Movement of Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC) from Nearest National Highway Corridors to V.O. Chidambaranar Port (Tuticorin) – Route Feasibility, Infrastructure Constraints & Logistics Assessment
Evaluate the feasibility of transporting Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC), oversized industrial equipment and heavy project cargo from major National Highway corridors to V.O. Chidambaranar Port in Thoothukudi. This specialized logistics study assesses NH-138 and NH-38 connectivity, road geometry, bridge and flyover clearances, turning restrictions, overhead utilities, traffic conditions, trailer maneuverability, port approach infrastructure and critical route risks to support safe, compliant and cost-efficient heavy haulage operations.
