Docked North West ferry to resume operations by August 15

Transport Minister Robeson Benn says the MV Kimbia will return to service by August 15, enabling the full resumption of the ferry service to Region One.

Benn made this disclosure in written responses to questions posed in the National Assembly by APNU MPs Jennifer Wade and Annette Ferguson.

Ferguson asked why there is only one ferry providing service to North West residents once a month and Wade asked about plans to ensure the ferry to Kumaka operates on a fortnightly schedule,
