The Collector, Nagapattinam has stated in his letter read above that the return of normalcy to the operation of mechanical vessels in Nagapattinam depends on the availability of pettis. Unlike other places Nagapattinam does not have a boat yard. A petti is a wooden box frame structure built by individual operators and used in the repair and maintenance of mechanical vessels. He has stated that their significance in the operations is due to :- (i) The damaged vessels recovered but still floating in water in port area can be brought ashore for repair works only if these pettis are available. (ii) The damaged vessels recovered and placed on the shore through cranes, after repair works are carried out, can be put in the sea through these equipments only and after repair, if the vessels are put to sea through cranes, the repair if any during the lifting and dropping process may reduce the sea worthiness of the vessel.

He has suggested that the operators may be given relief and associated linkages, in order to restore normalcy quickly. He has therefore requested the government to sanction an assistance of 35% subsidy and 65% loan for each of the 40 odd pettis by linking them to banks. 4. The proposal of the Collector, Nagapattinam was placed before the State Level Committee on Calamity Relief Fund Schemes in its Meeting held on and the Committee decided to sanction a sum of Rs.10.5 lakhs towards 35% subsidy for 40 pettis at the unit cost of Rs.75,000/-. 5.
