Indian iron ore mining mess - Mormugao Port not hit by Karnataka ban

The Karnataka government's restriction on mining and transportation of iron ore has had little impact on the traffic throughput of Mormugao port whose single largest item of traffic is iron ore.

Mr Praveen Agarwal chairman of Mormugao port said that "Out of 54 million tonnes of iron ore exports by two ports in Goa, namely, Mormugao and Panjim under the state government, in 2009-10, the share of Karnataka iron ore was only 6 million tonne. In other words, the bulk of iron ore shipped through Goa's ports was sourced from mines located in the state itself."

Mr Agarwal, however, could not specify how much iron ore sourced from Karnataka his port had handled. He said that "This is difficult to specify because the Karnataka ore is blended with local ore before shipment through the ports in Goa. The trade gives us an estimate of the volume of Karnataka ore received and blended.”

Despite the non availability of iron ore from Karnataka currently, the Mormugao port handled more iron ore exports in the first five months of the current fiscal vis-à-vis the same period last year 13.1 million tonne or an additional 1.2 million tonne

The target for the current year is around 45 million tonne and the chairman seemed confident of achieving the target. The port's total traffic target for the current fiscal has been set at 52 million tonne up from 48 million tonne in 2009-10.
