These new ferries are not just fast—they’re smart, too. They’ll save you up to 20 minutes compared to the current ferry rides. Plus, with air-conditioned seating, you’ll enjoy a cool and comfy trip every time.  

But that's not all. This project is part of India’s big “Green Port” initiative, led by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways (MoPS&W). The goal? To make ports greener and reduce pollution. By 2047, the plan is to achieve net-zero emissions and boost renewable energy use by 60%. These electric ferries are a giant step toward that goal.  

Now, let’s talk about the ferries themselves. They’re made from durable fiber-reinforced polymer and are 12 meters long. With a speed of up to 12 knots, they can carry 20-24 passengers per trip. Whether it’s the Gateway of India to JNP during the regular season or Bhaucha Dhakka to JNP in the foul season, these ferries will have you covered all year round.  

Booking your ticket? Super easy! An online ticketing system and smooth check-in process will make your journey hassle-free. These ferries won’t just connect Mumbai and JNP—they’ll also help boost tourism and trade in the area.  

This isn’t just another ferry service—it’s a bold move toward cleaner, quieter, and smarter transport. When January 2025 arrives, get ready for a travel experience that’s faster, greener, and more enjoyable than ever.  

So, gear up for this exciting change, and let’s celebrate India’s leap toward sustainable development!
