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 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.

Ro-Ro ferry service since ancient times water was most preferred and cheapest mode of transport but with the invention of air transport and reduction in time of travel water transport lost its popularity. But for tourism and internal transport can be a viable option as it is cheaper than road transport and has aesthetic and tourism applicability. So if such services are used for coastal states of India not only it will increase connectivity but it will also have an strategic and military significance apart from increasing tourism industry.

There should be a special cell headed by a parliament member and Senior Civil Service cadre to operationalize the program, first time ever seen in Indian belt. This will cover both passengers and transportation facilities in a nominal economic favour. It has wide impact on people mobility, people who are away from high cost fares, widen social links, economic fetch, easy and comfortable. It boosts Indian coast and minimise traffic and maximum potential to peoples mobility.
