Radio Remote Control Grabs (RRCGs) have become integral to bulk material handling operations across Indian ports, enhancing efficiency and safety. Here’s an overview of their deployment and the materials they handle:
๐ Deployment of RRCGs at Major Indian Ports
| Port | Estimated Working RRCGs | Primary Materials Handled |
| Mundra Port | 25โ30 | Coal, fertilizers, salt, iron ore |
| Paradip Port | 20โ25 | Coal, iron ore, fertilizers |
| Kandla (Deendayal) | 15โ20 | Coal, bauxite, cement, fertilizers |
| Haldia Dock Complex | 10โ15 | Coal, iron ore, limestone |
| Bedi Port | 8โ10 | Coal, limestone, pet coke, fertilizers |
| Mormugao Port | 5โ8 | Iron ore, coal |
| Kamarajar (Ennore) | 5โ7 | Coal, iron ore |
| Gangavaram Port | 5โ7 | Coal, iron ore |
| Visakhapatnam Port | 5โ6 | Coal, iron ore, alumina |
| Dahej Port | 4โ5 | Coal, fertilizers, agri-products |
Note: These figures are approximate estimates based on available & collected data and industry insights.
โ๏ธ Materials Commonly Handled by RRCGs
RRCGs are versatile and handle a variety of bulk materials, including:
- Coal
- Iron ore
- Limestone
- Bauxite
- Fertilizers
- Cement clinker
- Salt
- Pet coke
- Agricultural commodities
๐ Efficiency and Operational Advantages
RRCGs offer several benefits that enhance port operations:
Continuous Operation: Designed for 24/7 usage without the need for external power sources.
- Battery Efficiency: Operates on 24V DC power from two 12V batteries, with a single charge lasting approximately 7โ8 days.
- High Throughput: Capable of handling large volumes efficiently, reducing vessel turnaround time.
- Safety: Wireless operation minimizes the need for personnel in hazardous zones.
- Adaptability: Suitable for various materials and vessel types, enhancing operational flexibility.
๐ Growth in Bulk Material Handling
Indian ports have seen a significant increase in bulk cargo handling:
- In May 2024, major Indian ports handled 72.04 million tonnes of cargo, marking a 3.75% year-on-year increase. (Data Source: Metalogic)
The adoption of RRCGs has contributed to this growth by improving handling efficiency and reducing operational delays.
