The Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) will be establishing an office at Charity, Pomeroon by the end of the first quarter of this year.
The office will facilitate boat owners and operators from the surrounding areas, and from Moruca.
A team from MARAD visited the area on March 3, 2015 and met with boat operators and other stakeholders in the area. Twenty one (21) boat operators attended the meeting, along with the Assistant Regional Executive Officer of Region One, Gerald Rodrigues.
MARAD officials said that this meeting is part of a sensitization and safety awareness campaign that included discussing issues relating to the licensing and registering of vessels, and the certification of captains. Several matters of concern were raised by the boat operators, in particular their desire to have timely access to the department’s services.
Rodrigues urged the operators to get themselves and their vessels certified once the office is up and running.
In addition, a total of forty eight (48) children and adult life jackets were handed over to the District Education Officer of Region One, Ignatius Adams.
Adams thanked MARAD and promised to distribute the jackets to schools in the riverain areas so as to improve their safety while traversing the waterways.
MARAD has pledged to continue its safety campaign throughout the country and the distribution of life jackets in keeping with its mandate.
