The Paradip Port Trust, which started handling finished fertilisers, mainly urea, last year after 10 years, has commissioned a urea bagging and stitching machine inside the port warehouse to facilitate the handling and evacuation of the imported product. The machine will undertake bagging and stitching and therefore expedite the despatch of the imported urea in bags. The equipment, costing Rs 30 lakh, has been installed by Orissa Stevedores Ltd, which has signed a contract with Indian Potash Ltd, the importer, for handling some three lakh tonnes of urea per annum for next three years. In 2006-07, the urea throughput at the port was 90,000 tonnes.
