In furtherance of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration to improve water transportation, the Lagos Ferry Services, LAGFERRY, took deliveries of six Units of Yamaha 300Hp Ultra Long Outboard 4-Stroke Engines to boost the efficiency of Lagos Ferry Operations.

The quality addition will be immediately installed to increase the engine capacities of MV Ejirin, MV Ipakodo and MV Alausa to 600Hp per boat and increase their cruising speed by 40%.

This means that, these bigger boats will complete a journey of 23Km (Ikorodu - Lagos Island) within 40 minutes instead of 70 minutes.
