Navy joins harbour facility expansion project to commence SL - India ferry service
The Navy has commenced facility expansion of the Kankesanthurai harbor to accommodate more traffic and provide better infrastructure when the ferry service between the port of Kankesanthurai and Pondicherry, India commences.
The Navy has undertaken the construction of a passenger terminal for immigration and customs clearance of people who intend to use this passenger ferry service. Required materials for the construction work are provided by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority.
Presently, a group of 60 naval personnel are engaged in construction of a 1000 square meter passenger terminal, under the supervision of naval civil engineering officers. The construction work of the passenger terminal will be completed soon and thereupon the facility will be handed over to the Sri Lanka Ports Authority for its operational purposes.
