Sierra Princess Prepares for Service Commencement

 

 

Westminster Group Plc ('Westminster', the 'Group' or the 'Company'), the AIM listed supplier of managed services and technology based security solutions to governments and government agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGO's) and blue chip commercial organisations worldwide, is pleased to announce that its ferry division, Sovereign Ferries, is preparing for commencement of its long awaited ferry service in Sierra Leone, West Africa.

 

In country registration formalities, sea trials and International safety compliance checks have all been completed. Proving passages are now underway, carrying trial passengers on the designated routes between terminals to ensure timetable accuracy, and loading and unloading operations are being tested to ensure that they are smooth and efficient so that passenger transfer and comfort is assured. Terminals are being prepared for operations and terminal staff undergoing customer service training.

 

Timetables are being finalised to co-ordinate with airline schedules which will be displayed on the Sovereign Ferries website in due course. Formal commencement of services will begin following VIP and Ministerial voyages later this month ready for the heightened December passenger flows.
