New Delhi: Essar Projects, the EPC arm of Ruias-led Essar Group, on Sunday said it has constructed and designed the 'roll-on-roll-off' (ro-ro) terminals at both Dahej and Ghogha ports, as part of its Rs 225 crore contract from the Gujarat government.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated the first phase of the Rs 615 crore 'roll-on-roll-off' (ro-ro) ferry service between Ghogha in Saurashtra and Dahej in south Gujarat. The project was awarded by Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) which has executed the ro-ro project, for constructing the ro-ro terminals and supporting onshore infrastructure at Dahej and Ghogha.
Congratulating the GMB on reaching the milestone, Essar Projects said: "A GMB project of national significance, the ro-ro ferry will bring down the travel time between Gujarat's Ghogha and Dahej ports from 7 hours to just 2.5 hours".
