CIAL-owned solar ferry likely on Kochi city-Muziris stretch
The fleet of 11 hop-on hop-off ferries and water taxis in the Muziris region that is spread across Ernakulam and Thrissur districts are being preened up, including with new body graphics to adorn a new look, while four brand new vessels are set to join them, anticipating inflow of heritage enthusiasts and others to the region where historic buildings abound and is said to have been a globally renowned port of yore. Joining the AC vessels that were in operation would be a pair of non-AC hop-on hop-off ferries and another pair of AC water taxis, each of which can carry 24 and six people respectively. The non-AC vessels are being introduced based on popular demand, so that visitors could relish the breeze as they check out locales in Muziris, said P.M. Noushad, MD of Muziris Heritage Project.More Related News
