Port Blair, Mar 03: The Lt Governor reviewed today at Raj Niwas the important issues regarding shipping especially with respect to the availability of mainland vessels in view of the forthcoming summer vacation. He directed that a case should immediately be taken up with the Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) to ensure availability of maximum mainland vessels in the forthcoming vacation season to ensure smooth transfer of passengers to and from mainland. The SCI may be requested to adjust/ reschedule their APS schedules/ repair works to ensure maximum availability during the forthcoming peak season.
He also directed that similarly adequate Inter Island vessels should be provided for the people of other Islands to travel to mainland during vacation period, for which again adequate coordination with the SCI must be carried out as they are the Technical Manager for the Mainland and Inter Island vessels.
