The Karnataka Maritime Board (KMB) has proposed a
new coastal ferry service connecting Mangaluru and Maravanthe, aimed at
improving regional connectivity and promoting tourism along the Karnataka
coastline.

provide a sustainable alternative to road transport along the scenic coastal
route. KMB is evaluating the route feasibility, safety measures, and vessel
requirements before launching operations.

Mangaluru–Maravanthe ferry service aligns with our vision of boosting maritime
transport, supporting local tourism, and providing eco-friendly travel options
