Sarbananda Sonowal, the Union Minister for Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, paid a visit to the planned International Container Transhipment Port (ICTP) location in Great Nicobar Island’s Galathea Bay on Thursday. Along with top officials, he examined the project’s progress and held discussions on the implementation schedule and technique with stakeholders and locals.
After an aerial visit, Sonowal said, “This project will be a major landmark in developing India into a self-assured and self-reliant nation, and will support the economic development of the country. The Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways is continually striving to fulfil the grand vision of making a New India as envisaged by our visionary Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
Sonowal also explored the tourism potential of Indira Point, the southernmost point of India’s territory at the Great Nicobar Islands. He directed officials to consider developing the Indira Point area as a tourism destination, with necessary amenities and facilities.
During the visit, Sonowal reviewed the progress of the Campbell Bay Port project, constructed at a cost of about Rs 17 crore. The extension of the jetty by 50 meters aims to facilitate the berthing of larger vessels, allowing for safer berthing and increasing port capacity.
On completion of the project, vessels 150 metres long will be able to berth, which will provide more passenger and cargo movement between Great Nicobar and other islands. This extension also will facilitate double berthing, which will add for double berthing which will add the port capacity.
