}} | MV Mwanza is a Lake Victoria ferry operating on Lake Victoria in Tanzania. The ferry is a Ro-Pax ferry that operates between the villages of Kigongo and Busisi south of Mwanza town across the Mwanza Gulf in east-west direction. MV Mwanza is not the only ferry along the route (there are three other ferries) which highlights the relevance of the ferry service.[2]The ferry, now the largest Ro-Pax ferry on Lake Victoria, has two decks for vehicles and goods (main deck and boat deck) and an indoor passenger deck with seats.[1] It was constructed by a local Tanzanian construction company in Mwanza, Songoro Marine Transport Ltd.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 {{cite web|url=https://www.bairdmaritime.com/work-boat-world/passenger-vessel-world/3399-review-mwanza-tanzanian-built-ro-pax-for-lake-victoria|title=VESSEL REVIEW: Mwanza – Tanzanian-built Ro-Pax for Lake Victoria|magazine=WORK BOAT WORLD|publisher=Baird Maritime|date=27 September 2018|accessdate=27 September 2018}}
