-CARICOM ferry project still to set sail
Guyana requires a holistic plan on the waterway transportation needs for this country and President Irfaan Ali has tasked five of his ministers along with technical teams to conduct an analysis so that his government can aptly plan for the future, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill says.
This initiative, according to Edghill, is separate from the CARICOM-planned ferry service and a private sector project under the Connect Caribe consortium. “A group has been established… to be able to get a full understanding of what our waterway transport needs would be for the future. Whether it would be for movement of people, tourism, export/import activities, and other uses such as supplying building materials throughout the country,” Edghill told Stabroek News last week.
