The 70-metre ferry earmarked for Region One (Barima-Waini) that is under construction by an Indian company on a line of credit from India is expected to be delivered by October of this year.
Last year, a keel-laying ceremony was held for the ferry in India, where it is being built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE). At the ceremony, it had been announced that works on the vessel, which will traverse Region One, were well underway.
The Auditor General Report of 2020, in fact, has further details on the project, since auditors had enquired from the Public Works Ministry about it. The Ministry informed the auditors that based on the latest progress report, the ferry was scheduled to be delivered by October 2022.
