Organisation

MMTC –Minerals and Metals Trading Corporation, Goa

Official met

Shreedhar .N. Nayak, General Manager

Discussion topic: Iron ore Export Market scenario was discussed in terms of future potential, cost factors and prospects within the Goa region. Some data that was generated are: China imported 28% more Quantity at the time of Olympics. local factories of China were shut down at that time; Brazil is a tough competitor for India in regard to Iron ore export. MMTC handles only 1 million tons of Iron Ore per annum and is presently sourced from Karnataka . MMTC also imports steel scrap to the tune of 12000 M/tons. It was felt that the present capacity of existing berth is excess compared to the relative quanti ty handled in the recent past. Last year approximately 30 M/tons of Ore export was handled through the berth and other moorings and berth No 9 was most preferred due to better facility of mechanical loading.

Operation charges were around Rs.90/ Per M/ton and Rs, 70 /per M/Ton at the moorings. Port charges were at Rs 10/- Per M/Ton. MMTC felt that import of cargo would pick up with the development of

Mir – Transystems Consortium

better facilities.

Improvement of road and rail facilities is to be looked in to facilitate better

transportation so that import and export from Goa port can increase to a large extent. MMTC will be interested in associating with the development of dedicated facilities for iron ore handling.

9.

Organisation :

Indian Coast Guard , Goa

Official met

Cdr. M.S Dangi, Deputy Inspector General (Goa Area)

Discussion topic: Coast Guard requires dedicated berthing facilities which are currently not available at Goa and therefore vessels are being sent to Mumbai or even to Calcutta due to this constraint. The Coast Guard requires jetties of 150 M ts length with back up area to the tune of 1000m 2 for fuel dumps, power transmission, a small administrative office and other supporting facilities. With the availability of space and facilities there is good scope for es tablishing a ship repair facility as well. The largest vessel of coast guard is 105m long with a draft of 8m . Coast Guard could consider Goa as a base port if all facilities were made available and could also consider investing in these additional facilities.

10.

Organisation :

National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Researches

Officials met

Mr. Rasik Ravindra – Director and Dr. Sudhakar – Group Director

Discussion topic: The NCAOR operates seven vessels, all out of Goa Port. The “Sagarkanya” has a maximum length of 101m and a new vessel of length 150m is planned to be procured in the year 2012.

Normal vessels stay at port for a maximum of 3 days and the Antarctic expedition vessel would stay up to 7 days (normally once in a year). It would be ideal if they had a dedicated facility with berth length up to 150m with supporting infrastructure like cranes, office space and covered and uncovered storage area.

On board strength on normal vessels is around 60-80 personnel and around 100 on the

Antarctic vessel.

Mir – Transystems Consortium

DBM Geotechnics and Constructions Pvt.Ltd,Mumbai was required to conduct Sub bottom profiling at west of break water line, Mormugao port Trust off,Goa, West coast of India. Survey data acquisition operations were conducted during 16th to 18 th February, 2009.

All water depths wherever mentioned in this report refer to chart datum.

General bathymetry within the survey area shows smooth seabed and the sloping towards Northwest gradually. Maximum depth in the survey area is 14.8 m on the NW corner of the survey area and minimum depth is 2.5 mtrs near SW corner of the survey area. From shoreline up to distance of 250 mtrs undula ted seabed is recorded and depth varying from 2.5 mtrs to 9.8 mtrs. Remaining survey area is recorded as smooth seabed depth varying from 9.1 mtrs to 14.8 mtrs. Bathymetry along the breakwater is recorded 4.6 mtrs and maximum is 10. 7mtrs. General trend of the contour runs from Northeast to Southwest and the depth reaches to 10 mtrs within distance of 250 mtrs from shoreline.

In general, Side scan sonar reveals an almost a flat seabed with varying reflectivity as follows: Type 1 : Type 2 : Type 3 : Type 4 :

Low reflective sediments (Silty clays) Medium to high reflective lineations (Sand waves) Highly reflective surface (Weathered lateritic bed rock overprinted by fine Sands) Sand ripples overprinted on Type -1.

Type 1 : These sediments occur on the seabed predominantly all over the surveyed area in small patches except near the shore line where exposures of basaltic and lateritic rocks can be seen.

