India Srilanka Ties: Tamil Nadu-Sri Lanka Passenger Ferry Service Resumes After Four Decades

Beziehungen zwischen Indien und Sri Lanka: Der Passagierfährdienst zwischen Tamil Nadu und Sri Lanka wird nach vier Jahrzehnten wieder aufgenommen

The Indian Express, 14 Oct 2023

India Srilanka Ties: The ferry service linking Tamil Nadu's Nagapattinam and Northern Sri Lanka's Kankesanthurai is set to recommence on Saturday, October 14. This renewal marks a significant reconnection between Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu, as a ferry service that had previously operated was discontinued four decades ago amidst the turmoil of the Sri Lankan Civil War. Kankesanthurai, located in the Jaffna district of northern Sri Lanka, is known as a resort hub, and this resumption of the ferry service signifies a positive step towards fostering regional connectivity and travel opportunities.

Indien Srilanka-Verbindungen: Der Fährdienst zwischen Nagapattinam in Tamil Nadu und Kankesanthurai im Norden Sri Lankas soll am Samstag, dem 14. Oktober, wieder aufgenommen werden. Diese Erneuerung stellt eine bedeutende Wiederverbindung zwischen Sri Lanka und Tamil Nadu dar, da ein zuvor betriebener Fährdienst im April eingestellt wurde vor Jahrzehnten inmitten der Wirren des srilankischen Bürgerkriegs. Kankesanthurai liegt im Distrikt Jaffna im Norden Sri Lankas und ist als Urlaubszentrum bekannt. Die Wiederaufnahme des Fährdienstes stellt einen positiven Schritt zur Förderung regionaler Konnektivität und Reisemöglichkeiten dar.

India-Sri Lanka ferry service restarted after 40 yrs: Opportunities, challenges​

The initiative is aimed at bolstering bilateral ties, boosting tourism, and increasing people-to-people relations. It is expected to benefit local traders on both shores.​

An age-old sea route between India and Sri Lanka has been rejuvenated with the inauguration of a passenger ferry service from Nagapattinam in Tamil Nadu to Kankesanthurai in Jaffna, Northern Sri Lanka.

The initiative is aimed at bolstering bilateral ties, boosting tourism, and increasing people-to-people relations. It is expected to benefit local traders on both shores.

The new service​

The ferry service was launched on Saturday. The name of the vessel, a High Speed Craft, is ‘Cheriyapani’.

A one-way ticket costs approximately Rs 7,670 (Ind. Rupie), with a baggage allowance of up to 40 kg per passenger. The journey starts from Nagapattinam at 7 am, reaching Kankesanthurai by 11 am, and the return trip begins at 1.30 pm, arriving in Nagapattinam by 5.30 pm.

The previous route​

Maritime linkage between India and Sri Lanka isn’t new. The Indo-Ceylon Express or Boat Mail ran between Chennai and Colombo via the Thoothukudi port from the early 1900s up until 1982. However, the civil war in Sri Lanka resulted in the halting of these services.
Before the civil war erupted, one of the most popular routes was from Dhanushkodi to Talaimannar. Passengers from Chennai would get onto the Boat Mail Express, a train from Chennai’s Egmore railway station, and then transfer to a coal-powered steam ferry in Dhanushkodi, which would take them to Talaimannar in roughly two hours.

Attempts to restart​

The resumption of ferry services has been on the cards for quite some time, especially after the war ended in 2009. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) concerning passenger transportation by sea was signed in 2011 and a similar service was launched. However, it did not last for more than six months due to poor response.

Attempts were also made to establish services from Rameswaram to Talaimannar and Karaikal to Kankesanthurai. Various challenges kept these proposals from materialising.

Ferry service from Tamil Nadu to Sri Lanka rescheduled​

As per the revised schedule, the high-speed craft Cheriyapani will ply between the two places only on October 16, 18, 20, and 23, say sources​

October 15, 2023 10:51 pm | Updated October 16, 2023 01:02 pm IST - NAGAPATTINAM

A day after its launch, the operation of the high-speed passenger ferry service between Nagapattinam in Tamil Nadu and Kankesanthurai in the northern province of Sri Lanka was cancelled on Sunday.
The frequency of operation has been rescheduled to thrice a week before its scheduled suspension after October 23.

After a gap of nearly four decades, the ferry service between India and Sri Lanka resumed on Saturday with Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and Tamil Nadu Ministers E.V. Velu and S. Regupathy flagging off the high-speed craft (HSC) Cheriyapani at the Nagapattinam port. The ferry had a 14-member crew and 50 passengers onboard while it left for Sri Lanka and around 30 passengers were onboard the vessel in its return journey from Kankesanthurai the same evening.

Earlier, the Shipping Corporation of India and Tamil Nadu Maritime Board had planned to operate the ferry service every day from October 14 for ten days and suspend its operation after October 23 till January owing to onset of the northeast monsoon as the vessel was not suitable for operation during rough weather conditions, official sources said.

As per the revised schedule, the ferry would ply between the two nations only on October 16, 18, 20, and 23, sources said, adding that the change had been made to optimise operations by conducting test runs.

Meanwhile, the Nagapattinam District Small and Tiny Industries Association has demanded that infrastructure be upgraded at the Nagapattinam port to handle container ships.

In a letter to Mr. Sonowal, the association said that there were no ports with the requisite infrastructure to handle container ships between Chennai and Thoothukudi on the eastern coast and pointed out that household articles and commodities, including onion, had been exported to Singapore and Malaysia from Nagapattinam port in the past.


It further said that infrastructural development at the port was crucial for creating employment opportunities for the locals and people from the neighbouring Mayiladuthurai, Thanjavur, and Tiruvarur districts, and for the economic growth of the Cauvery delta region.

Da muss ich doch noch einmal nachhaken...

Zuvor hatten die Shipping Corporation of India und das Tamil Nadu Maritime Board geplant, den Fährdienst ab dem 14. Oktober für zehn Tage täglich zu betreiben und den Betrieb nach dem 23. Oktober bis Januar aufgrund des Einsetzens des Nordostmonsuns auszusetzen, da das Schiff nicht für den Betrieb bei rauen Wetterbedingungen geeignet war, sagten offizielle Quellen.

Damit wäre die Fähre für mich grundsätzlich kein Thema ! Was macht man bei plötzlich auftretendem und starken Sturm ?
