The Ship Ticket Availability Display system developed by NIC Lakshadweep Unit for the Lakshadweep administration office, Kochi displays the availability of ship tickets for all the five passenger ships from Kochi and Kozhikode to the Lakshadweep group of islands. The scheduled ship programes, changes in schedules and other important notices are fetched from the ship ticketing database and displayed to the public. This provides transparency in the ship ticketing system and benefits a large number of passengers traveling to the islands. Before the introduction of this system the only way to know the ticket availability was to enquire in the ticket counter or to check the availability in the Internet. The new system benefits the passengers who don’t have access to the Internet and also benefits the passengers standing in the queue. The system shall be subsequently introduced in all the Port offices in Lakshadweep islands.
