As a part of long term strategies to build adequate infrastructure so as to be able to offer a very competitive tariff, Kandla port has now plans to build an oil jetty to handle liquid cargo and a bunkering terminal at Old Kandla. The plan is to be executed on Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT) basis, under Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) mode. The PPP is a proven mode which has been adopted by the governments also when a very huge investment is involved, a strategy which has come to stay for the good. The long term strategy of Kandla port includes deepening the channel so that it can handle vessels up to 14 meters draft and installation of 8 ELL cranes of 20\25 tonnes capacity. With their sustained efforts, Kandla port will emerge, as its Chairman Dr.P.D.Vaghela IAS, has described it in its official website,”as a vibrant, world-class, multi-cargo port… making Kandla the driver of economic growth in the region”.
