As part of an ambitious plan to develop waterways and make the Ganga river navigable, Union transport ministry has recently launched a Rs. 211-cr multi-modal terminal in UP. This hub with rail, road, and waterways connectivity will change the economic landscape of the state and will take the state's growth trajectory to newer highs. The phase 1 of the multi-modal terminal would be commissioned by August 2018. The terminal in question is a part of Rs. 4,200-cr Jal Marg Vikas project, which is to enable commercial navigation of vessels with capacity of 1,500-2,000 DWT Tonnage from Varanasi to Haldia. With the completion of phase 1, the terminal's cargo handling capacity is estimated to be 1.2 Million Tons Per Annum (MTPA). The cargo that will be handled includes- stone chips, cement, food grains, fertilisers, sugar and will also have a road and rail connectivity with proposed links on NH-7 and Jeonathpur Railway Station. It will have facilities such as berthing space for two vessels simultaneously, storage area, transit shed, and parking areas among others.
