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.

The term ro-ro is generally reserved for large ocean-going vessels. The vessels have either built-in or shore-based ramps that allow the cargo to be efficiently rolled on and off the vessel when in port. RO-RO setup is costly because of Large vessels, building port to drive in, tolls center, extension to highway to drive out etc. Hence it is essential to verify return on investment. This cost can be still cheaper than constructing bridge. Also if span of bridge is >10km then maintenance cost of bridge will shoot up where ferry service will be more appropriate. Only few states (Assam, Gujrat, Maharashtra, Goa, Kerala, West Bengal) came forward in implementing ro-ro ferry service.

applying to ships of 100 metres or more in length built after 1 February 1992. The amendments were based upon the so-called "probabilistic" concept of survival, originally developed through study of data relating to collisions collected by IMO.
