In addition, LDPL handles a total of 10 million tons of bulk per annum with ten cranes, the majority of cargo being coal and iron ore, ensuring a reliable supply to power stations and steelworks.

ALBA has also been awarded two 30 years concession contracts to build and operate terminals in ports of Tuticorin and Vizag. These two projects are to be commissioned in 2013. They will have a respective capacity of 14 Mmtpa and 6 Mmtpa, mostly coal. The entire spectrum of logistical services will be available to offer an integrated-package to port users.
