The Directorate of Shipping Services (DSS) has revised the sailing schedule of MV Swaraj Dweep due to non-availability of pilot and tug assistance at Mayabunder Port.
Earlier scheduled to sail to Kolkata via Mayabunder on September 3 from Sri Vijaya Puram, the vessel will now depart directly for Kolkata on September 4 at 8:00 am from Haddo Wharf. The return sailing from Kolkata has been rescheduled for September 11 at 12:00 noon, directly to Sri Vijaya Puram.
Passengers holding tickets for the Kolkata-bound sailing have been requested to follow the revised schedule. Those booked from Mayabunder to Kolkata have been advised to embark the vessel at Sri Vijaya Puram on September 4.
To facilitate their travel, DSS will provide a link speed boat service on September 3 at 9:00 pm from Mayabunder, which will reach Sri Vijaya Puram on September 4 at 6:00 am, enabling passengers to board MV Swaraj Dweep. (Story Based on PR)
