2. Background

Maharashtra is one of the largest maritime states in India with a coastline of around 720 km. This

coastline is regulated and administered by the Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB). MMB is

the nodal agency governing the regulatory framework of Maharashtra's maritime industry. Over

the years, MMB has taken a number of initiatives to harness the potential of its coastline by

development of Greenfield ports, captive jetties, multipurpose jetties, inland water transport and

shipyards etc.

The Board proposes to further boost this sector with development of Ro-Pax vessel services

across Ferry Wharf and Mandwa.

3. Project

Approximately 14 lakh passengers travel each year on the Gateway of India (Mumbai) to Mandwa

(Raigad) waterway using the existing passenger ferry service. Travelling by water transport

saves time and hence the tourists too prefer to use the passenger ferries at the Gateway of

India.

Hence, MMB jointly with Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT), desires to introduce a Ro-Pax service

(capable of carrying passengers as well as Roll on- Roll-off) facility between Ferry Wharf and

Mandwa. This facility (Ferry Wharf to Mandwa) will enable the passengers to travel along with

their vehicles which will save considerable time and fuel. This will help both tourists as well as

the local people by ensuring a faster and also third mode of transportation, in addition to Road

and Railway. This is also expected to improve the hinterland connectivity and boost tourist

activities in the Alibaug and Konkan region. Further the project will reduce the congestion on

roads and commensurate reduction of vehicular pollution.

In this regard, The Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB) invites online offers through e-tendering

process from reputed Companies/ Firms/ Consortiums with prior experience in operation and

maintenance of Ro- Pax services. The operator will have to Finance, Procure, Operate and

Maintain Ro-Pax vessels and provide services on aforesaid identified route.

ferry service. Minimum depth expected to be available en‐‐‐‐route and at berth is 3.0 m

below chart datum (cd)

MMB/MbPT have decided to first, construct the Ro-pax ferry terminals and subsequently,

consider privatising the terminal’s operation and maintenance.

The shore based terminal facilities at Mandwa including the approach jetty, turning platform,

floating pontoon with link span assembly, mooring dolphins, marshalling yard (for about 130

these facilities and the expected completion period is 18 months by March-2018. Design of these
