Over a dozen consultancy firms are believed to have responded to the tender floated by the Shipping Ministry inviting bids for the preparation of a feasibility report for a deep-sea port in West Bengal. The firms are from the US, Europe and China, it is learnt. It may be noted that Rs 10 crore was allocated in this Budget for the preparation of the feasibility report for the deep-sea port.

Various bidders recently made presentations in Kolkata to a high-level team from the Shipping Ministry, comprising the Additional Secretary, the Joint Secretary and other officials as also the Chairman of Kolkata Port Trust and the Secretary, Department of Commerce and Industry, West Bengal Government.

The selected consultant, or a consortium, , will have not only to prepare the report but also associate itself with the project right from the beginning to the commissioning.
