Goa has carved a historic milestone by becoming the first state in India to officially implement the landmark Inland Vessels Act. This strategic regulatory leap establishes a robust, standardized framework specifically designed to govern all inland water transport operations. By enforcing stringent safety audits, comprehensive vessel checks, and updated certification rules, the state is radically upgrading passenger transport security.
Concurrently, this policy overhaul drastically cuts administrative red tape, simplifying waterway logistics and accelerating the ease of doing business across Goa’s highly active coastal and river network.
