6.4. FEASIBILITY OF ANCILLARY INDUSTRIES
Figure 82: Traffic Projections
Creation of a major hub port also creates the opportunity to develop allied industries around the port. This would
lead in creation of more jobs and will provide a major boost to the local economy. The possible industries
include ancillary industries to support shipping activities, shipping related services and other industries that can
develop in proximity to the port area. The following figure lists down the possible allied industries.