Type 2 : Medium to high reflective lineations i.e. sand waves are found distinctly all along the Channel in a E-W trend between Eastings 368800 & 370400.

Type 3 : Highly reflective surface represents weathered lateritic and basaltic rock exposures over which silty clay and fine sands are deposited. These are found all along the shoreline.

Type 4 : Sand ripples occur in the middle of the surveyed corridor and are overprinted on Type-1 sediments.

Apart from this no other significant features / items of debris were found within the survey corridor which could be hazardous to the proposed dredging operations.

The shallow geological successions within the window examined by the analogue data in the surveyed area can be described as follows:

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Consultancy Services for Preparation of Feasibility study for Development of Waterfront West of Breakwater at Mormugao Port, Goa

Mir – Transystems Consortium

Unit - 1 : Unit - 2 : Unit - 3 :

Unconsolidated & cohesive silty clays (occurs as veneer all along the survey area) Fine to medium sand (occurs predominantly in the northwest quadrant of the survey area) Comprise highly weathered bedrock (lateritic and basaltic rocks) admixed with compact silty clay (occurs as along the survey area) whose base cannot be identifiable from the survey records

No anomalies associated with magnetic objects were recorded within the site survey corridor.

Ten drop cores/grab samples were collected covering whole survey area and they confirm the geophysical survey results.

Deliverables ONE set of Final report / charts were to be submitted to client within 2 weeks after demobilization of field survey.

The final charts in 1:2000 scale to be prepared depicting the following: - Bathymetry & Contours - Seabed Features - Seabed & Geological Profiles for representative lines Report text and charts were to cover the following: ?? Summary of results ?? Description of survey methods, procedures, equipment and instrument calibration data. ?? Bathymetry chart, scale 1: 2000. ?? Identification of any sub -sea obstructions, and seafloor instability. ?? Identification of sub-bottom sediment layer. ?? Presence of any metallic objects, debris on the seafloor. ?? Longitudinal geological profiles of the selected survey run lines covering whole survey area. ?? Summary of field activity report. ?? Soil data results ?? General conclusions and recommendations as per tender requirement.

QA/QC Procedures for Equipment Following calibration methods for different equipment were carried out prior to start of surveys: Positioning system The DGPS positioning system was calibrated at a known location on top of DBM Workshop Building prior to mobilized in the field. DGPS antenna was placed on the specified station and the positions were logged for duration of 30 minutes. The observed co-ordinates were compared with the co-ordinates of the known station.

Echo sounder The dual frequency echo sounder systems were bench checked prior to mobilisation. The outboard could be marked from the base of the transducer shoe at 0.1metre intervals (these marks were used to confirm transducer draft once the arrangement is deployed).

The Bar Check will confirm the marks at a regular interval of one meter and that the marks are readily identifiable. The Echo sounder was interfaced to the Navigation and Data Logging computer to confirm that the digitization of depths is operational.

Portable transducers were installed rigidly to a bracket at suitable location on the survey vessel. These were at sufficient depth so that it should not experience the turbulence and

Mir – Transystems Consortium

aeration when the vessel steams at survey speed. The depth of the transducer below waterline was ascertained by reference to present marks on the pole.

Prior to commencing survey works, the Echosounder was calibrated against a barcheck.

The procedure is to confirm the following constants: Tx = To establish index error (combined effect of transducer depth and delays in the recorder) Vp = To confirm velocity of propagation of sound in saline water.

With the vessel standstill in the waters, the Bar was lowered to at least 2m below the transducer and the nearest mark on the chain set at the water line. Once the transmission mark is set the apparent depth of the transducer were noted on the analogue record and recorded in the deck log for future reference. Velocity of propagation of acoustic wave in water column was assumed to be 1530m/sec. The Bar was lowered at regular intervals to the maximum practical depth. The bar was allowed to settle at each depth. On recording the maximum depth the Bar was similarly stepped back to the surface. The digitized depths were also checked during the Bar calibration.

Side scan sonar SSS sonar was dry and wet tested in the survey area prior to deployment on a survey line.

