Parallel service of Ro-Ro unlikely before Biennale

Kochi | Monday | 10th December, 2018

Summary:

This was also demanded by Fort Vypeen Janakeeya Kuttayma (FKJK).The service was expected to reduce travel time and road traffic beteen Vypeen and Fort Kochi, especially during Biennale and Cochin Carnival time. "Thousands of people are likely to visit Fort Kochi for Cochin Carnival and Biennale. "Though the training is being progressing well, they have not yet become capable of operating the Ro-Ro vessels. They will require training for at least 10 more days," said a KSINC official. KOCHI: Chances of operation of two roll-on roll-off (Ro-Ro) vessels simultaneously between Fort Kochi and Vypeen boat jetties are bleak before the start of Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB) on Wednesday.This is despite Kerala Shipping and Inland Navigation Corporation (KSINC), the agency operating the service on behalf of Kochi corporation, had started providing training to four people on operating the vessels before the start of Biennale..
