Dry Cargo O&M

The Navin Group Dry Cargo O&M Division delivers integrated operations and maintenance solutions for bulk and break-bulk facilities across industries. Whether at ports, coal plants, cement terminals, steel yards, fertilizer hubs, or mining projects, we provide the manpower, equipment, and systems to ensure smooth movement of dry commodities from vessel, yard, or stockpile to dispatch.

Our expertise spans the full cycle of bulk operations — stevedoring, internal transfers, yard management, dispatch, and conveyor belt handling — combined with preventive and corrective maintenance of all associated equipment. This dual capability makes Navin Group a trusted partner for clients seeking high productivity, safety, and SLA-driven performance at scale.

We handle both mechanized and non-mechanized operations, tailoring our approach to client infrastructure and cargo requirements.

Services

Planning & Cargo Coordination

We manage the planning cycle for dry cargo movement, including berthing plans at ports, shift planning in plants, and cargo scheduling at yards. Our role covers resource allocation, stakeholder coordination, and performance monitoring.

  • Vessel berthing and discharge planning at ports
  • Cargo scheduling at power plants, cement, and steel yards
  • Coordination with shipping lines, suppliers, and buyers
  • Manpower shift planning and equipment allocation

Stevedoring & Cargo Discharge

For ports and jetties, our stevedoring teams manage efficient vessel unloading cycles, while in plants and mines we oversee unloading from rail wagons, barges, and trucks. Safety and speed are prioritized to reduce delays and optimize flow.

  • Vessel discharge with grabs, cranes, and conveyors
  • Wagon unloading and hopper management at coal/cement plants
  • Truck unloading for steel and fertilizer yards
  • SLA-driven performance to minimize turnaround

Stockyard Management & Internal Transfers

Efficient stockpile management is critical for bulk throughput. We handle stacking, reclaiming, heaping, and segregation using mechanized equipment or manual operations as per client requirements. Internal haulage is executed via payloaders, dumpers, and conveyors.

  • Organized stockyard stacking & reclaim systems
  • Cross-contamination prevention with cargo segregation
  • Internal transfers using payloaders, dumpers, excavators
  • Conveyor belt operation and tower management

Dispatch Operations (Truck & Rail)

We engineer dispatch systems to ensure fast and accurate truck and rail wagon loading. Facilities are operated with calibrated weighbridges and controlled traffic management to eliminate bottlenecks.

  • Wagon loading at coal and steel plants
  • Bulk truck loading at fertilizer and cement terminals
  • Queue management for reduced vehicle turnaround
  • Accurate weight compliance with certified weighbridges

Equipment Operation & Maintenance

We operate and maintain a wide range of bulk handling equipment — from payloaders and excavators to stacker-reclaimers, wagon tipplers, and conveyor belts. Preventive and corrective maintenance programs maximize asset uptime.
  • Payloaders, excavators, bulldozers, stacker-reclaimers
  • Wagon tipplers, hoppers, and conveyor systems
  • Preventive maintenance schedules and inspections
  • OEM coordination, spare parts, and central engineering support

Manpower Deployment & Management

The backbone of bulk O&M is skilled manpower. Navin Group provides operators for all types of equipment along with supervisors, yard managers, and planners. Our KPI and SLA-driven deployment models ensure efficiency and accountability.
  • Certified operators for bulk equipment (payloaders, stackers, tipplers)
  • Supervisors, managers, and planners deployed onsite
  • Flexible manpower models: full plant O&M or section-based contracts
  • Continuous skill training and safety certifications

Mechanized & Non-Mechanized Operations

Depending on infrastructure and client needs, Navin Group manages both fully mechanized cargo flows (with conveyors, tipplers, stackers) and non-mechanized operations (manual labor with forklifts, loaders, and handlings teams).
  • Mechanized handling for high-volume bulk terminals
  • Non-mechanized solutions for smaller yards or temporary projects
  • Hybrid models integrating manpower with mechanized systems

Reporting & SLA Performance

We align with client reporting systems while offering centralized reporting dashboards to track performance across facilities. KPIs include vessel turnaround time, cargo throughput, equipment uptime, and manpower productivity.
  • Cargo throughput and dispatch cycle reports
  • Vessel TAT and berth productivity (for ports)
  • Equipment uptime and downtime logs
  • Manpower shift counts and SLA adherence
