Sarbananda Sonowal visits proposed site of Major Harbour at Atlanta Bay, in Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Sarbananda Sonowal concluded his two-day visit of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands by visiting Atlanta Bay near Diglipur in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Currently a jetty with 5 m draft is serving for berthing of inter-island vessels of 4.00m draft. Considering the strategic location and other facilities available, a Bulk Cargo transshipment hub can be developed in Atlanta Bay. The feasibility study for developing Atlanta bay major Harbour is under process.
