4.23 The export of iron ore has increased from 37.27 million tonnes in 2000–01 to 78.14million tonnes in 2004–05, i.e. a growth of more than 100 per cent in a span of five years.Port-wise exports of Indian iron ore are indicated in Table 4.4.Table 4.4: Port-wise Exports of Indian Iron Ore(million tonnes)Port 2000–01 2001–02 2002–03 2003–04 2004–05 (p)Chennai 6.79(18.22)7.43(17.84)7.98(16.62)8.23(13.15)9.54(12.21)Haldia 0.35(0.94)1.62(3.90)2.69(5.60)3.74(5.98)4.96(6.35)Goa 17.56(47.12)18.90(45.39)21.97(45.75)30.72(49.10)31.42(40.21)Mumbai-FL --- --- 0.15(0.31)0.04(0.06)0.05(0.06)New Mangalore 4.43(11.89)4.86(11.67)5.62(11.71)6.86(10.97)9.40(12.03)Paradip 2.73(7.32)3.19(7.66)4.13(8.60)5.48(8.76)9.05(11.58)Visakhapatnam 5.41 5.64 5.48 6.898.65(14.51) (13.54) (11.41) (11.01) (11.08)Karwar --- --- --- 0.500.80(0.80) (1.02)Note: p: provisional figures.

However, it was found that the ambitious port developmentplan taken up by the Ministry of Shipping already includes these projects, and some of themhave even been completed as described below:(i)(ii)(iii)The wagon tippers in Chennai Port have already been revamped and replacedas per the requirements of the iron ore exporters;Ennore Port plans to take up within a year the development of an iron oreberth through public–private partnership to handle 12 million tonnes of ironore;At Mangalore, the port already has the depth for receiving vessels with adraught of 14 metres and is proposing to increase it to receive vessels of 17metres draught. The port is also planning for mechanical unloading andstacking;105
