The Indian Register of Shipping (IRClass) and the government of Assam have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to further enhance the state’s inland water transport (IWT) system to improve commuter safety.

The MoU follows the funding agreement between the Assam government and the World Bank to modernise and transform inland water transport in the state which has the largest network of navigable inland waterways in India. Plans include the integration of high quality passenger and vehicle ferry services into its wider transport network.

IRClass will be providing technical assistance to the government of Assam, including the preparation of technical specification of vessels, evaluation of shipyard bids, inspections during construction and certification.
