The Ferry Service The ferry service has been conceived to provide a faster convenient and competitively priced means of transport between the communities of Saurashtra and South Gujarat.

The principal focus of attention is on a RoRo ferry service for vehicles of all types, but especially trucks and cars.

Passengers will be carried on either RoRo vessels or dedicated passenger ferries.

Hinterland Definition - 1 Route Survey – Existing Connectivity Traffic movement between South Gujarat and Saurashtra happens largely through Vataman • There are three commonly used roads connecting Bharuch and Vataman i. via Vasad ii. via Vadodara iii. via Jambusar • But, route via Jambusar is the most preferred and economical route and hence considered for detailed cost analysis Gogha Dahej

Challenges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Sea State The Gulf of Cambay is a large expanse of sea with coastal conditions varying considerably around the gulf.

In the upper gulf, around Dahej and to the west, the tidal range tends to be larger with strong currents, although the sea is somewhat protected and the waves are lower.

In the lower gulf, around Surat and to the east, the tidal range and currents are smaller, but the sea is rougher.

Tide Levels The tidal range in the Gulf of Cambay is similar to that in parts of the the UK, at about 10m.
