BHUBANESWAR: Riverine navigation has begun at Odisha's Paradip Port. Orissa Stevedores Limited (OSL), one of the largest loading/unloading firms in the country, has transferred heavy lift cargo via riverine navigation from Paradip Port.
OSL, led by business magnet Mahimanana Mishra, has been successful in discharging heavy lifts of about 400 tonnes (mt) at Paradip Port as well as positioning the cargo at the Luna river jetty via riverine navigation.
Luna Jetty is about 45 km away from Paradip Port.
Tata Steel had imported four heavy lifts from China through Paradip Port. Since the packages could not be traversed through road from the port to the destination at Kalinga Nagar in Jajpur district, the task of transferring the load was awarded to OSL.
