Second floating jetty at Old Goa inaugurated virtually

• The jetty will offer safe, hassle-free transportation to the tourists.
• GoI has approved setting up of two Concrete floating jetties on River Mondovi (NW-68) to connect Old Goa and Panjim.
• Earlier, the first jetty located at Captain of Ports was inaugurated in February 2020 at Panjim.

Concrete floating jetties have many advantages over the fixed jetties as:

• Their price is approximately 1/5th of the price of a fixed jetty.
• They are quicker to build and install, easier to use.
• The designed life of a floating jetty is up to 50 years.
• Also, being floating structures they don't need CRZ clearances.
• They can be increased in size or reduced as per changes in users' requirements or the changes in the jetty site's hydrographic profile.
