First ferry to be handed over to KMRL by month-end for conducting trial runs
The first batch of four Water Metro ferries, being built at the Cochin Shipyard, is getting ready for commercial operations from the year-end, and December 25 has been set as the tentative target for the launch, Loknath Behera, Managing Director of Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL), has said. The ferries will kick off operations in the Vypin-Bolghatty-High Court-Eloor-Cheranalloor corridor among other routes. The contracting firm has been directed to complete work on jetties at different locales, including at Fort Kochi, since the Ernakulam-Fort Kochi route is considered the highest-in-demand route. Among them, the High Court Jetty would be the biggest and the most important of the lot, Mr. Behera told The Hindu.More Related News
