SKS OBO Limited controls 10 110,000deadweight and 1 96,000deadweight Ore-Bulk-Oil (OBO) Carriers. The concept of ships that are able to load both wet and dry cargoes is not new, however it has been refined in recent years to counter the operational shortcomings of earlier generations of such vessel. The criticisms levelled at older generations of OBOs have been answered one by one by the design of the vessels in the SKS fleet. Technical Management of the SKS fleet is handled by V.Ships Norway in Oslo. Commercial Management with Pine Limited in Bermuda, who through an agency agreement have appointed Pelican Shipping Limited in London as their Commercial Managers. KGJS has interests in other shipping companies, of which Gearbulk is probably the most well known. This makes possible certain economies of scale and a pool of knowledge in specific areas, of which SKS is able to take advantage. Both KGJS and CSAV are visionary companies with plans for the future. KGJS had ordered from Hyundai Heavy Industries in Korea a further two OBO carriers of 121,000dwt as well as a number of 160,000dwt Suezmax tankers for delivery during 2003. These will be commercially managed by Pelican Shipping Limited alongside the SKS OBOs.

Tuticorin, India

Tuticorin Port was incorporated in 1974 as the tenth major port of the country. The port is situated about 540 Km South West of Chennai with Sri Lanka on the South-East direction and very close to the East-West International sea routes. Tuticorin port, developed as an artificial deep-sea harbour with 400 hectares of protected water area, has come up as one of the major centre for coastal shipping and serves to the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and parts of Kerala. Tuticorin port, which was the centre for maritime trade and pearl fishery for more than a century, had gone through the hands of Portuguese and Dutch before coming under the control of East India Company of Britain. The British company had developed the natural harbour port and connected it with the Railway. It was declared as a minor anchorage port in 1868. In the pre-independence era, the port had witnessed a sprouting trade by handling a wide range of cargo with the neighbouring countries as well as with other coastal ports of the country. With the changing scenario of maritime trade, the Union Government constructed a new harbour and the port had come up as the 10th Major Port on 11th July, 1974. In 1979, the erstwhile anchorage port / minor port was merged with the newly developed harbour to form an integrated port. The integrated Tuticorin Port presently comprises of two operational wings - 'Zone - A' representing the new Major Port while 'Zone - B' representing the old anchorage port. Future plan With the increasing use of containers in sea trade, Tuticorin Port, having the locational advantages, strives to become the container transhipment hub of South India and accordingly planned to develop the port infrastructure and other port facilities. Deepening of approach channel and harbour basin to accommodate 10.7 metres draught vessels, construction of cargo berth No.-7, augmentation of water supply facilities, construction of shallow water berth at 7.0 metres level are the major projects taken up by the port. The proposed 'Sethu Samudram Ship Canal Project', which envisages cutting a canal for passage of ships from Gulf of Mannar to Palk Straits, would connect the Tuticorin port to the other Indian ports on the East Coast directly. The project is likely to facilitate the development of Tuticorin as a regional hub for South Asia competing with Colombo Port.
