In the sixties and seventies, there was actually a pair of steamers which used to ply between Panaji and Mumbai, carrying loads of passengers on a charming journey along the Konkan coastline. A catamaran service was started by Damania Shipping in 1994, between Mumbai and Goa, using a beautiful Scandinavian-built vessel, with aeroplane-style reclining seats. The trip from Mumbai used to take seven hours to reach Panaji. The catamaran too, travelled around 40 km offshore, giving travellers a glimpse of the palm-fringed Konkan coast. The service was later taken over by another company, Frank Shipping before being closed down due to technical reasons. A new service by Samlink has started in Dec. 2004 and plies thrice weekly from Mumbai to Goa. Departures are at around 9 am and arrivals at around 6.30 in the evening. |
