Increasing
the share of coastal shipping and inland navigation in the transport modal mix
is one of the key objectives of the Sagarmala Programme. In order to equip
ports for movement of coastal cargo, the scope of coastal berth scheme has been
expanded and merged with Sagarmala Programme. Under the scheme, the financial
assistance of 50% of project cost is provided to Major Ports/State
Governments for construction of Coastal Berths, Breakwater, mechanization of
coastal berths and capital dredging. Rs. 152 Cr has been released for 16
projects under this scheme. In addition, Cabotage has been relaxed for a
period of 5 years for specialized vessels like RO-RO, RO-PAX etc.
To
augment transhipment capacity in the country, Vizhinjam (Kerala) and Enayam
(Tamil Nadu) are being developed as transhipment ports. Vizhinjam is being
developed as transhipment hub under PPP mode by Government of Kerala with
Viability Gap Funding from Government of India. In principle approval has been
obtained for setting up a Major Port at Enayam and its DPR is under
preparation.
This
information was given by Minister of State for
Shipping, Shri Pon Radhakrishnan in a written reply
to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
