Campbell Bay, 23 Mar 2021
A major Naval project of ‘Extension of Jetty’ at the Naval Wharf was inaugurated by Vice Admiral SR Sarma, Chief of Materiel of Indian Navy, on 22March 2021. Rear Admiral Suraj Berry, Chief of Staff, HQ Andaman and Nicobar Command and Shri TN Krishnamoorthy, Chief Engineer, Andaman & Lakshadweep Harbour Works were present for the event.
The 230 Mtrs long jetty is one of the large marine infrastructure projects being undertaken at Andaman and Nicobar Command both in terms of magnitude and technical complexity. The jetty will enable mooring alongside the Floating Dock and will significantly boost the ship berthing and maintenance capability of the Tri Service Command. The project has been completed within stringent timelines of just about three years despite restrictions due to the nationwide COVID lockdown in 2020.
