Bangladesh Western Marine to build ferry for Uganda

Staff Correspondent, Ctg

Western Marine Shipyard has bagged an order to build a ferry for the Uganda government. 

The 33-metre long ferry will be used to carry up to 120 passengers and 16 cars on the inland waterways of the African nation, especially in Lake Kyoga, Western Marine said in a statement yesterday.

The project is worth around Tk 24 crore and the shipbuilder expects to deliver it in 12 months.

Western Marine delivered a passenger ferry to Tanzania in October 2014. The company also delivered similar ships to Denmark, Pakistan and to the Bangladesh government.

Currently, the company is building an offshore patrol vessel for the Kenyan Department of Fisheries.
