Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd<\/a> (APSEZ) has operationalised India\u2019s first Port of Refuge<\/strong>, creating a formal system to handle maritime emergencies and vessels in distress, a move that fills a critical gap in the country\u2019s coastal infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Port of Refuge<\/strong> is a designated safe zone where ships facing emergencies can stabilise conditions, protect crew, and minimise environmental damage. While widely adopted in global maritime economies, India had lacked such a framework despite its strategic location along key international shipping routes and a coastline spanning over 11,000 kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APSEZ has identified Dighi Port<\/strong> on the west coast and Gopalpur Port<\/strong> on the east coast as the initial sites. These locations will support traffic across major corridors including the Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf routes, Bay of Bengal, and the Malacca Strait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facilities will offer maritime safety<\/strong> services such as salvage operations, firefighting, pollution control, and emergency coordination through specialised equipment and trained teams. The initiative is backed by a tripartite agreement involving SMIT Salvage and the Maritime Emergency Response Centre, bringing global expertise into India\u2019s response framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system will also support ships insured under international P&I Clubs, aligning India with global maritime risk standards. Industry experts say this development strengthens India\u2019s ability to respond swiftly to maritime incidents, reducing risks to cargo, environment, and coastal communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For APSEZ<\/a>, which handles nearly 27% of India\u2019s port cargo, the move enhances its positioning as a global-standard logistics operator. The rollout of a structured emergency response<\/strong> mechanism is expected to improve investor confidence in India\u2019s maritime infrastructure while reinforcing its role in global trade networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
