Karaikal Port now a deep-draft facility

With its permissible draft now enhanced to 14.5 metres, Karaikal Port has joined the league of deep-draft ports on India's East Coast, as per an APSEZ communique.

This strategic upgrade unlocks: 

* Handling of larger Panamax vessels and Capesize vessels

* Reduced freight costs and faster turnaround for trade communities

* Improved global connectivity for industries across Tamil Nadu and beyond

Backed by robust infrastructure, seamless multimodal connectivity and operational excellence, Karaikal Port is poised to become a Gateway of Growth and an opportunity for Southern India, the communique emphasised.
