The operational coordination body is mandated to harmonize vessel scheduling, berth allocations, and mechanized rail evacuation protocols for dry bulk minerals across their respective deepwater marine terminals situated along the eastern littoral.</p><p data-path-to-node="3" id="p-rc_14275cc077b27141-231"><span data-path-to-node="3,0">The creation of the joint technical working group represents a pragmatic industrial response to acute railhead congestion, rolling stock shortages, and vessel waiting times that have historically strained the supply of metallurgical coking coal, thermal coal, pulverized coal injection (PCI) coals, limestone, and iron ore to primary blast furnaces, direct-reduced iron units, and power stations across Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh</span><span data-path-to-node="3,1"><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><source-footnote _nghost-ng-c4165854812="" class="ng-star-inserted"><sup _ngcontent-ng-c4165854812="" class="superscript"><!----></sup></source-footnote><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----></span><span data-path-to-node="3,2">.
