The high-speed vessels, which can take 52 passengers with three crew members, will replace "dug-out" canoes, currently used for transporting people across Lake Volta.
The ferries, which are 14m in long and 4.2m wide, will be equipped with safety features, which will come as a novelty for those travelling across the lake.
