We expect that once the contract is signed, very soon&#8230;Within six months, the new ferry; the type of Kunta Kinteh, would be delivered,\u201d the Managing Director of the Gambia Ports Authority (GPA), Mr. Ousman Jobarteh, told a press conference on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>He revealed that the Ministry of Transport has also engaged government authorities about the need for a second ferry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ministry of Transport has also engaged with government authorities and the conscious decision was taken and GPA was informed to go for a second ferry. So in this contract, we are going to buy two new ferries instead of one,\u201d the GPA boss explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea is that once ADB funds one of the ferries with grant, if there is any funding gap, the GPA would have to intervene and talk to the contractor on financing arrangement so that new ferries will be delivered for ferry service along Banjul\/Barra,\u201d Mr. Jobarteh further explained.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that the GPA fully understands the onus placed on the Authority to ensure safer and more reliable ferry service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is our intention to ensure that the traveling public has access to go about their daily activities and the ferries form a vital component because of the nature of the country.
