Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) Thursday said it is looking at multi-modal transport options, including coastal shipping, to reduce the delivery time of boilers from its Tiruchirapalli unit in Tamil Nadu.
The company is in talks with Karaikal Port, in the union territory of Puducherry, to carry its equipment by sea and also with Indian Railways.
'We are using Karaikal Port for our export shipments. Similarly, we are exploring the options of carrying our boilers and related equipments on ships. As per our plan, we will unload our cargo at Karaikal Port and the port authorities will take care of loading and onward shipment and unloading at the destination,' the firm's executive director A.V. Krishnan told reporters here.
Tiruchirapalli is around 320 km from Chennai.
According to him, BHEL is executing projects in the eastern region and would like to ship its heavy boilers and other items to Paradip (Orissa) or Haldia (West Bengal) ports.
Already, the power company has shipped equipments for a 4x125 MW gas based power project in Tripura through Bangladesh.
