[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s inauguration of the first phase of Ro-Ro ferry service between Ghogha and Dahej in Gujarat is a revolutionary step for India in transport and logistics.

This will be South Asia’s first world-class Ro-Ro ferry service. By linking South Gujarat and Saurashtra and allowing vehicles with passengers aboard, the ferry service will save travel time and fuel and clear congested roads. It will also give a boost to the entire Saurashtra economy. Transporters and travellers could simply reach Ghogha port, drive their vehicles inside a Ro-Ro ferry and reach Dahej within 90 minutes flat for the onward journey.

The project has been constructed and designed by Essar Projects, the EPC arm of the Essar Group.

The service will be extended to other locations across the Gulf of Khambat and Gulf of Kutch. There are also ambitious plans to connect the state to Mumbai and other southern states by this link.
