The passengers are very much interested to see various places in Chennai city like St Fort George Museum, Santhome Cathedral, Kapaleeswarar Temple, Dakshin Chitra etc.
The chairman of Chennai port authority, Mr Sunil Paliwal spoke about the importance of the port and its role in promoting international tourism in India. He added that both Central as well as the state governments have undertaken various facilitating measures. He hinted that the Vessel Agent GAC Shipping India Pvt Limited and other agencies have also played their part effectively.
