The ferry route between Banjul and Barra is the busiest in The Gambia – a vital crossing used by thousands of people every day. Now, with the recent delivery of a Damen RoPax 5212 – named Barra – the voyage has become more efficient. Capable of operating at speeds up to 9.5 knots, Barra is able to ferry up to 800 seated passengers and 27 vehicles, or a total of 2,000 passengers across the Gambia River in just 25 minutes. The vessel features hybrid diesel-electric propulsion, enabling low-emission operations and supporting The Gambia’s Recovery-Focused National Development Plan, with its aims to accelerate green economic transformation. #Damen #RoPax #Shipbuilding
