Explanation
The Portal for Asset and Navigation Information (PANI) is an integrated digital platform developed by the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways.
- Statement 1 is correct: PANI serves as a unified platform that compiles and provides comprehensive river navigation and infrastructure information to various stakeholders.
- Statement 2 is correct: It provides detailed, real-time, and historical data regarding the features of National Waterways, including fairway availability (depth and width), bathymetric surveys, dredging details, and infrastructure like jetties, terminals, and pontoons. This helps cargo owners and shippers plan their logistics efficiently.
- Statement 3 is incorrect: While the Inland Vessels Act, 2021 promotes a uniform regulatory regime across India (often described as "One Nation, One Law" for inland vessels), PANI is primarily an information dissemination portal.
