LONDON (Alliance News) - Westminster Group PLC said Tuesday repairs on its Sierra Queen ferry should commence within the next week, after having waited for access to the slip for two weeks.
Westminster Group said on April 7 that its flagship vessel, the Sierra Queen, sustained some minor damage from an uncharted submerged obstacle while transiting between terminals in Sierra Leone. Westminster Group had said at the time the vessel was moored in the boat yard, awaiting access to the slip, which Westminster Group said would be vacated "within 7 to 10 days".
On Tuesday, Westminster Group said the works on the vessel occupying the slip "should be completed this week" and, once cleared, the Sierra Queen ferry will be loaded and repairs can commence.
Westminster Group provides security services to governments, non-governmental organisations and blue-chip commercial organisations worldwide.
Shares in Westminster Group were down 1.5% at 10.71 pence on Tuesday.
