One salient point of this draft Navigation Bill is to convert old Light Houses into tourist spots. It will not only generate revenue but will generate people's interest in otherwise lesser known sphere. I remember enjoying beautiful view of sea beach from top of Vizhinjam Light House. Being a technical person I could also see how a lighthouse works. How their lenses look like and how they transmit light at a fixed frequency. How they communicate emergency situations to vessels in high seas

The wreckage tagging is very important to avoid collisions in high seas. All wreckage shall be tagged through their location on sea map so that all vessels entering in Indian waters get notified of the same. If the technology permits, depth of highest point of wreckage shall also be notified. In any case all wreckage shall be removed as early as possible.

Navigation bill shall make provision for strict vigil on movement of vessels in Indian territory. All Indian registered vessels shall be identified and their movement shall be logged through GPS. Any movement of vessels not registered in India shall be identified so that 26/11 type incident is not repeated. All vessels shall be mapped similar as Air Traffic Controller keeps track of all the aeroplanes flying in their territory.
