CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet invited a Civil and Coastal Engineer to report on the site for the new cargo dock, to be built on the south side of Barbuda.
The river dock has been deemed inappropriate for large cargo vessels since it is vulnerable, surrounded by sand.
A new dock to be built on bedrock about a quarter mile away is more appropriate, the coastal engineer told the Cabinet.
Three major studies are yet to be carried out: a.
A Seabed Composition;
b. A Geotechnical Study;
c. A Maintenance Plan to avoid siltation.
When a detailed plan is developed, a meeting with the Barbuda Council is sure to follow.
