Floating Jetty is a concept which promises to usher in a revolution in seafaring activity in INDIA
Though India has such a vast coastline, seafaring is limited to a small number of people in a rather limited number of places which do have a seafaring tradition.
The main reasons for limited seafaring in INDIA are:
| a. | Varying topography of individual regions |
| b. | Financial paucity of local waterborne population. |
| c. | Local Government bodies either neglecting the problem or suffering from lack of financial allocations for easing docking and undocking of boats locally |
| d. | Existing pre-Independence concrete jetties fallen into decrepit conditions due to lack of timely fund allocation and repairs by the concerned govt. bodies |
| e. | lack of realisation how water transport can be; turned into a pleasant, dynamic everyday affair by all people concerned. |
With roads choking with vehicles and alternative transportation nodes nowhere in sight,(especially eco-friendly ones) transportation by water (inland waters, lagoons, large lakes, rivers,and by sea along the coast) are the upcoming solutions. For this, the existence of the necessary infrastructure to support the activity is vital to the flourishing of water-borne activity. With local state governments either unwilling to step into uncharted territory or facing paucity of funds or political indifference or all reasons in combination, it is left to either individuals, local bodies or dynamic thinking individuals heading institutions to take a lead in setting up the necessary infrastructure to making the movement of people from shore to boat and vice versa easier. For this to be made possible, the cost of the infrastructure equipment must be more affordable (compared to the cost of Concrete Jetties) to be attractive. Also the equipment must be easily transportable or shifted at short notice (in the event of a natural calamity like a storm or flood). the afore mentioned requirements are well fulfilled by Classicraft's Floating Jetty Concept
