Construction of an LNG import terminal in the new port at Hazira started in April 2002. The LNG terminal will initially handle about 2.0 Mtpa (Phase 1A), expanding to a long-term throughput of 10.0 Mtpa. Studies are ongoing for the development of non-LNG cargo terminals in the port (Phase II). The LNG terminal is situated in the inter-tidal zone directly west of the forest boundary line. Number of LNG berths: - 1, Minimum depth on berth- 13 m CD. Approach channel: An entrance channel connects the port with the deep water of the Sutherland Channel.
