COSTAL DEVLOPMENT ACTIVITIES WILL FLOURISH WITH DEPLOYMENT OF FLOATNG JETTYIES.
MINISTRY OF PORTS, SHIPPING AND WATERWAYES ISSUES
DREAFT GUIDELINES OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION OF FLOTING ATRUCTURES FOR PUBLIC
CONSULTATON.
Ministry intends to
promote floating jetties for various usages right
along the Indian coastline.
Ministry of port shipping and waterways has
compiles the draft guidelines for technical specification of floating
structures, with a vision to line up and deploy world-class floating infrastructure right
along the coastline and issued the identical for public consulting.
Floating structure due
to its inherent advantages, is attractive solution and being encouraged by
the ministry of ports, shipping and waterways.
The benefits of floating jetties over the
traditional quay and
glued concrete structure are as follows:
• It could
be a cost-effective solution and far cheaper than conventional structure price.
• Setting of floating structure is far faster as compared to traditional jetties. Usually, floating structure are
often inbuilt 6-8 months as compared to 24 months for conventional
structure.
• Its environmental impact is minimal.
• Expansion are easily feasible because
of modular construction techniques.
• It is
well transportable just in case of reconfiguring of the port.
• It provides constant freeboard between jetties
and boats.
Deployment of floating jetties, especially in
location having an outsized, tidal range, where conventional quay pose
problems during low water periods, is incredibly convenient. Floating jetties, at such location provide constant
freeboard, eases embarkation of ships stores and simple unloading of fisherman’s catch. Its
consequently results in increased
productivity moreover as safety of
the fisherman within the long term.
Ministry of port, shipping and waterways has
successfully implemented some pilot projects within the recent past by following the international guiding principal. These
include fitting of passenger floating jetties in Goa, water-aerodromes
at Sabarmati River & at Sardar Sarovar dam (for the seaplane services)
which are yielding of the result over 80 similar projects of the ministry are under strategy
planning stage right
along the coastline
for overall development and upliftment of the coastal community.
A benchmark and standard specification at par with
international standard are being evolved by the ministry in
order that technical
specifications of floating structure like floating jetties, water-aerodromes,
floating marinas, fish landing facilities etc. so precise and stringent technical
specifications are established.
The draft guidelines together
with proposed specifications/schedule of technical requirements (SOTR) are
issued for seeking the feedback and suggestions from the
general public. The draft guidelines may
be accessed on the link:

For which suggestion will
be emailed to sagar.mala@in by 11.12.2020.
It has been a priority of the Prime Minister Shri
Narendra Modi’s government to boost transparency within
the government. The issuing of draft guidelines and seeking public feedback may
be a progressive step within the same direction, which is able to benefit and prove a milestone for the upliftment of the coastal
community within the long term.
