Water Metro Ferry Collides with RoRo Vessel in Kochi
Imagine a water bus called a Water Metro was trying to park at a dock.
The water was moving in a strong way, and the person driving the Water Metro lost control.
The water bus bumped into another bigger boat that was already parked.
Luckily, nobody got hurt, and the boats weren't damaged.
The water bus was able to start running again after a short break.
Sometimes, the Water Metro has trouble with seaweed and bridges that are too low, which can stop the buses from running.
A Water Metro ferry collided with a RoRo vessel at the Vypeen jetty in Kochi.
The incident occurred due to strong undercurrents.
No injuries or vessel damage were reported.
The Water Metro ferry resumed service after a brief cancellation.
Water Metro services in the Vyttila-Kakkanad corridor were disrupted previously due to seaweed and bridge clearance issues.
