WHY A FERRY SERVICE?
Due to its particular geographical configuration, the area around the Gulf would benefit from the operation of a ferry service.
A ferry network will speed up travel between Saurashtra and south Gujarat with a reduction in distance for journeys around the gulf.
This is in line with the Port policy announced by the state government of Gujarat. The circuitous road distance around the gulf between the proposed terminals of surat and diu is about 540 Km.
The latest traffic information will be provided to all those bidding for the ferry service. It is expected that bidders will make use of this information besides making their own investigations, as they find necessary. The bidders will be expected to predict for themselves the likely type and level of vehicular and passenger numbers for this service.
