The Ministry of Shipping, under its flagship Sagarmala Programme, is
setting up a state-of-the-art Centre for Inland and Coastal Maritime
Technology (CICMT) at IIT-Kharagpur at a cost of Rs 69.20 crore, the
institute said on Sunday.
The Centre will provide applied
research and development, as also real world solutions for the inland
and coastal waterways sector, as also coastal waterways transportation.
It
would also provide tools and technological inputs to double the share
in intermodal transport for domestic waterways freight carrying
capacity, the IIT-Kharagpur statement said.
The project is of
strategic long-term interests for the port and maritime sector of the
country and is being fully funded under unique and innovative projects
under Sagarmala.
The funding for CICMT is for five years after which revenues generated from the end users will make it sustainable.
Currently,
there is no testing and experimentation facility available in the
country for inland and coastal vessels for which the shipbuilders have
to approach various European countries. The CICMT is expected to address
this long-felt need, the statement said.
