- Coastal Connection from Navlakhi and Jamnagar to kandla and Mundra by barge services to reduce the road movement as road movement is 180 KMS. Whereas by sea its just 45 K.Miles and at one go barge can carry upto 70 containers which will reduce the pollution on road and will be more cost effective.
