en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Kochi Municipal Corporation is set to launch its third roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) ferry next month, aimed at easing travel pressure on the busy Vypin-Kochi Fort route. Built by Cochin Shipyard and operated by KSINC, the vessel is designed as a double-ended ship to enable faster and more efficient boarding and disembarkation, thereby improving last-mile connectivity in the water transport network.

Previously deployed Ro-Ro vessels have already enhanced travel experiences on one of Kerala's most congested ferry corridors. With the new vessel in service, waiting times during peak hours and holidays are expected to be further reduced, vehicle-carrying capacity between Vypin and Kochi Fort will be strengthened, and the corresponding burden on road traffic will be alleviated.

As part of Kochi's integrated transport system, the advancement of this project also reflects the growing capability of India's domestic shipbuilding industry in constructing specialized inland and coastal passenger vessels. Kerala is promoting the modernization of water transport, making ferries a reliable component of the urban mobility network.
