Kandla Port Trust is planning to set
up a mega international ship repair and building complex with an estimated cost
of Rs.400 crore.
The port is in the process of inviting
global tenders to develop the facility. The shipyard will have features such as:
- Capacity to repair very large crude
carriers (VLCC) up to 3 lakh dwt and all other types within the range.
- Large back-up area and repair jetty
of length sufficient to cater to the needs of afloat repairs (post
dry-docking and post-launching works)
- Sufficient water depth
