• 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.
• Steel 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.
COMMODITY HANDLING :
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.
