On 15th February, 2019, the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) launched a new portal named LADIS – Least Available Depth Information System for real-time information on available depth on stretches of National Waterways. The information will help better planning for movement of vessels.

LADIS will ensure that real-time data on least available depths is disseminated for ship/barge and cargo owners so that they can undertake transportation on NWs in a more planned way.
The portal, hosted on IWAI’s website www.iwai.nic.in has been developed in-house. Initially, LAD information will be available for NW-1, NW-2, India-Bangladesh Protocol route and NW-3, along with the date of the survey. The facility will be expanded to other NWs also.
IWAI has designed LADIS to facilitate the day-to-day operations of inland vessels plying on National Waterways and to avoid any hindrance in service and operation.
Vessel operators/ cargo owners will prepare their sailing plans strictly as per applicable waterways related information (Hydrographic survey reports, River Notices etc.) available on IWAI’s website.
