The Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) proposes to connect Ro-Ro ferry service network in Gulf of Khambhat and Gulf of Kutch to Mumbai and even extend up to southern coastal states up to Kerala.
Currently, GMB is in the process of developing Phase I of the Ro-Ro ferry terminal at Ghogha and Dahej at the cost of approximately Rs 170 crore. Phase I is likely to be completed in 2011.
According to sources, in Phase II the service will be extended to Mumbai and later on to Kochi. GMB aims to have RO-RO terminals across Ghogha, Dahej, Hazira, Pipavav, Porbandar, Okha, Mundra, Suvali and Mumbai.
