The eagerly awaited expansion of St. John’s Harbour faces yet another setback, with the completion date now pushed to year-end, causing community concerns.
Tourism Minister Charles Max Fernandez shares the apprehension over the shifting deadline, attributing the delay to various factors.
Engaging Blue Horizon for dredging, a move that saved significant costs, has contributed to the postponement.
Despite the company being partly owned by the government, a shift in the dredging depth requirement from 11.8 to 12.3 meters has caused further delays.
Upon completion, Royal Caribbean inspectors will assess the port before allowing Oasis class vessels to dock.
The impending construction of larger Iconic Class ships necessitates additional harbor depth, prompting a debate on the substantial investment required.
Fernandez advocates for a frank discussion on the cost-benefit analysis and the country’s capacity to accommodate cruise visitors without causing disruptions, raising crucial questions for future consideration.

GAsston company responsible for this fiasco once again.
One day you will get tired of GAsston filling his pockets on our dime. When you finally get tired of ass kissing, you will vote accordingly.
Our tax dollars need to be removed from GAsston’s accounts.
