The Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, under the Sagarmala Programme, intends to create an ecosystem for the development of Ro-Ro (Roll-on, Roll-off) ferries and waterway transportation throughout the nation. When compared to traditional modes of transportation, this method of transportation offers a number of advantages, including shorter travel distances, cheaper logistics, and less pollution.

The draft guidelines aim to standardise and streamline the development and operation of ferry services, as well as, promote ease of doing business by reducing delays and conflicts, Additionally, guidelines will aid in boosting private players' confidence, hence expanding their involvement and encouraging healthy competition in such ventures.

in initial stage government should start ro ro farry on its own. just like state run system. farry boats can be out soursed on rental basis for five years. after five years on looking towards scope and profitability private operators will come in compitition. speed boats for passenger only can also be allowed for speep to attract passengers. speed boats will become more attractive.

1. A coast guard unit also attached with each ferry transport so that it will be act as coast patrolling and safety of the ferry transport too. 2. The Agniveer should gives opportunity in this so that the employments of trained people can be utilised in right way. 3. Few % of local people near ferry ports also considered for employment as they have better understanding of the area.

Cont'd---We have 12 major ports which have to handle domestic & international cargo. Apart from this we have 200 minor ports. In large ports unloading directly to small ships or barges for onward shipping can save road travel. But there are issues like customs, barges have lower draft and operate within a smaller radius. To make pvt participation successful return on investment & savings for the shipper is vital. To have good facilities investment has to be made on mechanization. Things will work out only with good connectivity to highways from small towns. Also operating space in small ports with proper roads & wharf in minor ports for small ships & barges.There are medium size harbors which can handle smaller ships needs railway & good national highway connectivity. Quick transit of shipment with less hassles. These are my views China is struggling with a small coastline. We have vast coast utilizing intelligently to save fuel to become green & developed country utilizing manpower.

National success of transportation is managing with minimum energy requirements. The energy consumption is least in water next comes railways. Road transport is convenient but needs more energy compared to railway. Shape of our country is triangular in the south with two sides starting from kanyakumari to coast of Gujarat & the other upto coast of West Bengal. Average distance between major ports 350 to 800 kms and can cater to 300 to 450 kms radius inland on both east & west side. Northern India is wider and the most economical transport is railways. And wherever rivers are available barge or boats. But the movement is restricted to certain cities or towns & depends upon the type of cargo to be moved with minimum handling. We have 12 major ports which have to handle domestic & international cargo. Apart from this we have 200 minor ports. In large ports unloading directly to small ships or barges for onward shipping can save road travel. But there are issues like customs, cont'd---

जी प्रधानमंत्री जी, भारतवर्ष की सीमा तीन तरफ से समुद्र से लगती हैं ये हमारे देश को प्राकृतिक रूप में मिली एक सौगात है परन्तु अब से पहले की सरकारों ने इसका सकारात्मक पहलू ना समझा ना जाना। आपके नेतृत्व वाली सरकार इस प्राकृतिक रूप का देशहित में लाभ उठाने हेतु प्रयासरत है बड़ा ही सराहनीय कदम एवं उल्लेखनीय कार्य होगा। इससे पर्यावरण भी शुद्ध रहेगा सड़कों पर भार में कमी होगी जान ओ माल की भी काफी सुरक्षित होगा। अतः Ro-Ro यानी जल में परिवहन हमारी अर्थव्यवस्था के लिए महत्वपूर्ण एवं मील का पत्थर साबित होगा।

जल परिवहन सेवाओं के विकास के लिये सरकार के सतत प्रयास सराहनीय है।ये सेवाएं देश के समुद्रों के साथ बड़ी बड़ी नदियों में भी शुरू होना चाहिये।नदियों में जल प्रवाह के लिये बांधो की ऊँचाई घटाने की ओर भी सरकार ध्यान दे तथा भविष्य में नदियों पर बनने वाले बांधो की ऊँचाई ज्यादा न बनाई जाए।नदियों में बारहों महीने पर्याप्त जल रहे ।इस ओर सरकार का ध्यान जाना चाहिए।
