The Minister said earlier decided to allow ships only after completing an 800-meter-long berthing facility at the port. But now we decided  to commission the first phase upon  completion of the 400-meter berth as almost  all  the big container vessels are 400 meters long.  https://youtu.be/zikmeUYmt3c
