P.Kalaiarasan Scientist, Thiruvananthapuram Water Transport Division January 2017 FORWARD Kerala has a good network of waterways formed from rivers, backwaters and man- made cross canals, connecting the various parts of the state. These waterways serve not only as navigational channels but also helps in tourism promotion and economic prosperity. Inland water transport is widely regarded as economic, environment friendly and energy efficient mode of transport. Hence, there is a necessity to revive this system, not only for inland navigation, but also to harness the enormous potentials in other sectors of economy. With the increasing trend of urbanization and motorisation, Kochi City is facing severe traffic problems which hamper the mobility of people and goods transportation. At the instance of Kerala Shipping and Inland Navigation Corporation Limited (KSINC), National Transportation Planning and Research Centre (NATPAC) has undertaken a feasibility study for improvement of Kochi Canals. Detailed condition survey was conducted for Edapally Canal, Chilavannur Canal, Thevara-Perandoor Canal, Thevara Canal and Market Canal. Details like horizontal and vertical clearance of cross structures, road accessibility, bank protection measures, land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation measures, constraints for inland navigation etc. were examined. For restoration of water flow through these canals, the extent of siltation and the quantum of dredging necessary were assessed. Water quality analysis was also carried out. Based on the studies, development proposals are formulated to operationalise the canals. The proposals include measures like desilting, widening, protection of side banks, provision of navigational aids, improvement of approach roads, reconstruction of cross- structures with adequate clearances, removal of encroachments and rehabilitation measures for project affected people. Suitable locations were identified for tourism and leisure-time activities. Revenue generation activities like water sports, parks and recreational sites, development of landing places /boat jetties, way side amenities, beautification of canal-front etc. are some of the value-addition to the project. The development proposals suggested in this Report are expected to have long-term benefits to the society. It is essential that the schemes are prioritized based on the local needs and taken up for early implementation with appropriate funding option.

    Final Report Investment Proposal - Ferry Services RETA 6293: Cities Development Initiative for Asia June 2010 Pre-Feasibility Study Urban Transport, Cochin, India Cities Development Initiative for Asia RETA 6293 Pre-Feasibility Study Urban Transport, Cochin, India Final Report Investment Proposal - Ferry Services GlobalWorks Forward This investment proposal is one of three investment proposals developed under a transport sector pre- feasibility assessment (PFS) for Cochin, India. The PFS was jointly funded by the Cochin Corporation and the Cities Development Initiative for Asia (CDIA), and conducted between December 2009 and June 2010. The outputs of the PFS include an innovative transport sector strategy for Cochin, together with three high-priority transport sector investment proposals for immediate implementation. These proposals include ferry services, priority bus lanes, park and pay and pedestrian over bridges, and pedestrian precincts with supporting park and pay facilities. This report addresses the investment proposal for the ferry services. The proposal firstly summarizes the status, constraints and challenges facing Cochin‟s transport sector, leading to a summary of the innovative transport sector strategy which has been developed for the city to meet these challenges. This then leads into a presentation of the proposed ferry service investment proposal, providing technical, financial, economic, and social and environmental safeguard analysis for pre-feasibility due diligence. The proposal also provides a preferred implementation schedule for the initiative, and recommends institutional restructuring and strengthening activities necessary to assure long term viability of the investments. There is considerable public private partnership (PPP) opportunity in the ferry services proposal. The PPP potential is also therefore addressed. Formulation of this PFS has only been possible due to the vision and leadership provided by the Corporation through the Mayor Professor Mercy Williams.

Fishermen, tourists and people living on the coast were unprepared for the waves that rose upto 6 meters high throughout the Indian Ocean, Andaman Sea and Arabian Sea. The earthquake, had its epicenter 257 km south southwest of Banda Aceh in Sumatra, Indonesia. This was the most powerful earthquake experienced in the region during the last 40 years. 176 persons were killed in Kerala as tsunami waves rising over the Arabian Sea invaded the land, wreaking havoc and destruction in the coastal fishing hamlets in the southern districts of the state.
