MoPSW finalises guidelines for promoting floating jetties/platforms for multiple uses

The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW) has finalised and issued guidelines for promoting floating jetties/platforms for multiple uses. The development comes in the wake of MoPSW’s efforts to set up world class floating infrastructure along the coastline in the upcoming projects as per provisions contained in the guidelines. The guidelines set out various technical aspects for the implementation of floating jetties/platforms for marinas, minor harbours, fishing harbours/fish landing centres, water dromes and other similar facilities in coastal areas, estuaries, waterways, rivers and reservoirs. These guidelines may also be suitably utilised for floating pontoons/platforms in various waterborne systems and floating wave attenuators (or breakwaters) for minor harbours/fish landing facilities.
