The long-awaited Hovercraft project in Visakhapatnam seems to be making progress. With two hovercrafts brought to Rushikonda. Informing that the hovercrafts are capable of running over both land and water, the officials told that each machine is capable of accommodating four individuals.
With the permissions being granted from various government bodies, the hovercraft rides are expected to be soon operational in Visakhapatnam.
Speaking to Yo! Vizag earlier, Hoverdock Managing Director, D Chaitanya Varma, said, “The hovercrafts, which will be a major tourist attraction, will be the first of its kind in India. We have provided the requisite training for class 2 tug masters for efficiently handling the machines, once they start operating for the public.”
The hovercraft project in Visakhapatnam is a result of a deal struck during the CII Partnership Summit in 2016. The company had procured 4 machines from Russia to give the citizens some enthralling rides over the city’s waters. The tickets would be priced between Rs 300 and Rs 350, it has been learned earlier.
Popular in the countries of Australia, New Zealand, England, and Russia among others, this activity in Vizag will be the first of its kind in India.
