Yes it is true - just been on the new ferry between Betim and Panjim. Counted 30 Life Belts
today - (wonder how many will be there next week) no holes in the floor and no rusty old chain to pull up the ramp. Speed of 6 knots and only took 4 minutes to get across.
Still the same old seaside frog mentality though - lets all park our bikes across the ferry exit and stop them getting off then we can all rush on first. Why on earth there is no kind of barrier to stop this stampede to get on is beyond me - never known people turned away because it is full
pleased to hear they have a newferry the ferry were use to catching had had its days lol
but yes the bikes are a pain in the ass and the smell of petrol when they all start there engines is terrible Infact come to think of it god knows why we even go on the dam boat but we do around six times a year every year Must be goan crazy

The name of the new ferry is Madgao - (the old name for Margao//Madgaon) but misread it as Madgoa - which would be more appropriate for what is happening now in Goa.
