CSR Barge is a high-capacity 2,000 metric tonne vessel designed for the efficient transport of iron ore from Goa’s mineral-rich interiors to the open sea via the Mandovi River, one of the region’s most active and historically significant trade routes. Goa, once exporting over 50 million tonnes of iron ore annually, continues to be a vital hub for mineral logistics as mining activities resume.

By leveraging the state’s inland waterways, CSR Barge offers a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional road and rail transport, reducing logistics costs by up to 30% and lowering carbon emissions. The vessel supports decongestion of public infrastructure and aligns with national initiatives like Sagarmala and Jal Marg Vikas, which promote multimodal transport and maritime trade.

With expertise in both mining and logistics, CSR Barge strengthens the critical supply chain between inland extraction zones and deep-sea export routes, contributing to India’s evolving mineral export economy.
