Work on cruise terminal in Vizag to begin soon
The Hindu
Environmental clearance expected by month-end
The construction of a ‘cruise terminal’ at the Visakhapatnam Port is expected to begin soon with the Navy issuing the NOC recently and the clearance by the AP State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (AP SEIAA) expected by the end of the month. A world-class cruise terminal, proposed nearly two years ago to tap the immense tourism potential of the Visakhapatnam region, could not be started due to a delay in the issuance of mandatory clearances. The original plan was to construct the berth at an estimated cost of ₹55 crore and the cruise terminal building at ₹22 crore, shared equally by the Central Tourism Department and the Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT).
