The Marine Police and Railways Unit of the Ghana Police Service, has taken delivery of a retrofitted marine patrol boat built by Benlex Engineering and Marine Systems to aid its sea patrol activities.
The patrol boat belonging to the Marine Police unit, had been dysfunctional for some time and the CEO of Vision 2000, chose to sponsor the repair works.
The Inspector General of Police, David Asante-Appeatu revealed at a handing over ceremony that the boat has been tested, and is in great shape to commence its patrol duties.
He said, the collaboration between the Benlex Engineering and the Ghana Police is going to continue because the Police Service are in the process of procuring new boats to better equip the service to ensure security on Ghana’s territorial waters.
