India has begun mapping tasks to increase the capacity of ports on its western coast as part of its efforts to develop the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC). The construction of the Vadhavan port, the country’s largest upcoming greenfield port, is set to begin in December. The port will have a natural draft of 20 metres, allowing it to handle larger vessels and container ships. The IMEEC will connect ports on India’s west coast with Fujairah in the UAE. Additionally, a container terminal at Tuna Terka in Kandla will be established to handle more containers.
