LADIS Portal Launched

The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) launched a new portal LADIS – Least Available Depth to aid in ensuring of optimum use of National Waterways.

LADIS

An assured depth of waterway is required for seamless movement of vessels. The Portal will provide real-time data on least available depths for ship/barge and cargo owners so that they can undertake transportation on NWs in a more planned way. The real-time information in stretches of various NWs will help transporters by guiding them on the suitability of time of movement.
The LADIS Postal is hosted at on IWAI’s website and has been built in house by the IWAI. Initially, the information would be made available for NW-1, NW-2, Indo-Bangladesh Protocol route and NW-3,  and the facility will be made available to other National Waterways in coming days.
LADIS will better facilitate the day to day operations of inland vessels plying on National Waterways and avoids any hindrance in service and operation. LADIS will enhance the credibility and efficiency of information sharing to achieve seamless operations on National Waterways, besides pre-empting problems that may occur during the movement of vessels.
