A new Ro-Pax ferry service, described as the first of its kind in the Comoros, was launched on the island of Anjouan on September 12. The new service was introduced by Serdal International, a joint venture between Abu Dhabi-based AD Ports Group and the investment company Resources Investment.
In a statement, AD Ports said it is part of the country's ongoing economic and development initiatives to strengthen regional integration in East Africa. The service will be managed by AD Ports Group subsidiary Noatum Maritime.
The route will link the Port of Moroni on the main island of Grande Comore with the town of Mutsamudu on the island of Anjouan. The service will be provided by the vessel Yameela, which has capacity for up to 190 passengers and 45 vehicles.
Abdulaziz Zayed Al Shamsi, Chief Executive Officer of Serdal International, stated that the company is pleased to introduce a safe and dependable public water transportation service to the Comoros.
