When we reached Ennore major port (Major ports are the one's that are directly under Govt.'s control and minor ports are the one's that are under the control of state board) we were doubtful whether any ships would be available during our visit. Luckily there were 2 ships. One was named Tamil Anna (Poombuhar shipping Corporation) and the other one was from some other country. I dint knew which country it belonged to. But both the ships had Indian Flag. It looks like to whichever destination the ship is traveling, it needs to hoist the destination country's flag in it.
Apart from that there will be an Ensign flag on the ship. Each shipping corporation will have its own ensign flag. one-fourth of this ensign flag should have the shipping company's national flag embedded.
If you could locate the ensign flag without complaining my photographic skills, you obviously deserve a chocolate ;)The Tamil Anna ship was unloading coal into the conveyor track, which directly moves coal to the Thermal power plant at Ennore.
Coal collected from the ship is being dropped into the conveyor track
View of Conveyor track from signal stationThe other ship was loading iron ore from a barge. Since the barge was on the other side we couldn't see it :( But we were able to see the cranes lifting the iron ore from the barge and loading it into the ship.
Machine dropping the iron ore into the shipNext we moved to the signal station. The control room was at 6th floor. As it was too small and was covered with glass windows couldn't take snaps from there. Came back to 2nd floor and took few snaps :)
Signal StationWhen we came back from signal station time was 1 PM. So our next target was for lunch. Lunch was arranged by L&T [L&T Shipbuilding. Bus arrangement was also provided by them only :)]. Imagine having lunch @ seashore at a pleasant climate. That too Saravana Bhavan's food brought specially for us (They had arranged to get it there at ard 12 PM). Haiyooooo.. The food was like devamirtham !;) As per Aalavandhan's request here goes the menu - Chappathi with chenna, sweet pongal, sambar rice, tamarind rice, curd rice, potato chips, pickle and aalo fry. Finally they also provided juices Pepsi/Miranda/7-up of our choice. Post lunch, we spent some time at the sea shore enjoying nature :)
The building and the bridge u see in the left is the water pump that takes sea water to the CPCL's (Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd.) Desalination plant (Looks like they already have a desalination plant for their own usage)
Alaiyae sitralaiyae karai vandhu vandhu pogum alaiyae.. ennai thoduvaai medhuvaai padarvaai endraal nuraiyaai karaiyum alaiyae... Then we started our journey towards our next location - Ennore Minor port.
To be continued..
