negative charges keeps the world going and emerging new things.
Earth is taken positive as it is constantly on stay in relation to water and Sea as a negative element as it is in a movement in relation to the land.
The water ( SEA) moves in a specific movem,ent. This is the movement of a negative element, When this form is attached to a positive element it gives a SHAPE, LINE . If it is a 2D line it gives a road , movement, passage, two sides of a line. If it is emerged in 3D form it gives two different environments. The two sides of this 3D curve can be felt differently . The curve if closed from one side gives a feeling of security, shade if covered by a roof, a resting place. The other surface forms a surface of exterior part. Every building, structure, need a ventilation , movement of air, movement of people. Thus the two arrows indicate the movement.and thus three different buildings are emerged. 1) ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING 2) TERMINAL BUILDING 3) RESTAURANT AND SHOPPING. 72 | P a g e

STRUCTURAL SYSTEM The structural system has been conceived in a comprehensive manner and integrated with the requirements of architectural planning and design and the services system. The structural arrangement has been planned so as to effect the maximum economy and safety while considering the worst load combinations arising out of seismic/wind and imposed loading in accordance with the prevailing codes of practices. To provide more flexibility of use in office areas, prestanding columns have been reused to the minimum, resulting in fairly large grids of 7.5 mx 5m & 5m x 15m as shown in the drawing. This factor, coupled with air conditioning ducting requirements, necessitated special consideration in the formulation of structural concept of the main frame and in the sizing of beams and slabs. Subsoil investigation covering standard penetration test and dynamic cone penetration test, along with the relevant laboratory test of soil and water samples have been carried out. Based on the soil investigation details pile foundation is proposed for the Terminal building. The Structural system used is Structural Steel “I” , “L” ans “[“ sections for the columns and the Roofing pattern. The Structural Steel are encased in the concrete for the better safety from the corrosion from the sea erosion. The piles used are of concrete . The effective use is Three piles below 1 column. The Roofing material is “KALZIP”
(The product Kalzip® and Kalbau® aluminium sheets are available in a wide range of different surfaces and colours,for roofs and facades. In addition to the conventional robust,
74 | P a g e
stucco-embossed aluminium finish, Corus has now extended the design potential of Kalzip® and Kalbau® with their introduction of Kalzip® AluPlusPatina, which provides yet another attractive metallic design option with a high-quality appearance. The pre-weathered profile sheets are made from resistant stucco-embossed aluminium with additional surface treatment. With this treatment, the aluminium surface loses its natural shine and significantly reduces diffuse light reflection. Depending on the angle of incidence, the level of sheen can be reduced by up to 20%. The characteristics of this surface finish are comparable to those of an aluminium profile sheet which has been weathered over years. The natural ageing process, which the profile sheets undergo during exposure to weathering, is not hindered and proceeds in the usual manner. The special treatment creates a smooth, dirt-repelling surface.
The thickness ess are 0.80 mm 0.90 mm& 1.00 mm The available profile forms are
straight, convex curved, concave curved, tapered, tapered-convex curved, elliptically curved, hyperbolically curved
The product advantages • A robust surface which is highly resistant to weathering • Significantly reduced light reflection • Pre-weathered surface creates an elegant and matt appearance • Ideal for cladding • High level of inherent stability makes its suitable for large spans • A variety of profile forms are available • Sophisticated detailed solutions and fittings) PILES Three main categories of piles: 1. Those supporting structures such as jetties, fixed moorings, gantries or hoists (complex structures, supporting piles and buildings). 2. Those restraining floaty moorings (simple free standing columns). 3. Those supporting perimeter bulk heads or quays (sheet piles). The three principle materials are concrete and steel selecting a suitable type. Many piles are combinations of materials, particularly R.C.C. which will display good and bad qualities of both the materials. Piles may be round, square or octagonal and in length straight or tapered. Hollow piles are generally filled in with concrete or R.C.C. core. The strength of piles varies according to whether there is a variable tidal range or is a locked water area, where relationship between the water levels and waterways is constant. 75 | P a g e
