KOCHI (Metro Rail News): The keel-laying ceremony of Kochi Water Metro’s first boat was held at Cochin Shipyard on Tuesday. Kochi Metro is constructing a hybrid electric catamaran ferry with a capacity of 100 passengers.
The traditional keel-laying ceremony is universally recognised and one of the most important events in the construction of a vessel. It marks the beginning of a significant construction phase. Olden days, the construction happens around the keel, while in modern times, the date signifies a substantial process in the shipbuilding.
