Decommissioned Fast Attack Craft, allotted to Port Museum by Navy, placed on a specially arranged platform
The decommissioned Fast Attack Craft (IN FAC) T-81 has finally reached Alappuzha beach.
The vessel, which the Indian Navy has allotted to the Port Museum under the Alappuzha Heritage Project, was brought to its final destination in front of the museum, near the beach, around midnight on a multi-axle trailer. On Saturday morning, the ship was unloaded from the trailer. Later, it was placed on a specially arranged platform on the beach. The vessel’s road journey had earlier met with some obstacles.
After an initial delay, the craft was brought to Kommady in Alappuzha from Thanneermukkom on the trailer earlier this month. However, its forward journey was delayed following concerns over transporting the heavy load through the elevated portion of the Alappuzha bypass road.
