History

It was declared as National Waterway No. 2 on 1 September 1988.

Development

Summary

Navigational aid

To provide the safe navigation for various vessels, day navigation marks with bamboos and navigational lights fixed on country boats/beacons have been provided between the Bangladesh Border and Dibrugarh.

Enhancements

In December 2017, the union minister Nitin Gadkari flagged off 2 barges of 200-tonne capacity each carrying a total of 400 tonnes of cement from the Pandu Port to Dhubri Port for a distance of 255 km, resulting in reduction of 300 km of road travel and logistics costs for this Sagarmala project to connect Northeast India and to enhance movement for the Indian Armed Forces by setting up roll on-roll off services, 4 Global Positioning System (DGPS) stations for safe navigation (Dhubri, Jogighopa, Biswanthghat and Dibrugarh) and 12 floating terminal facilities (Hatsingimari, Dhubri, Jogighopa, Pandu Port, Tezpur, Silghat, Biswanath Ghat, Neamati, Sengajan, Bogibil, Dibrugarh/Oakland and Uriumghat, which will be increased). There are 19 National Waterways for the Northeast connectivity.[3]

Economic impact

India and Bangladesh plan to use NW2 as part of the larger Eastern Waterways Grid for economic development purposes.
