Maritime States were requested by the ministry of shipping, road transport and highways to identify suitable location for setting up of international size shipyards, one each on the East Coast and West Coast of India respectively. In response, the following locations have been suggested by the Maritime States:
The following basic requirements are preferable for setting up of an international size shipyard:
1. The minimum land requirement of 1000 to 1500 acres and waterfront of about 2.5 Kilometers in length
2. Water draft of 10 meter to 12 meters
3. The site location for the proposed shipyards to have good rail and road connectivity;
4. Contiguity to a Major Port situated within the State.
Indian government is planning for setting up two international size shipyards, one on the East Coast and another on the West Coast of India. An international size shipyard may build and repair ships upto the size of Very Large Crude Carrier which has a carrying capacity of 300,000 DWT. The international size shipyard may have at least two and preferably three big dry docks 2 for building and 1 for repair, a quayside length of at least 2.5 kilometers and various support facilities for building and assembly of ships.
Mr T R Baalu minister of shipping, road transport and highways has proposed setting up these shipyards on a public private partnership basis. The minimum land required for the suggested sites was 1,000 to 1,500 acres and 2.5 kilometer waterfront with a draft of 10 to 12 meters apart from desired rail and road connectivity.
