NEW DELHI, MAY 29, 2025: IN a significant boost to maritime infrastructure and seafarer welfare at Deendayal Port Authority (DPA), Kandla, Shantanu Thakur, Minister of State for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, on Wednesday, inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for multiple vital developmental projects at the port.

Speaking at the event, Minister of State for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Shantanu Thakur said, "Under the visionary leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, the maritime sector is entering an era of holistic and inclusive transformation. Today's projects at Deendayal Port Authority are rooted in the spirit of Viksit Bharat @2047 modern, efficient, and people-first." He further added that, "The new Seafarer Centre is not merely infrastructure; it is a tribute to the resilience, dignity, and contribution of India's maritime community. A happy and healthy seafarer is central to a thriving maritime economy." The Minister said, "DPA is the soul of Kutch and a shining example of our commitment to empowering coastal India. By enhancing multimodal connectivity through DFC integration and improving safety and logistics at the port, we are laying the foundation for India's rise as a global maritime powerhouse."

These initiatives are part of the broader vision of Maritime India Vision 2030 and the Amrit Kaal Maritime Roadmap (2047), aimed at building green, resilient, and globally competitive ports while boosting India's coastal economy and trade potential.

The event was graced by Vinodbhai Chavda, Member of Parliament (Kutch-Morbi), Maltiben Maheshwari, MLA (Gandhidham), Sushil Kumar Singh, IRSME, Chairman, DPA, along with senior port officials, stakeholders, and representatives from trade unions.

Key Projects Launched and Inaugurated:

1. Foundation Stone Laying of the New Seafarer Building at Kandla (Cargo Jetty Area)

A modern, international-standard Seafarer Centre will be constructed to provide world-class amenities for seafarers arriving at the port. The facility will include a waiting lounge, shopping area, medical room, storage space, salon, music and yoga zones, gym, café, basketball court, covered swimming pool, and landscaped garden - all designed to create a comfortable and rejuvenating environment for the seafaring community.

2. Foundation Stone Laying for Extension of Railway Line towards Berths 13 to 16

The existing railway infrastructure will be extended by 750 meters to connect Berths 13 to 16 with Kutch Salt Junction. This strategic rail link will enable smoother cargo evacuation and improve long-haul connectivity, especially with the upcoming Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC), ensuring faster and more efficient logistics.

3. Inauguration of Telescopic Gangway at Oil Jetty No. 7 (OJ-7)

A new telescopic gangway has been installed to provide secure and efficient access between vessels and the jetty. This modern vessel access system adheres to OCIMF safety standards and is crucial for facilitating safer operations for crew and port personnel alike.

4. Inauguration of Fire Brigade Station inside the Cargo Jetty Area

A dedicated Fire Brigade Station has been established within the port's operational zone, complete with office space for fire and immigration staff and a 50 KL underground water storage tank. This facility will significantly enhance emergency preparedness and safety at the port. These projects mark a transformative step towards operational excellence, enhanced multimodal logistics, and seafarer-centric ecosystem aligned with global standards.
