New northwest ferry on its way from India

The MV Ma Lisha

The MV Ma Lisha, the ocean-going cargo-cum-passenger ferry vessel which was built in India departed for Guyana three days ago and is expected to arrive here by early March.

“The North West Ferry, I am very happy to inform you that it set sail from India for Guyana three days back….. So maybe by end of February, first week in March we should have it in Guyana,” Indian High Commissioner, Dr K J Srinivasa told Stabroek News during an interview yesterday.

Speaking after the commemoration of India’s 73rd anniversary as a Republic, Srinivasa said a vessel has been chartered to carry the MV Ma Lisha, which is expected to arrive in Trinidad by the end of February. “…..It is high seas. So it’s riding piggyback….From Trinidad it’s going to sail on its own to Guyana,” he said.