Sub bottom profiler Sub bottom profiler was dry and wet tested in the survey area prior to deployment on a survey line.

Data reduction and presentation The system was operated following recommended manufacturer procedures. The vertical paper scale was set at 1:100 and the appropriate phases were selected to display the seabed (and the heave compensator trace) at all times. Transducer offset were logged and applied during subsequent processing. Event marks corresponding to position fixes were generated automatically from the on-line navigation computer interface, and passed to the analogue recorder at a regular interval. Prior to processing, the data files were backed up.

The essential Hydrographic data thus obtained were tide corrected. Bathymetry data were reduced to chart datum-using observed tides provided by the client. Af ter applying the tidal corrections, crosschecks were carried out between the bathymetry at all tie-in points. The bathymetry was charted in decimal notation to the nearest one decimal place.

The offsets of the echo sounder transducer from central referenc e point (GPS Antenna) on the survey vessel were recorded for the following: •

dredging & installation of operations. Double coverage and beam angle shall be such that no blind zones exist in the designated survey areas.

The graphic recorder and data processing system included dual sweep facility. The system was capable of depicting the sonar images corrected for distortions due to tow fish height and vessel speed and at a scale, which clearly displays the resolution of the system.

The width of the sea-floor sonar image for each recording channel is not being less than 10 centimeters. Image correcting systems incorporated a continuous profile display of tow fish height as part of the display format.

The sonar data processing unit and graphic recorder unit(s) were interfaced to the survey computer to accept the following: a) Fix mark and identifiers generated synchronously with the logging of position data. b) Smoothed vessel speed data.

Sufficient tow cable lengths were provided to permit towing of the sonar fish at a maximum height above seabed in all parts of the survey area. The available cable length was normally be expected to exceed three times the maximum expected water depth in the survey area.

All tow cables were measured and marked at regular intervals for lay back determination.

The side scan sonar sensor design towing characteristics, cable and vessel tow point were selected to ensure the towed fish was adequately decoupled from any vessel pitching and rolling motion. All sonar data and associated fix mark and fix number information were stored, permanently, on an electronic medium.

Prior to acceptance of equipment, and at any other time requested by the Company Representative, the system was thoroughly tested. Verification tests included, but not be limited to: a) In water testing of the sonar tow fish and cable connectors. b) Cross-talk evaluation by rub test. c) Transducer output functionality tests. d) Interfacing verifications. e) Graphic recorder performance tests.

Wherever possible DBM also verified the performance of the side scan sonar system, in the area of operations, as part of mobilisation acceptance trials, using “know n” seabed installations or features as test targets.

The 272TD towfish carries two 100 KHz and 500 KHz transducers mounted on either side.

The acoustic beam emitted from each transducer has a horizontal beam angle of 1 degree and a vertical beam of 40 degrees tilted at 10 degrees below the horizontal. This configuration enables reflected signals to be recorded from contacts as far as 500 metres abeam, subject to the range selected.

Side scan sonar was operated at a range scale of 100 metres either side th rough out the survey. The maximum towing speed did not exceed 5-6 kmph (3 knots). The records

Shallow soil sampling Gravity corer having 3 m barrel fitted with an interval PVC liner and a cutting shoe at the bottom was deployed for collecting soil samples. In case of sands, a core catcher was provided in side the shoe to assist retention of the sample during retrieval of the sampler.

Soil samples were collected at 10 specified locations covering whole survey area. The locations of the samples were determined by the on-board interpretation of the geophysical records and as specified by the client. In choosing the proposed sample locations, consideration was given to areas of interest, apparent change in surface compositions and areas where a consistent sub-bottom could be investigated by a single sample. Samples were collected in such a way that spacing between sample locations was such that different types of strata encountered with in the survey area were covered.

At location where sand with shell fragments/gravel is encountered and gravity corer refuses to penetrate the seafloor on repeated attempts, grab samples were collected.

Soil sample were extruded in the field and carefully examined and visually classified on board the vessel. Retrieved samples were tested in the on-board laboratory for classification purposes and for broad assessment of strength. All the samples covering all types of sedimentary strata encountered along the surveyed corridor were sealed and carefully packed for transportation to onshore laboratory for additional examination and testing.

