State owned operator the Shipping Corp of India (SCI) is looking to modernise its ageing fleet of passenger/cargoships that maintain the regular links between the Indian mainland and the Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshadweep islands groups.
Talks are currently underway between SCI, naval architects and shipyards over the design of two 1,200 passenger capacity vessels (157m x 21m) and two 400 passenger capacity vessels (125m x 18m).
SCI currently operates the 1971-built Akbar and the 1974-built Harshavardhana on the services between the mainland and the islands
