As ports on IMEEC get capacity-boost, Vadhavan port set to be country's biggest on corridor

India has begun mapping tasks to increase the capacity of ports on its western coast as part of its efforts to develop the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC). The construction of the Vadhavan port, the country's largest upcoming greenfield port, is set to begin in December. The port will have a natural draft of 20 metres, allowing it to handle larger vessels and container ships. The IMEEC will connect ports on India's west coast with Fujairah in the UAE. Additionally, a container terminal at Tuna Terka in Kandla will be established to handle more containers.
