Catamarans donated to fishermen
Special Correspondent (Friday, Jun 17, 2005 )
CHENNAI: The AMM Murugappa Chettiar Research Centre handed over two high-density polyethylene (HDPE) catamarans to fishermen belonging to the fishing hamlets of Tiruvanmiyur and Injambakkam.
"These catamarans are specifically designed to withstand harsh marine environments and can move fast even in rough seas. They are more durable than wooden ones and have a design life of over 25 years. They are based on a tried and tested technology," said M. V. Murugappan, chairman of the centre, while handing over the catamarans here on Thursday.
Each sail-mounted catamaran weighed 240 kg and cost Rs. 35,000. They could also be motorised after modifications and could carry three persons in addition to 500 kg, including fishing nets. The centre also offered insurance for the catamarans and the fishermen.
Similar catamarans had also been handed over to fishermen in Cuddalore and Nagapattinam, Mr. Murugappan said.
P.N. Raju, acting director of the centre, was present.
