The ferry service is expected to reduce travel time between Bhavnagar and Bharuch from eight hours (360km by road) to 1.5 hours (31km by sea). In the second phase, the ferry will also transport trucks, light commercial vehicles and cars along with passengers. "I have been hearing about Ghogha-Dahej ro-ro ferry service since my school days. "I wanted this service to begin when I took over as CM, but you won't believe the structural mistakes the previous governments had made in the ro-ro ferry service design. A similar project is also in offing in the Gulf of Kutch to connect Jamnagar with Mandvi ," he said.
