Mumbai: Four catamaran services from the Gateway of India were halted by port officials Saturday as their owners allegedly could not produce the basic safety survey and licence documents required to operate the ferries. Meanwhile, the sunk boat’s licence was cancelled and it was moved from the main navigation channel where it met with an accident, to avoid hindering the movement of merchant ships.
Rajendra Padte, one of the proprietors of Mahesh Tours and Travels which owns the ill-fated Neel Kamal ferry that sank after an Indian Navy speedbaot collided with it last Wednesday, said, “It is also necessary to bring Indian Navy officials to justice for being high-handed while operating their boats during practice sessions on the eastern waterfront.” Maharashtra Maritime Board officials confirmed the licence and safety permit of Neel Kamal was cancelled. — Chittaranjan Tembhekar
