Cochin Port Trust has denied reports
Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies (Kufos) has reiterated that it will study claims about the formation of land close to the Kochi shipping channel, about 20 km off the coast. University sources said on Monday that the study would be launched after the monsoon season with the help of the National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR) in Chennai. The feasibility of the study was discussed at a recent meeting of the university officials and it was decided that it could be undertaken after the rains. There have been reports of fresh land formation close to the shipping channel but the Cochin Port Trust has denied the claims. Port Trust sources had earlier said that ships moved through the area and the vessels had no problems in sailing the waters.
