Tugboat owners to foot cost of repairs after hitting Harbour Bridge

Proprietors of the tugboat that crashed into the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB), dislocating a pontoon anchoring chain last week Friday, have agreed to stand the cost for expenses incurred.

General Manager Wayne Watson, while not disclosing the sum to be repaid, said the DHB corporation has been in contact with the company’s lawyer and they have indicated that they will cover the cost for materials and amounts paid to divers.

Watson explained that a breakdown of the cost was dispatched to the company yesterday and the process is being followed for payments to be made to the DHB corporation.
