Wednesday evening a private owned pontoon came to the rescue of the stranded truckers at the Parika Stelling. However, the pontoon couldn’t transport all 35 trucks but 12 of them and two Canters and an excavator finally got to go home.
Thursday night, the MV Torani began transportation services and was transporting about seven trucks and 10 small vehicles. However, eight truckers had to endure another day at the Stelling, making it a week stranded.
Although, the pontoon and the MV Torani are working, there are still a considerable number of trucks at the Stelling because many who were carrying goods to Georgetown have returned and there is a backlog of about 20 vehicles.
Mr. Mohan Lall, who was one of the fortunate truckers to finally get home by boarding the Torani, said that a comrade of his, Mr. Rajesh Rampersaud, has informed him that there is a backlog of about 50 trucks on the Essequibo Coast.
On Thursday, Cabinet Secretary Dr Roger Luncheon said that there will continue to be a problem because of the docking of one of the ferry vessels.
