The ramp was made available for passengers on Sunday to facilitate the boarding 

The floating ramp aims to provide a safer and more convenient boarding experience for speedboat passengers

The structure was introduced as part of ongoing efforts to upgrade the safety measures at Mumbai’s popular tourist hub following the tragic ferry accident last month that claimed the lives of 14 people

On December 18, a Navy craft, undergoing engine trials, lost control and crashed into a passenger ferry Mumbai’s harbour area. The ferry, which had over 100 passengers on board, was en route from the Gateway of India to the Elephanta Island

The Gateway of India sees a large footfall of tourists, especially during weekends and holidays
