Ro-Ro vessel develops technical snag again

Even though officials said efforts are being made to repair and get it back into service, uncertainty continues as it has been regularly developing snags for a couple of months now. In Aug, the vessel got steering wheel problems and it was not in operation until mid-Sept. Just after it restarted service, there were further ‘starting troubles’. It had just been back in service for only a week when the new trouble surfaced.

Vypeen-based Janakeeyakootayama demanded that a new vessel be brought into service immediately. The responsibility of operating the two Ro-Ro vessels in the route has been entrusted to Kerala Shipping and Inland Navigation Corporation. Kochi corporation has recently awarded construction of a new Ro-Ro vessel to Cochin Shipyard Ltd at Rs 18 crore.
