Inland Vessel Operations

The Ministry of Shipping is looking forward to increase the freight movement through the inland waterways of India to provide a cost-effective and energy-efficient transportation framework. The Sagarmala project is focused on improvement of coastal shipping activities and connection to inland waterways. In this regard, Artificial Intelligence, Operations Management, Logistics and Big Data Analytics will be used to develop intelligent systems for transportation and cargo handling. Initiatives for vessel tracking and autonomous control will be taken for efficient operation of vessels for waterways of specific zones.
