The Government of Montserrat recognizes the importance of sea transport, particularly during the peak periods, but regrettably was unable to provide continued service at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Access Division wishes to thank members of the public for their patience and understanding as the Division continues to make every effort to provide safe, reliable, and affordable access & connectivity to and from Montserrat.<\/p>

The Division also expresses thanks and appreciation to the V2V Empress Crew, and the stakeholders from Antigua & Barbuda, St Kitts & Nevis and Montserrat for the service they\u2019ve provided to the Government and people of Montserrat. <\/p>
