The Aircraft Carrier Dock (ACD) is the largest dock of the lndian Navy measuring a mammoth 281 m in length, 45 m in breadth and 17 m in depth. This dock can accommodate the pride of the lndian Navy, aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya.
The ACD is also the first lndian dry dock built into the sea, thereby conserving premium land space and providing the Navy with 0.5 km of crucial berthing space.
The Director General of Naval Project (DGNP), Mumbai, had awarded HCC the contract to construct the dry dock and to strengthen the associated North and South wharves on April 12, 2010.
