Reduction in permissible beam

05 Nov 2024 / Chennai, India

Due to gradual weakening of the retention structures, the western wall of the Jawahar Dock entrance channel is partially blocked and, as a result, the maximum allowable beam of vessels entering JD berths has been limited to 28 metres.

Measures are being taken by the port to rectify the same.
