As a part of its mandate to provide quality and safe service to the Guyanese public, the Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD) said yesterday that repair works are to be conducted on motor vessels, Kimbia and Sandaka.
The T&HD, which falls under the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, stated that the MV Kimbia and MV Sandaka were docked on Wednesday last at the Guyana National Industrial Corporation (GNIC) and the T&HD Mazaruni Dockyard respectively.
With regards to MV Kimbia, the estimated cost of repairs is pegged at $107M. The vessel, which plies the Georgetown to Kumaka, Region One route, is set to undergo general docking and rehabilitation works to its hull, on-board machinery, and underwater fittings, along with other repairs. GNIC has been contracted to rehabilitate the vessel and this is scheduled to last six weeks.
Meanwhile, the estimated repairs cost for MV Sandaka is $33M. The vessel, which plies the Leguan to Parika route, is expected to undergo general docking as well as repairs to its super structure, underwater fittings, hull, machinery and other areas. Courtney Benn Contracting Services Limited has been contracted for the job, which will last some four weeks.
Earlier this week, Lady Northcote, which usually plies the Georgetown to Port Kaituma, Region One Route, was undocked after being almost two months out of action. The cost of its rehabilitation was approximately $145M.
