The project will involve dredging and construction of breakwater in design, construction, finance, operation and basic transfer with a total management capacity of 4 million teu (equivalent units of twenty feet) per year in two stages
The enemy of the Port Authority of Voc Port Authority, the external port project of ₹ 7.056, had to be canceled, since it could not attract any prayer for the second time. The tender has been eliminated from the list of warning tenders, according to the sources. It could be restructured, they added.
In December 2024, the Port Authority of Voc in Thothukudi again provided the proposal application (RFP) for the project. The previous tender was canceled due to a bad response: only two (Vedanta and Premier Science and Technology) were applied and both were disqualified. The second time the eligibility criteria were modified to allow greater participation. However, he could not attract sentences.
The project will involve dredging and the construction of breakwater in design, construction, finance, operate and transfer BASIC with a total management capacity of 4 million teu (equivalent units of twenty feet) per year in two stages.
The indicative cost of the project of the first stage of 2 million teu is ₹ 4494 million rupees and implies the development of Terminal 1 of containers (Literas I and II), dredging and construction of breakwaters and other facilities of common projects. The second stage (2 million TEU) will cost ₹ 2561 million rupees for the development of the container terminal-2 (Literas III and IV).
The port needs an outer port with the growing size of the container ships in the last five years, lengths that extend more than 400 my a load capacity of almost 22,000 equivalent units of twenty feet (TEU), were the voices of vow only half of this size.
The mere modernization of the internal port and the optimization of existing bunk beds cannot equip the port to handle large vessels. An outside port is needed to meet future demand, says the detailed report of the project.
