Kalangala Infrastructure Services (KIS) the company developing infrastructure and transport services on Bugala Island under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with the Government of Uganda has delivered the second and final ferry that will provide marine transportation services between Bukakata in Masaka and Luuku landing site on Bugala Island.
The soon to be commissioned MV Ssese, arrived at Port bell on the 24th December for a seaworthiness inspection by the Ministry of Works after sailing from the port of Mwanza in Tanzania where it was fabricated.
Speaking at Port Bell in the out skirts of Kampala, John Opiro the Managing Director of KIS said, “Delivery of the second ferry is tangible evidence of our ability to deliver on our promises and that the project is reaching the maturity stage thereby increasingly benefiting the islands inhabitants. The power plant is already serving parts of Kalangala town, the road is being worked upon and the water project is already serving a large portion of the islands residents. We are confident that once all the four project components have been completed, Bugala Island will be a very different place with infrastructure and services comparable with those on the mainland.
