More boat trips scheduled to meet Christmas season demand – Edghill 

Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill has announced that more boat trips have been scheduled to meet the growing demand for transportation services during the Christmas holiday period.

In a video shared on his Facebook page, Edghill said there will be a constant movement of the vessels travelling the Region One (Barima- Waini) route. Those vessels along this route include the MV Kimbia, Ma Lisha, and Barima.

For Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni- Mazaruni), there will be two trips daily during this period. Vessels on the Bartica route will also be used to support the transportation of goods and services to and from the islands of Wakenaam and Leguan, Edghill added.

The MV Sabanto and Kamawan will continue their constant operations along the Parika- Supenaam route. However, the new Aris IV should be added to the Parika circuit fleet by Friday to meet the ever-increasing demand along this route, Edghill highlighted.

Though he disclosed that other vessels are being serviced currently, Edghill opined that the additional scheduled trips and the introduction of the Aris IV should help meet the Christmas season demand.
