Dear Modi ji This idea is very good , an out of box thinking. This should have come a long time back. However I would further suggest introducing ferry services for cargo and also for passengers along the coastal waterways as Indian Bay of Bengal coast lane is very lengthy and it will also provide an alternate mode of transport for the Cargo and as well as public. This would go a long way for the growth of the Indian Economy Some kind of short stories, movies, TV Serials shooting should permitted on the RoRo Ferry ship. Boats being utilised in ferry service are badly needed to upgrading and the reconstruction ol the ghats also. We can adopt Dutch technology through make in India project and could provide new jobs for local. Documentary films on Discovery channel, Nat Geo,

cont-- discharged from a vessel. ‘Roll-on Roll-off’, actually describe the action of cargo-laden lorries or cars being loaded onto larger ships for further transport. There are several industry standards when it comes to lane width and thereby differs from vessel to vessel. Ro-ro ships can come in several types such as ferries, cruise ferries, barges, and of course, cargo ships. Some ro-ro ships are used exclusively for the transportation of cars and trucks across the oceans. Maximum time in INDIAN ocean. If we look very often we will find that it has a broad application prospects. Generally we have to be very much accurate on its stability, because maximum time it fails to control the stability due to which the answer comes to poor stability. A good development is required in the RORO is easy carrying mode on a particular and in short time with a real time detector. AHT and TAT should be maintained properly so that the speed of cargo can be the best advantage to handle the movement

cont-- the time when are facing problems or issues so that no one apart from there trained employees can copy the activity. They should be brought up or taught with different Morse code, so that every employees can understand there partners way of speaking on the work and can transform the information from one employee to another employee at the time of trouble, so that clients don't become nervous on there activities. This is true that the draft of Guidelines for Operationalization of Ro-Ro and Ro-Pax ferry service along the coast of India is issued for public consultation for seeking feedback and suggestions. So to look into this matter time comes first, secondly disciplines comes, thirdly neat and clean, fourthly using of good languages with helping hands, fifthly and lastly a good cooperation relation between the client or customers and the employee with a good will gesture movements, from time to time. RoRo is short for 'Roll-on, Roll-off', which describes how products are loaded
