Significance of Vadhavan Port Project

Mega port status: A mega port is a huge maritime facility that manages large amounts of cargo and can handle very large ships like Capsize vessels. These ports handle at least 300 million metric tones of cargo per year and are crucial hubs for global trade and shipping. It is going to be the first Indian port to begin as a true mega port (300+ MMTPA capacity). Its economic advantages are- a) Lower freight costs per unit with larger volumes. b) Ability to handle a wider range of goods than smaller ports, which are typically focused on dry or bulk cargo like JNPA and Mundra. c) Capacity to host diverse suppliers, industrial complexes, and logistics firms, promoting economies of agglomeration. d) Competition among operators, leading to reduced handling charges. e) Feeding smaller ports in a hub-and-spoke model, where the mega port manages global maritime traffic and distributes cargo to smaller ports.