• Recovery Length • In-site Vane shear test • In-site pocket penetrometer test Pre plots/run-in-plots Survey lines were planned as discussed in the scope of work and pre-plots for the area was prepared prior to commencement of survey.

The pre-plots were run on the computer while doing the survey lines. Any deviation from the prefixed lines was flashed on the display along with the necessary course corrections to be made to adhere to the prefixed line. This enabled the Navigator to guide the vessel to the prefixed survey line all the times.

Based on this examination an interpretation was made of the shallow geology with emphasis on the identification of conditions potentially hazardous to installation of seabed structures or dredging operation.

Detailed results General M/s. MORMUGAO PORT TRUST GOA , intended to carryout Sub bottom profiling survey for the area west of break water off Goa for conducting the feasibility of dredging operation. This document details the final report on sub bottom profiling survey carried out

by DBM GEOTECHNICS AND CONSTRUCTIONS PVT. LTD., MUMBAI. These survey services comprise of the provision of suitable personnel and equipment in order to obtain, interpret and report on bathymetry, morphological and shallow stratigraphy within the survey corridors. Survey lines were spaced 100m intervals in North–South direction and cross lines were spaced at 200m interval in East-West direction. Echo sounder, Side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiler system were deployed for carrying out surveys. Side scan sonar was operated with range scale of 100m either side of survey line. Gravity corer was used for collection of soil samples Observed tides at Goa were used to reduce raw water depth to chart datum.

Surveys were carried out between 16th Feb and 18 th Feb 2009.

Quality control, processing and preliminary data interpretation were undertaken at the site and on-board the survey boat during the operations, ensuring that the survey specifications were fully met with.

Horizontal control Position for the vessel during the survey was provided by LEICA MX 421 combined beacon receiver system. Differential correction signals were received on-board during survey operations continuously from the nearest DGPS beacon reference station (DGLL Station) in the survey area.

Vertical control Observed tides of Goa were provided by the client and same was used for reducing the raw water depth to chart datum (See Appendix “D” for tidal reading and Graphs) Bathymetry The following text should be read in conjunction with Work Order No.CE/WKS-756/5996/dated 31.01.09/1153 and annotated data examples placed at AppendixG. All water depths mentioned in the following paragraphs refer to chart datum.

General bathymetry within the survey area shows smooth seabed gently sloping towards Northwest gradually. Maximum depth in the survey area is 14.8 m on the NW corner of the survey area and minimum depth is 2.5 mtrs near SW corner of the survey area. From shoreline up to distance of 250 mtrs undulated seabed is recorded and depth varying from 2.5 mtrs to 9.8 mtrs. Remaining survey area is recorded as smooth seabed depth varying from 9.1 mtrs to 14.8 mtrs. Bathymetry along the breakwater is recorded 4.6 mtrs and maximum is 10. 7 mtrs. General trend of the contour runs from Northeast to Southwest and the depth reaches to 10 mtrs within distance of 250 mtrs from shoreline.

No other bathymetric anomalies such as coral outcrops, sub marine channels, blow out craters etc were recorded at any point within the survey corridor.

Seabed features The following text should be read in conjunction with Work Order No.CE/WKS-756/5996 dated 31.01.09 /1154 and annotated data examples placed at Appendix F. The distribution of seabed features and the nature of the surficial cover is primiarily determined through the examination of side scan sonar data acquired. Gravity cores and other geotechnical information exists for the survey area to compare the analogue survey results with the physical soil samples and statements on sediment texture are, therefore, interpretative. Hence, qualitative analysis of the sediments is based on the reflectivities of the surficial sediments to 100 kHz sonar frequency.

Additionally, appropriate reference to the echo sounder & sub-bottom profiler data sets within the survey corridor.

In general, Side scan sonar reveals an almost a flat seabed with varying reflectivity as follows: Type 1 : Low reflective sediments (Silty clays) Type 2 : Medium to high reflective lineations (Sand waves) T ype 3: Highly reflective surface (Weathered lateritic bed rock overprinted by fine sands) Type 4 : Sand ripples overprinted on Type-1.

