Coal Imports
Given the present trend of the Indian market to import coal
for the thermal and cement plants, ESQUIRE SHIPPING & TRADING Pvt. Ltd.
further diversified, to keep pace with the market trends. It started handling and
transportation of coal.
ESQUIRE SHIPPING & TRADING Pvt. Ltd.
successfully handled and
transported 1,50,000 tonnes of steam coal in the ports of Gujrat in the second half of
1997 for the various cement plants in Rajasthan. A major contract was bagged to supply
3,00,000 tonnes of steam coal to MSEB's thermal power plant in 1997.
We are agents for several companies for handling its coal
supplies to various consumers in the country. With the proliferation of a new wave across
the nation for use of imported steam coal for heat generation, coupled with increasing
demand, the company decided to develop a new infrastructure in the vicinity of major users
of steam coal. This facility will be capable of handling 2-3 million tonnes per annum and
10,000 tonnes every day.
Steal Scrap Imports
We added another feature to our cap in performing unique
activities. The company took over a new venture to bring Cape size vessel to Mumbai
harbour with part load of steel scrap and discharge the same by floating a crane in
mid-stream - an activity which was never carried out in any part of the country in
enclosed waters.

In the year 1995-96 due to heavy congestion in all the major
and minor Indian ports, ESQUIRE SHIPPING & TRADING Pvt. Ltd. took
over the responsibility of easing the situation by launching a new minor port of Jakhau
(Kutch), developing it and making it appropriate for handling wheat exports.
ESQUIRE SHIPPING & TRADING Pvt. Ltd..
went into an agreement with some companies to export 1,00,000 mt. tonnes of wheat to
various countries. It successfully executed the contract of wheat and wheat flour exports.
