GANDHINAGAR : In a major boost to Gujarat’s maritime infrastructure, APM Terminals Pipavav has signed two significant contracts with L&T GeoStructure and Van Oord India Private Limited for the construction of a new, state-of-the-art liquid jetty at Pipavav Port.

The milestone marks the transformation of commitments made at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2024 into tangible progress. The project aligns closely with the Government of India’s Maritime India Vision 2030 and the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, aiming to enhance port capacity and logistics efficiency.
