PANI is a digital service by IWAI that provides key systematic and aggregated River and Navigation information related to National Waterways in India for facilitating transportation of cargo and other vessels through National Waterways. This will help in better understanding of the key features of the NW that are essential for decision making on use of waterways mode for transportation.
Assets and Navigation Information
PANI provides detailed information on various waterways in India such as fairway (LAD, etc.), infrastructure facility (jetties, pontoons, cargo handling equipment, storage facilities), cross river structures (bridge locations locks, barrages), connectivity at jetties, emergency services for facilitating transportation of cargo and other vessels through inland waterways.
The portal uses BHARAT maps for easy accessibility and navigation. The Least Available Depth (LAD) across different segments, for various time periods can be seen. The location of Infrastructure facilities, Cross waterway structures, navigation aids can also be seen on a map.
The user can enter an expected date of journey, the required draught, vertical and horizontal clearing and the system will use historical data to predict the feasibility. For actual execution however, the navigation charts need to be used.
