New Chinese vessel makes first commercial trip

its about time i hope next week they will not pull it to dry dock for repair and check back the cost for the stelling and add in the extra for all the bad work that brokeup ben do

stop being a pessimist "warrior"...the new ferry is of great assistance to the residents of the essequibo coast.

“A lot of commuters were awaiting the operation of the two new ferries…these boats will be making initially one trip each per day…this will significantly improve the traffic destined to and from Wakenaam, Supenaam and Parika,”

As much as I'd like to say this is great for the Guyanese people, I'd also like to say that anything Made In China..is crap.

90% of what you wear and 50% of what you drive was made in China. So stop yuh crap!

Yo Cain, So that mean you were made in China since everytime you open your mouth CRAP comes out. Ever saw Shangai, Beijing, The Great Wall??????

Not true, you perhaps but your truly tries his best to stay away from anything made from that place. Dem people used to say,

Cheap ting..no good.

No good ting, cheap.

Banna, back in the days they may have made things properly, but it seems as though anything made nowadays by China, especially when it's for export, is cheap crap.

They does shaft us good.

You know I was goin to tell you to shut yo rass but, nahhhh.

By the way, is probably cheap chinee beer you rass had during Pangalang nite that gave you the hangover

or was it a cheap Chinese ting that did it?

The Chinese can make anything now.  America better watch out. Soon China will make an IMF and World Bank and America will be its biggest client.

with a total of 46 passengers, 9 trucks, 3 canters and 2 cars

The reporter should tell us how long it takes the new ferry to travel from Parika to Supernaam.  That's important information for readers and travelers.

Where did the gentleman say the ferry were not a necessity for the People? His apprehensions are to the purchase of expensive decommissioned Chinese vessels when you could do far better by buying two for one from say washington state where they have very good crafts meeting the need of the people for swift, efficient, easily maintained crafts. These monstrosities are a resource leeches to this point since they demand too be put into use.

The Sabanto and Kanawan were added to the fleet of vessels used by the Ministry of Public Works to boost its water transportation services as each has a seating capacity of 800 and a decking capacity of 20 Lorries or 44 cars, along with a modern VIP lounge.
