REAL NEWS- The dredging activity in the St. John\u2019s Harbour seems to be taking forever, residents say; and it is now expected to cost the taxpayers more money.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The principals of\u00a0Blue Ocean, the\u00a0dredging company, reportedly\u00a0met with the Cabinet on Wednesday, August 24, to discuss the progress being made according to the time-frame given by the Executive.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the hard rock the company\u00a0encountered has disabled both the drill and the engine of\u00a0one of\u00a0its dredging machines. As a result, they had to be repaired \u201cat great cost,\u201d the Cabinet Notes claim.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

The Notes say these setbacks have increased Blue Ocean\u2019s operational cost and will \u201crequire additional payments by the Government\u00a0in order to reach the established deadline.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

No indication of the quantum of these payments was given, however.<\/p>\n

St. John\u2019s Harbour was to have been transformed \u2013 with the turning basin and the channel enlarged \u2013 to prepare Antigua to receive the massive OASIS Class ships. The project should have been completed before the end of 2020 and the vessels should have begun docking here since last year<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

However, since Blue Ocean began the work, it appears to have encountered numerous challenges.<\/p>\n

A Cabinet Note that was posted to Prime Minister Gaston Browne\u2019s Facebook page on March 5, 2020, revealed that the company had encountered similar difficulties with its dredging equipment.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

At that time, it was noted that\u00a0the work had been slowed by the need for superior equipment \u2013 since the engineers had decided that a 40-foot beam was required to get even further below the seabed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Two years ago, the company head also reported that dredging was continuing 24 hours a day; that the piling was 98% complete; and that the pouring of concrete was nearly done. According to his report, then, 20,000 cubic yards of crushed stone were being brought in to stabilize the newly created 12 acres that the Port plan envisions.<\/p>\n

Among other plans, a new dock for the Montserrat Ferry was being constructed, in addition to a new wharf on the northern side of Rat Island for use by the fisherfolk who dock at the Point Wharf, and a 20-foot walkway from the new wharf to Heritage Quay.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the Cabinet also claimed that Blue Ocean had work lined up for it in other Caribbean countries, as well as in Barbuda. However, the company is still engaged in this project in Antigua.<\/p>\n

The controversial \u201cprivate\u201d company NAMCO has a stake in Blue Ocean Marine, out of which the Cabinet had said that profits would flow to Antigua and Barbuda. However, no financial statements for NAMCO have ever been published.<\/p>\n

A government employee tells REAL News he \u201cdoes not believe a word the Cabinet says\u201d with regard to the increase in dredging costs.<\/p>\n

Rather, he says, he \u201cis convinced that the so-called additional payments will become part of the Labour Party\u2019s slush fund\u201d for the upcoming general elections.<\/p>\n
