The monorail track system will transport containers on a 5.6 km elevated track between the old and new ports, avoiding traffic congestion in the surrounding areas, according to local media reports. The system's capacity was not revealed. It would be the world's first monorail built for container transport.
Both state owned companies have completed a feasibility study covering financial, commercial, technical and legal aspects of the project and construction will begin in the next 12 months.
