Ongoing Sagarmala Projects in
Andaman & Nicobar Islands
Sea Route to Baratang
The alternate sea route to Baratang is being
developed in Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The
total cost of the project is Rs. 45.16 Cr. The alternate
sea route will ensure improved connectivity to the
mainland. It will help in promoting tourism without
disturbing the tribal land, and enable fishermen to
engage in backwater fishing.
Extension of Wharf at HopeTown,
Port Blair
The wharf at Hope Town in Port Blair is being extended
with investments worth Rs. 17.49 Cr. The wharf is
used primarily by the Indian Oil Corporation for
discharging LPG and other petroleum products.
The extension of the jetty from 140m to 200m will
allow berthing of bigger vessels of 160m length. This
will ensure easy and abundant availability of LPG
cylinders in the area and reduce logistics costs.
