Cochin to expand its water metro

Cochin Corporation has placed order with the local shipyard for the third Ro Ro vessel at a cost of Rs 15 crores  to expand water metro services in the city

Steps have been taken to begin the construction of the third vessel in February, the Kochi Corporation announced. If all goes as planned, residents will receive the third Ro-Ro as a New Year gift in 2025

The entire project will cost around `15 crore as per the estimated prepared by the cochin shipyard. Although the Smart City Board had decided to allocate `10 crore to the project, the shipyard requested the corporation to pay the entire sum. The corporation held a meeting with Cochin Shipyard chairman and MD Madhu S Nair and other officials to discuss the technical aspects of the project

Residents of Fort Kochi and Vypeen, who have been at the receiving end of frequent disruptions in the roll-on-roll-off (Ro-Ro) vessel service, can heave a sigh of relief as their long-standing demand for a third vessel is set to become a reality soon..
