and carry passengers and

vehicles.

Two ships,

"Bongos Uno" and "Bongos Dos"

transport cargo only:

All of these vessels are in very poor condition

and are continually having to be towed to port from the

middle of their crossing because of serious break-downs

In their machinery. Repairs needed are urgent but it

Impossible to effect them Immediately because of the

lack of replacement parts.

The one most

experiencing break-downs

Is the largest,

This

ferry can carry 900 to
