Minister guarantees Praia d'Aguada ship will be operational in "short time"
The Minister for the Sea gave assurances on Saturday 20, on the island of Maio, that the Praia d'Aguada ship should be operational in a "short space of time", once the technical and administrative procedures underway have been completed.
In statements to the press, Jorge Santos explained that the vessel was already scheduled to leave the shipyards in São Vicente, but its entry into operation was postponed in order to comply with certification criteria required by the Maritime and Port Institute (IMP).
"The Praia d'Aguada will reinforce the Praia-Fogo-Brava-Maio line, or Maio-Praia-Fogo-Brava, in a short space of time. It's a ship with all the safety conditions to operate in any port in the south, regardless of the ramps," he said.
Jorge Santos acknowledged that the Praia d'Aguada will be able to operate in any port in the south.
Jorge Santos acknowledged the anxiety of people, especially in the southern islands, about the ship's return, stressing the importance of the Praia d'Aguada for the regular transport of people and goods.
According to the minister, the government is committed to ensuring that the ship starts operating as soon as possible, while ensuring all the required safety and certification standards.
