The Tulikonge Water Express was inaugurated at Katima Mulilo  in the Zambezi Region to supplement government efforts in water transport.

The boat, valued at more than N$670,000, was assembled out of the desire for affordable recreation and transportation for residents of Katima Mulilo and the region at large.

The boat was assembled locally with local materials, partially funded by the government through the Ministry of Trade and Industrialization, with more than N$201,000 used to purchase one of the two engines and other materials.
