India Sri Lanka ferry service to commence soon
28 January 2011: The ferry service between Tuticorin and Colombo is expected to commence by the end of next month. Earlier the ferry service suspended due to the security situation of Sri Lanka during the three decades of conflict.
The ferry will be operated three times a week initially and the frequency would be increased later. The Tuticorin Port will also be developed to comply with standards on a par with international ports. A ferry service between Rameswaram and Thalaimannar is expected to commence soon once the requisite infrastructure is put in place on both sides.
