The Ministry of Shipping in India is set to commence construction of the Galathea Bay International Trans-shipment Port on the Great Nicobar Island. The finalization of the Detailed Project Report signals the imminent invitation of tenders for the project's construction within the next two to three months. Aligned with Maritime India Vision 2030, the port's strategic location is expected to enhance trade efficiency in the region. The first phase, starting next year, aims to leverage Galathea Bay's advantages, positioning it as a transshipment hub and contributing to the economic and infrastructural development of the Great Nicobar Island. The initiative underscores India's commitment to sustainable maritime practices and economic growth.
