Graphic: Invest Guyana News, based on the Transport and Harbours Department’s 12 November notice.
The Transport and Harbours Department said on 12 November that only side-loading vessels were being used at Parika Stelling while crews repair its roll-on/roll-off loading bridge and pontoon. The equipment was damaged in an accident, according to the Ministry of Public Works and T&HD notice. The statement does not give revised sailing times, cargo limits or a date for restoring roll-on/roll-off loading.
Check before sending a vehicle
Check FerryPass for listed trips, then confirm with the Transport and Harbours Department whether your specific sailing can take your vehicle and cargo. Give the operator your vehicle type and gross weight before dispatching a truck. A departure appearing in the booking system does not establish that every vehicle or load can board under the temporary arrangement.
FerryPass separately displays a 15-tonne gross-vehicle-weight notice for loading-bridge access. The banner does not establish which limits apply to each side-loading vessel under the 12 November notice. Ask the operator which restrictions apply to your trip; do not treat the banner as a new rule announced after the accident.
The emergency repairs are separate from October’s update on construction of the new stelling and its diversion route. The earlier report on heavier cargo access should not be read as confirmation that the same loads can be carried during the current repairs.
