The state government has formulated a policy to connect the state's coastlines for passengers by sea. This policy is being implemented by the Maharashtra Maritime Board. Under this, jetties will be constructed on the coastlines.
As per reports, all the necessary approval has been received from the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) to construct jetties for Ro-Ro services at Uttan Dongri and Nagla Port.
Under this, jetties of 143 meters long and 10 meters wide will be constructed at both Nagla Port and Uttan.
This jetty is the longest and can accommodate large ships like Ro-Ro. At the same time, a large center for water transport will be constructed by the Maharashtra Maritime Board at both these places.
