| ST GEORGE’S, Grenada — With the gradual resolution to a number of logistical issues, the date for the launch of the Caribbean’s new inter-island ferry service, will soon be announced.
In a statement on Wednesday, Benjamin Ross, CEO of the Grenada-based owners and operators of the service, BEDY Ocean Lines, said his company has been making significant progress with a number of logistical matters, which had accounted for earlier delays in the start of the service, and is now looking forward to bringing the people of the Eastern Caribbean and beyond, a safe and reliable mode of transportation that provides all their travel solutions.
In the company statement, Ross apologised to the people of the region for the unavoidable delay, and reiterated that the service was “still very much on stream”.
The new ferry service, which will see inter-island passengers paying one-third of the current airfare for travel to the islands by air, will be offered to residents of Barbados, St Vincent, St Lucia, Trinidad and Grenada.
Initially, the company’s two vessels, which are passenger speed boats, will each have a seating capacity ranging from 260 to 300. One of the vessels will make St Vincent its home and will service the St Vincent to Barbados and St Lucia routes, while the second ferry will be based in Grenada and will service the Grenada to Trinidad and Barbados route.
