Westminster Group’s (LON:WSG) new ferry project in Sierra Leone is expected to start next month (September) as a part on its flagship vessel needs to be repaired.
One of the prop shafts on its flagship vessel is out of line and is being returned to the UK to be fixed.
The repair is expected to take around 15 days to complete.
Peter Fowler, chief executive, said: "Whilst we are disappointed that this issue means our expected commencement of operations has slipped into September, as previously stated, safety and reliability are our primary concerns and it is preferable to identify and correct any such problems prior to commencement rather than disrupt services later.”
"In parallel, we continue to work with the government on the development and upgrading of various terminals and jetties not just for the airport transfer service but also to accommodate a fast water taxi service around the capital and further afield."
