MoPSW launches Sagar Samriddhi, online dredging monitoring system

On June 9, 2023, the union minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW) launched Sagar Samriddhi, an online dredging monitoring system. This was launched in order to accelerate ‘waste to wealth’ initiative of the ministry. This has been developed by the National Technology Centre for Ports, Waterways and Coasts, which is the technological arm of MoPSW. It will bring in synergy among multiple input reports, such as, daily dredging report, the pre and post dredging survey data before processing and producing real time dredging report. Moreover, the system will also allow daily and monthly progress visualisation, dredger performance and downtime monitoring, easy location track data with snapshot of loading, unloading and idle time.