Type 1: These sediments occur on the seabed predominantly all over the surveyed area in small patches except near the shore line where exposures of basaltic and lateritic rocks can be seen. Type-1 is interpreted to comprise of fine silty clays.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Consultancy Services for Preparation of Feasibility study for Development of Waterfront West of Breakwater at Mormugao Port, Goa

Mir – Transystems Consortium

Type 2: Medium to high reflective lineations i.e. sand waves are found distinctly all along the Channel in a E-W trend between Eastings 368800 & 370400.

Type 3: Highly reflective surface represents weathered lateritic and basaltic rock exposures over which silty clay and fine sands are deposited. These are found all along the shoreline.

Type 4: Sand ripples occur in the middle of the surveyed corridor and are overprinted on Type -1 sediments.

Sand ripples are interpreted to be aligned in almost East-West direction indicating the predominant bottom current sense in North -South direction. The presence of sand ripples can be an evidence of an active sedimentary regime in which strong tidal currents erode, transport and then deposit sediments.

Apart from this no other significant features / items of debris were found within the survey corridor which could be hazardous to the proposed dredging operations.

Shallow startigraphy The following text should be read in conjunction with Work Order No.CE/WKS-756/5996 dated 31.01.09/1155 and annotated data examples placed at Appendix G. For the purpose of analogue data interpretation an assumed sound velocity of acoustic propagation of 1600m/sec has been adopted for the conversions of two way travel time to depth. Seabed & interpreted geological profiles have been produced for one centerline passing through the survey area and two transverse lines to cover the whole survey area.

The sub-bottom profiler data, recorded at a sweep rate of 50 m/sec, was used to examine the shallow sub-surface stratigraphy. Penetration of the sub bottom profiler was achieved up to a depth of about 20 metres sub seabed or upto to 1 st seabed multiple to allow an accurate assessment of shallow geology within the geophysical survey corridor. The limit of recording reached before the seabed multiple is encountered effectively limiting usable data below this depth and obscuring further delineation of layers.

Generally noise free coherent data is recorded to the limit of recording.

All sedimentary properties defined in relevant sections below are based on assessment of the recorded acoustic characteristics of the material along with interpreted sedimentary structures. Additionally, gravity core sampling and other geotechnical information, appropriate reference to the echo sounder, side scan data sets within the survey corridor was carried out as necessary.

The shallow sedimentary sequence within the surveyed area indicates formation of beach deposits. The stratigraphic sequence within the survey area indicates primarily sands with minor proportions of silt / clay.

Unit -1 is the uppermost and parallel reflector unit identified within the surveyed corridor occurring all along the survey area. Sediments pattern indicate an acoustically transparent veneer of surficial layer at places within the corridor interpreted to comprise of predominantly unconsolidated silty clay. Based on the internal acoustics character of the sediments and the sediment sampling [gravity coring], delineation of Unit-2 and Unit-3 has been done.

In the middle of the surveyed area parallel bedded homogenous sediments of low to medium acoustic impedance to the seismic energy formed rhythmically with the seabed changes are recorded and are interpreted as fine silty clay overprinted by deposits of fine to medium sands. This layer occurs predominantly in the northwest quadrant of the survey area and is designated as Unit-2. Average thickness of this Unit-2 sediment is about 0.8 metres.

Underlain by Unit-2 sediments is Unit-3 which is interpreted to comprise highly weathered bedrock (lateritic and basaltic rocks) admixed with compact silty clay with density increasing with depth. This is the deepest layer discernible from the records. Base of this layer is not discernible from the records due to strong masking and also due to onset of 1st multiple obscuring further delineation of layers, if any, in shallow waters. This unit is recorded all along the survey areas. From drop core sampling it is observed that this is highly weathered.

No anomalies associated with shallow gas were evident from the sub-bottom profiler survey records.

Shallow soil sampling Ten drop cores/grab samples were collected covering whole survey area. Visual analysis (colour & type of soil) and shear strength parameters (with Torvane and Pocket Penetrometer) were carried out in-site on-board the vessel as soon as the sample is recovered. Out of these 6 representative samples were sent to the laboratory for further analysis. Their detailed on-board analysis is placed at Appendix C and laboratory analysis at Appendix D
