Heritage project will be completed by year end Bulk of the conservation work undertaken as part of the ₹110-crore second phase of the Muziris Heritage Project (MHP) over the past four years may near completion by March. The remaining work will be completed by year end. The project is expected to reignite the interest of heritage enthusiasts, students and tourists in what was once a port, considered a hub of civilisation and trade.
Muziris Heritage Project inks deal with KSINC The number of hop-on hop-off boats that ferry heritage enthusiasts to historic locales in the Muziris region is set to increase, with the Muziris Heritage Project entering into a pact with the Kerala Shipping and Inland Navigation Corporation (KSINC) to procure four more such vessels and a rescue boat.
The locales were linked by six such AC boats and five smaller ones called water taxis. The four new ones that will be procured by July will be non-AC hop-on hop-off boats, each capable of carrying 25 passengers. Their height has been reduced so that low-lying bridges do not pose a hurdle. Another order for four more boats would be placed once the new boats arrived, said P.M. Noushad, managing director of the heritage project.
