The new boat will
also be an electric hybrid in nature and would be the 13th vessel with a
capacity of 100 pax being built by CSL for Kochi Water Metro. Currently KWML
operates Water Metro services on High Court-Vypeen, High Court-Bolgatty and
Vyttila-Kakkanad routes using 12 boats.
Designed to provide efficient,
eco-friendly, and convenient transportation for commuters through waterways in
Kerala, the electric hybrid Water Metro
boat is a state-of-the-art vessel. The ferry is equipped with a technology,
ensuring reduced emissions and minimized environmental impact.
It is expected that the
availability of more boats would help KWML start boat services on new routes. KWML is planning to start services on new
routes between High Court and South Chittoor in the coming weeks. Earlier
KMRL authorities had said that they need at least three more boats to start
service in South Chittoor sector.
