Inauguration of Extension of Naval Jetty Phase-II at Naval Wharf

New Delhi: 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 Tuesday.

Rear Admiral Suraj Berry, Chief of Staff, HQ Andaman and Nicobar Command and TN Krishnamoorthy, Chief Engineer, Andaman and Lakshadweep Harbour Works were present on the occasion.

According to the Ministry of Defence, the 230-meter-long jetty is one of the larger marine infrastructure projects being undertaken at Andaman and Nicobar Command both in terms of magnitude and technical complexity. The jetty will enable mooring alongside of the Floating Dock and will significantly boost the ship berthing and maintenance capability of the Tri Service Command. The project was completed within stringent timelines of just about three years despite restrictions due to the nationwide Covid-19 lockdown in 2020.
