New Delhi [India], June 16 (ANI): The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways has prepared the draft of "Guidelines for Operationalization of Ro-Ro and Ro-Pax ferry service along the coast of India" after incorporating the preliminary inputs received from the stakeholders. Ministry in a statement said that the guidelines encompass the two aspects of ferry operation namely; concessions for terminal operation and license for operation of Ro-Pax vessels. "These guidelines will homogenize and streamline the development and operations of ferry services, along with, promoting ease of doing business by eliminating unnecessary delays, disagreements and introducing digital interventions at the customer interface," the Ministry stated. It further added that they will also help the State/UT Governments and Port Authorities in the implementation of such projects by standardization of procedures.

With the increasing focus over the usage of RoPax and RoRo for numerous purposes, both on domestic and international routes will fetch new requirements for these features and facilities, with new risks. Therefore, risk assessment on the combined terminals is the prime need of the hour.

New terminal layouts and facilities will be needed with combined RoPax ships. In some instances, the terminal locations can also be changed to provide safety to the passengers, both for driving and walking. A big challenge for combined terminals is that they require more space.

Today’s RoRo terminals contain large spaces dedicated for storage of trailers and cars, exclusively. RoPax ships comprise both stern quarter ramps and stern ramps. For better capacity of loading an unloading vehicles, these new RoRo and RoPax vessels can also have bow and side ramps.
