Cargo ship services set to resume at Beypore
100-m-long wharf to be built using ₹50-cr Central aid; dredging work to accommodate more vessels to be completed within two months After a year-long lull, the Beypore port is all set to wake up to the hustle and bustle of regular container ship service from Tuesday. Port authorities confirm that Trans Asia, the first container ship after the long interval, will anchor at the port on Tuesday by formally resuming the service. Port officer Ashwini Prathap said the dredging works to accommodate more container vessels at the port would be completed within two months. “The field survey ahead of the dredging process has been completed in the area and we hope to complete the work at a cost of ₹4 crore,” he said. Along with the extension of the existing berth, a dedicated wharf for container vessels too was on the anvil at the port. A Central aid of ₹50 crore would be used for the completion of 100-metre-long dedicated wharf. Steps were underway to complete the works during this fiscal itself, he said.
