Types)
With such a vast coastline that India has,
relatively the sea-faring activity is rather limited to a small number of people
and small pockets mainly because :
With roads choking with vehicles and
alternative transportation nodes nowhere in sight, (especially eco-friendly
ones) transportation by water (inland waters, lagoons, large lakes, rivers, and
by sea along the coast) are the upcoming solutions. For this the existence of
the necessary infrastructure to support the activity is vital to the flourishing
of the water-borne activity. With local state governments either unwilling to
step into uncharted territory or facing paucity of funds or political
indifference or all reasons in combination it is left to either individuals,
local bodies or dynamic thinking individuals heading institutions to take a lead
in setting up the necessary infrastructure to making the movement of people from
shore to boat and vice versa easier.
For this to be made possible, the cost of the infrastructure equipment more
affordable (in comparison to the cost of Concrete Jetties) to be attractive.
Also the equipment must be easily transportable or shifted at short notice (in
the event of a natural calamity like a storm or flood)
The Floating Jetty module shown in the picture above is capable
The modules, each 50 ft x 10 ft can be connected to form a continuous chain on gradually sloping beaches or heavily silted, areas to form a continuous walkway to the water's edge at low tide and, (as it rises with the tide) a long floating jetty at high tide enabling the boats to come right up to land alongside the jetty.
