Westminster Group to start Sierra Leone ferry service on Dec 9

Westminster Group said its Sierra Leone-based Sovereign Ferries unit would start services between the airport and capital city of Freetown on December 9.

The company on Monday said national registration formalities, sea trials and international safety compliance checks had all been completed.

“Trial passages with passengers, both on land and sea, have proved very successful. Terminals and associated infrastructure have been made ready and the company has taken delivery of two modern luxury air conditioned coaches ready to provide an integrated professional transfer link between airport and ferry terminals,” it said.

Westminster added that it would expand its range of services and routes and was also in discussions for extra regional routes which could start in 2017.
