The much-delayed roll-on roll-off (ro-ro) service of the Kochi Corporation will kickstart from April 2018. The ro-ro service will run between Vypeen and Fort Kochi.
The Kerala Shipping and Inland Navigation Corporation (KSINC) has been entrusted with the task to operate the service.
A proposal has also been tabled for setting up of a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for the operation of ferry as well as well as ro-ro service. The cost of the project is Rs 19 crore.
All the operational and maintenance expense of two vessels, excluding the triennial dry-docking, will be borne by the KSINC.
