Ro-Ro Ferry service, a dream come true for people of Gujarat: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated the first phase of the Ghogha-Dahej Ro-Ro ferry service, a first-of-its-kind project in India, calling it "a landmark occasion for entire South-East Asia".

Describing it as his dream project, Modi said the ferry service was his "invaluable gift to India" and claimed that the even for South-East Asia, this was the first project of its size. 

He said it were his efforts that gave birth to this ferry service which he had heard about only in his school days. 

"It seems implementation of all good works are my luck," Modi joked. "New changes don't come from cliched attitude but new thinking. We changed the way of thinking," he said.

He said the service would shorten a 360-km distance to 31 km or a journey of seven hours to one hour.
