The Andaman
Lakshadweep Harbour Works (ALHW) was set up by the Ministry
of Surface transport in October 1965 and entrusted with the
responsibility of formulating and implementing the programmes of the
Government for providing Ports and Harbour structures including allied
facilities in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep. A
well-knit and coordinated Port/ Shipping system plays an important role
in the sustained growth of the Islands. The need for Ports became more
pronounced in these Islands in view of the accelerated development
programs proposed by the Government during the sixties. The
infrastructure, therefore, had to be fully planned properly and in
advance. The history of Port development in these Islands dates back as
early as 1956 when experts havelaid the foundation for development of
Port facilities by the Andaman Lakshadweep Harbour works in later
dates.
