Two floatels at Gateway of India to start operations from Monday
From Monday, Mumbaikars will be able to dine to live band and gig performances mid-sea near the Gateway of India, in the south of the city. Two floating hotels similar to that anchored near the Bandra-Worli Sea-link (BWSL) are going to starting its operations near the Gateway of India. The launch will enable tourists and citizens to dine while sailing along the eastern coastline of the city.
The two floating hotels are an initiative of the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT). The trust has appointed a private operator for running the two floating hotels for a period of 15 years.
Similarly, in 2017, three floating hotels were started near the BWSL of which only two are functioning. One had capsised earlier this year.
The two floatels will be innagurated by Union Minister for Shipping Nitin Gadkari. The two floatels will be anchored at the Gateway of India, and will allow sailing between the Gateway of India and Victoria Docks followed by Elephanta caves and Kanhoji island.
The floating restaurants have an upper and a lower deck with two bars and one restaurant that will allow visitors to book it for lunch hours, dinners, and for private parties and weddings. The operators of the two floatels have said that they will start their operations on Monday after its launch on Saturday.
Shripriya Dalmia Thirani, owner of the two floatels said, "We brought the two vessels from Istanbul and refurbished them, to use them as floatels. Both of them are around 10-years-old, and we are expecting a good amount of takers. We will have an international cuisine followed by live band performances and gigs for visitors."
Thirani added, "We have permissions for having the two floatels open till early morning hours but currently are focusing at keeping it open between 12 noon and 12 midnight. The two will be anchored at Gateway of India, and for private bookings like parties and weddings, they will be docked at Victoria docks due to availability of space for parking there."
As of now, the operators have said that the rate for visiting the floating hotels start with a cover charge of Rs 2,500, and it further depends on the individuals looking to spend. The operators are appointed by MbPT for boosting coastal tourism in the city, and for which a revenue sharing model has also been kept.
Sanjay Bhatia, Chairman MbPT said, "The operator for the two floating hotels will have to share 17 per cent and 12 per cent gross revenue respectively from the total earnings. For now, two are starting at Gateway of India, and one more floating hotel will come up near Marine Drive."
The operators of the two floatels said they expect around three for the business to take off, and reach break-even point in the next three years. Lastly, in terms of security and safety of visitors, the operators said they have floaters, 500 life jackets, and small boats for rescue of the visitors onboard, in case of emergency.

Argentine Navy submarine found partially 'imploded' after yearlong search
The Argentine Navy submarine that went missing a year ago off the country's Atlantic Coast was found by a private company involved in what had been a massive search for the vessel and its 44-member crew, the defense ministry said in a news conference on Saturday.
The ARA San Juan submarine was discovered by marine tracking contractor Ocean Infinity, 907 meters (2,975 feet) below the ocean surface. The vessel was found in an underwater canyon with its tail partially "imploded," Argentina's Defense Minister Carlos Aguad said.
Given the poor visibility at the site, the ministry said it only had preliminary information about the state of the submarine, which was scattered in pieces on the ocean floor.
Aguad could neither confirm nor deny if the vessel could be recovered, but said the government did "not have the means to extract the submarine."
The disappearance gripped the nation's attention as the government struggled to provide information about the tragedy. Relatives of the crew still have questions.
"We have found them," Jorge Villarreal, father of one crew member told local radio. "Now we are going to search for the truth. For us this is the start of a new chapter."
Aguad said: "Much of what happens from here will have to be resolved by the justice department. If there is someone responsible, they will be held responsible."
At the time of the disappearance, the Navy said water that had entered the submarine's snorkel caused its battery to short-circuit.
Naval officials said international organizations helping to search for the missing vessel a year ago detected a noise that could have been the submarine imploding, just two hours after its last contact.
The first anniversary of the submarine's disappearance was commemorated at the Mar del Plata naval base on Nov. 15, with President Mauricio Macri in attendance.
The crew had been ordered to return to Mar del Plata on the country's east coast. But the vessel was never heard from again.
*AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLES*
Ocean Infinity, a U.S. company that can search and map the seabed, was hired by Argentina following the failure of an international operation to find the vessel after it went missing in the South Atlantic.
Ocean Infinity used five autonomous underwater vehicles to carry out the search, according to a statement from the company.
"Our thoughts are with the many families affected by this terrible tragedy. We sincerely hope that locating the resting place of the ARA San will be of some comfort to them," the statement said.
The San Juan was some 430 km (270 miles) off Argentina's Patagonian coast when it sent its last signal.
The disaster spurred soul-searching over the state of the military in Argentina, which after a series of financial crises has one of Latin America's smallest defense budgets relative to the size of its economy. Some families of missing crew members blamed the government for underfunding the Navy.
Argentina learned a harsh lesson of submarines' military value during the 1982 Falklands War, when a British sub sank the ARA General Belgrano cruiser. It was the only major ship Argentina lost in the war over the disputed Falkland Islands, which Argentina calls the Malvinas.

NEVER FORGET 26/11: Mumbai police active participant in coastal security upgrades
Ten years ago, ten Pakistani gunmen entered Mumbai via sea route and launched a deadly attack on Mumbai's soil. It has been ten years and the state and central administration are still trying to plug-in the loopholes in the coastal policing.
After 26/11, a major security flaw that came to the fore was porous coastal security. Neither the Indian Navy nor the Coast Guard had intelligence on the 26/11 attack. This called for immediate measures to strengthen the country's coastline.
The Mumbai Police had set up a dedicated Marine Policing Unit and for the first time, its jurisdiction included waters.
In order to add teeth to the Marine Unit, the police had purchased speedboats and sea-legs amphibian boats for sea patrolling.
The state police had also created a dedicated post of Inspector General Coastal Security, who would be a nodal officer to coordinate with Indian Navy and Coast Guard.
The Mumbai police, along with the Coast Guard and the Navy, organises a quarterly Sagar Kavach operation to check the preparedness of these agencies to safeguard the coastline. In his operation, dummy terrorists are tasked to sneak into the city via sea.
"Operations like Sagar Kavach has time and again resulted that dummy terrorists had managed to sneak in the city and gained vantage points. We then analyse the drawbacks and derive measures that needs to be taken to secure our coastline,"said a police officer.
The city police had recently written a proposal to the government asking for sanctioning of dedicated five police stations in the city's 149 kilometre coastline. The task of these police stations would be to do census of fishermen, collect Intelligence and brief government about threats from Coast route and not investigate conventional crimes.
In addition, the Maharashtra Police has sent a proposal to the state government asking for sanctioning of Intermediate Support Vessels (ISV) for bolstering it's coastal policing. The existing Fast Patrol Vessels (FPV) with the police can stay at sea for around five hours, while ISVs can stay at sea for seven days and can reach up to 200 nautical miles, police said.
"Maharashtra has a coastline of 720 kilometre and 842 kilometre creek area. For effective monitoring of coastline, coastal security and fishermen security ISV is the need of the hour," said a police officer.
