The Minister of State for Shipping, Road Transport & Highways and Chemical & Fertilisers, Mr Mansukh L. Mandaviya, has informed that steps have been taken by the government of Maharashtra for the development of Rewas port, Vijaydurg port, Redi port, Vadhavan port, Trombay port and Karanja port through private sector participation. A total of 13 port projects (Rs 410.51 crore) have been sanctioned under Sagarmala for Maharashtra.
Of the 48 non-major ports, which are under the administrative control of the government of Maharashtra, 10 are equipped with modern facilities such as conveyor belts/cranes, etc. and 6 are barge ports. The remaining ports are “Port Limits” where no cargo is handled and they are used for fishing vessels and ferry services only.
