sscp will not help shipping industry also becouse this project aims for improvement of tuticorin port.but it will not help tuti becouse its major imports like copper ore,coal,fertilise oil all come from quite opposite direction and ships that bring do not need to use sscp canal. in the case of exports which is v small in bulk like salt,maize,garnet sand very few shipments but nowadays mostly containerised with tranship- ment via colombo which serve for all ports in middle east,africa,south east asia.due to proxmity with geographical location,colombo is well placed than tuticorin.so in export also it will not serve purpose.for third country shipments,all ships tonnages are nowadays more than 30,000 mts for which draft of 14 metres depth is required for canals.now sscp aim at 12 metres that too it requires every year dredging frequently to remove mud depositing in narrow canal.sscp was good before 10 years and now it is totally unviable project of wasting public funds.dmk wants to help LTTE,to reduce colomo importance economicaly,to make money in sscp contracts,to make continous money in every year dredging,to help land maffias in east coast who had invested money to shoot up land prices based on this project they bought.dmk do not bother about lord ram or hindus feelings not care about other states,but only their interest. tsunami will sweep T N and kerala,fishing is destroyed,ecology and marine biology is destroyed and finally it will be like dmks pet project
