Gopalpur: Gopalpur Port is undergoing major expansion. Over 1000 workmen and significant onshore and off shore equipment have been deployed and continuous round-the-clock activity is underway.
The port neither has nor is designed for passenger movement. In line with its policy of international best practice in safety and security, J.M. Baxi & Travel Link Tour Operator were informed well in advance about the ports inability to ensure passenger’s safety. M/S Baxi was accordingly advised to make safe alternative plans for the international visitors, a press release said.
Factors such as inadequate facility for safe landing of passengers, ongoing construction activities, and limited immigration facilities would have been unacceptable to port management as well Indian government and may have reflected poorly on Indian tourism, it added.
