Abstract:

The Mumbai city’s 62-km coastline which can be used as a transport corridor supplementing our saturated suburban railway services.

Besides, enough Navi Mumbai residents can afford catamarans.

We will be having ships with the capacity of 100, 50 and 20 passengers. Because when there is heavy rush we will run more capacity ships and when few people are travelling we can use other ships respectively.

We will also carry 2-wheelers and cargo along with our ferry.

Various certifications we will undergo before launching this business venture. For example: Ballast Water Management, Crew Accommodation, Load Line,...
