Seasonal Constraints |
During the rainy season, the Cavalla river is prone to overflowing its banks and also the current is a lot stronger during the rains. This increase in the currant temporarily ruptures the boat service between the two countries. There is a privately-owned motorboat with capacity of 25 passengers which is used to cross the river. The Liberian cellular network has no coverage at this border crossing point. |
Daily Capacity
During the dry season when the motorboat can function, there is an average of 35 people who are crossing between the two countries per day.
