SWTD withdraws catamaran ferries for alterations Updated: Updated: Fans, grab rails to be installed; steps at entry to be modified Share Article AAA An eyesore: Even as the SWTD is suspending the operation of the newly launched catamaran ferries, older vessels abandoned by the agency are occupying considerable space at the Ernakulam boat jetty . Fans, grab rails to be installed; steps at entry to be modified The pair of catamaran ferries that the State Water Transport Department (SWTD) launched a week ago in the Ernakulam-Fort Kochi sector have been temporarily withdrawn from service to make a few modifications. They include installation of fans, grab rails and modification of steps at their entry.

The services were halted in 2018 following the floods. A few thousand commuters from the region, most of whom from economically weaker sections, who relied on ferries to commute to Ernakulam and other places, have to either travel by bus or go all the way to the Customs Jetty in Fort Kochi to board ferries. Bus commuters end up paying over thrice the ferry fare of ₹6 and also spend more than double the time to reach mainland Ernakulam, said Govind Madhav Mallaya of West Kochi Passengers’ Association.
