The Robben Island Museum has announced that its new ferry will be in the water in two or three month’s time.
The Museum, during November and December, had to turn away thousands of booked visitors due to mechanical failures of their aging ferries.
The Island museum management said that the new 300-seater ferry would be ready at the end of February, or start of March.
Shoni Khangala, spokesperson for the Robben Island museum, said that the building of the ferry should come to an end in a month or two.
The museum has however managed to clear the backlog of bookings.
Khangala is reported as saying that demand during Easter picks up a bit due to domestic tourism. Their peak season is November and February.
