Caustic001: On the international level, coming from Freetown again, we intend to start our coastal ferry service going to Guinea. This, we have believe we’ve crossed the “Ts” and dotted the “Is” and we are going to make sure that when it eventually starts, it is something to behold, is something proper. Now, from operations in Freetown, we have been able to establish in Nigeria where we delivered mass transit going to 5 or 6 different locations from Ikorodu to Lekki, Victoria Island, CMS, Apapa and one other one that we go to. And also, because of the difficulties in importing boats there and the cost of importing boats, we did a backward integration. We invested in the construction of a boat factory; we have 11-acre boat factory in Ibeju-Lekki over the Epe Bridge there which is called “Sierra Craft” where we build vessels. We believe we can build boats over there, using the modern systems to be able to supply to our operations in Lagos and also different parts of the country — South of the country. We are in talks with the government to see how this can be easily done. We are also in talks with certain companies that are looking into doing UBER-style mass transit system in Lagos and its going on pretty well, although we intend to do ours in slightly different way but it opens up the possibilities of what a transport Seacraft is owned by Olusegun Jaji, he's also the owner of Sea Coach water transport in Sierra Leone 3 Likes

They will do well by; 1, Clearing the marine growth, 2, Dredging the waterways, 3. Ensuring maximum safety and security at sea 1 Like |

Sirnuel: I think you need to be there first, plus there are existing ferries before even much more cheaper than this. On this same route. Just I think this is much more safer and comfortable - for now |

Well I can of like this bt they wud have to make it more attractive to people who are not used to such mode of transportation. Also it can’t replace bikes especially for short route journeys. |

The Governor also launched a mobile application designed to facilitate easy access to the water transportation services. @naptu Any idea what this app is called? Nothing on play store |

Maxymilliano:Don't mind them. This was the same thing they did at Oworonshoki jetty inside the back side of the community. Fine jetty with concrete steps. They locked it up and refused to allow the public boats to use it. Later it was concessioned to one construction company, that was doing some work for an oil service firm. It is only the staff of that company and their speedboats, that now use the jetty..... Yèyé govt people. |

naptu2: Have you seen the transport fare for the new boat rides? Badore in Lekki to Maróko in Victoria Island, is to cost 1,000 naira each!! Can you imagine? If you go by road, you will NOT spend half of that amount. Falomo bridge leading down to Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, stretching all the way down to Lekki-Epe expressway, is the busiest and most traffic-ridden route, in Eti-Osa. Gridlocks are acommon feature of that road. I have spent 2-3 hours on just that Ozumba Way, before.... But there is no single boat ride booked to convey people from Falomo to Marókó in Victoria Island, or from Bonny Camp to Lekki/Ajah. Nothing!! Can you imagine how such boat rides would decongest that axis? But the clowns at LAGFERRY and LASWA have refused to explore this option, and give people a respite from the traffic gridlock on that route. When it comes to boat services, LASWA and LAGFERRY act as if the world begins and ends between Lagos Island and Ikorodu. The thunder that will treat their case, is on its way.... 1 Like 1 Share |

NGpatriot: Please, the current governor of Lagos State is an exception to the rule. He has tainted the winning streak of good governors, that Lagos State has had, over the years. His only specialty is pointing his hand and banning Kèke Marwa in 15 local govt areas.......as if the people living and working in that area, did not vote for him, to get to power. Oòshi atí ìranù. |

CeterisXVII: Very misguided and flawed opinion, but you are entitled to it. |
Re: Sanwoolu Launches Lagos Ferry's Commercial Operations. by CeterisXVII: 12:36am On Feb 05, 2020 |
NGpatriot:Nothing misguided about my opinion. A sensible governor would have provided functional ALTERNATIVES to commuters who use Okada and Kèke Marwa, BEFORE banning those two things. He did not. Instead, he subjected people to the suffering of walking over long distances lasting hours, as a result of that ban. CNN mocked us, in their report yesterday. BBC poked fun at our state govt. Then IFC downgraded Nigeria as an investment destination, because of his ill-begotten ban, especially as it affects bike-hailing services. He forgot that local and foreign investors were observing each of his moves.... He even went ahead to release a series of insensitive tweets, mocking their plight. And you want us to think he is a sensible governor, that is not high on Agidigbi weed, sold in Felá's shrine? |

CeterisXVII: 1. Boat transportation takes between 20-30 minutes, by road, it takes 2-3 to 4 hours and the same 2-3 to 4 hours heading home after work. 2. Imagine what you can do with extra 4-6 hours. You don't have to leave home at 4 am or get home at 10 pm 3. I don't know about the other boats out there, but Lagferry is more comfortable, they have better safety features and they are wifi equipped. 4. Lagos state government can not cover the whole of Lagos waterways, investors must go in to supplement the government's effort. |
Re: Sanwoolu Launches Lagos Ferry's Commercial Operations. by CeterisXVII: 12:55am On Feb 05, 2020 |
NGpatriot: Please where did you study your own brand of logistics? Boat operation cost is NOT driven by time spent, but by distance, and amount of fuel consumed, as well as turn around time. From Badore to Maroko, cannot cost 1,000 naira by any stretch of the imagination, but this govt wants to fleece and cheat people. Badore to Ijede is being hiked to 500 by this LAGFERRY people. Tarzan Marine has been running the same route for over 2 years now, with good quality boats, and he charges 200-300 naira, per ride. What is LAGFERRY's problem? It is just a 7-10 minutes ride. They have refused to run the Falomo to Maroko route, because they feel it is not profitable for them...at least that is their excuse. Tarzan ran that route successfully for over 5 years before govt chased him away from there, alleging that they wanted to use the water front. Sooner or later, they will run the scheme aground and give excuses, because they have not positioned their fares in the right manner, which will have a negative impact on their partronage. They may even muzzle out private boat operators on this route that currently charge a much lesser amount. |

CeterisXVII: IMF - Nigeria's Economy Will Attract More Investments Before Year End Stop lying on the IMF because they actually gave us a very rosy and optimistic outlook. The government made a tough decision, but it's definitely the right decision because okada is not sustainable as a safe, effective and realistic mode of transportation. If we truly want a better future, we must pay the price, feel the pain and support the government's effort. How is okada safe for you as a citizen living with millions of okada and okada operators from unknown places on top of the daily tragic accidents? 1 Like |

If they won't exceed the load intended for the ferry like carrying 3 passengers per seat instead of two as am seeing in the pics. People like me that have phobia for anything body of water even if it is inside sink or bucket, what is our fate for transportation? |
