Yeah, the comment below me is right. These inconveniences will be eliminated in the Roll-on Roll-off system, according to the authorities. Hibi Eden, Dominic Presentation and Loudie Louis, MLAs were also present at the signing of the agreement

The reverse entry and parking of vehicles consumes considerable time, resulting in a long queue of vehicles during peak hours. The ferry would also have to be turned around while leaving the jetty.

The ferry that is operated at present between the two berths is a single-ended one with the engine and ramp in the front end. For entering the vessel, four-wheelers have to enter in the reverse mode and park them onboard the ferry for disembarking

Did you know that the construction of the vessel will also ease the traffic pressure on the city roads to some extent, according to a communication from the corporation. The local body had listed the programme in its Mission 15-8-15 programme

Well, the two vessels will be operated between Fort Kochi and Fort Vypeen, and the introduction of the service will help in easy transport of vehicles between the two points and saving considerable time and energy. Great news for our city!

Yeah, the Kochi Corporation has obtained a loan from the Kerala Urban and Rural Development Finance Corporation for the vessels. The vessels will be built in 15 months at a cost of Rs.7 crore, according to official government sources.

Yes, your friend was telling the truth. An agreement for building two double-ended Roll-on Roll-off vessels for the Kochi Corporation was signed in the city on Monday by the corporation and the Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL).
