Q. International Container Transshipment Port (ICTP), which was recently designated as India's 13th major port, is located in which island?
Answer: Great Nicobar
Notes: The International Container Transshipment Port (ICTP) at Galathea Bay, Great Nicobar Island, is now India's 13th major port. It is strategically located on the East-West international trade route, near key hubs like Singapore, Klang, and Colombo. The port is 40 nautical miles from the Malacca Strait, which handles 35% of global sea trade. ICTP aims to reduce India's dependency on foreign ports, as 75% of India's transshipped cargo is currently handled abroad. It holds great potential as a transshipment hub for cargo from India’s east coast, Bangladesh, and Myanmar.
