Port Blair, Aug 8: The passenger shipping services provided by A&N Administration predominantly plays pivotal role, in passenger transshipment as well as towards transshipment of essential commodities/produces, to the far flung Inhabited Islands in the archipelago of A&N Islands.
The cargo enabled passenger vessels of A&N Administration, although, carries various agricultural and fisheries products from the local farmers/traders to Port Blair, however, these vessels were completely barred from transhipment of Copra as the product falls under the category of dangerous cargo. Whereas, the tribal and other habitant community of Nancowry and Great Nicobar Island are almost entirely dependent on exports of Copra as this cash crop is reported to be their main source of their income. Due to non-availability of suitable mode for transhipment, the farmers/ tribal community are compelled to bear heavy loss for not being able to sell their Copra product suitably in Port Blair/ Mainland markets.
