The collaboration will involve sharing expertise in design, technology, and maintenance to create an educational and recreational space utilizing the latest technology.
The Government of Gujarat has allocated 400 acres in Saragwala village for the NMHC, with phase 1A already more than 55% complete. The complex is expected to open to the public next year.
The complex will include:
The NMHC will also focus on promoting international tourism centered around maritime heritage and will include a Marine Heritage and Conservation Laboratory.
This project not only aims to preserve maritime history but also to foster greater understanding and strategic cooperation between India and Vietnam, setting the stage for future cultural exchanges.
