Enthusiastic passengers yesterday set off on a 15-hour journey to Kumaka on the new $2.5b India-built northwest ferry, MV MA Lisha.
The vessel which carried in excess of 250 passengers did not depart Georgetown at 4 pm as anticipated but instead left at around 5.06 pm due to some delays. This is its inaugural trip with passengers.
Before its departure Stabroek News spoke with several passengers to garner their thoughts and feelings on embarking on the voyage.
