Mv Malali operating on single engine

Apr 22, 2009 News

The MV Malali on which the woman died in the ambulance is the means by which patients from Suddie Hospital who need urgent attention are transported to the West Demerara Regional Hospital or to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
The boat has been limping on one engine for several months now and no one is able to say what the reason is for such a long delay in having the engine fixed.
Meanwhile, commuters using the service claim that although the fixtures for the service claim to be tide related, on many occasions the boat crosses the sand bank when the tide has started to fall. The commuters claim that this is particularly so when the ferry is delayed on Tuesdays at the Wakenaam Stelling for the loading of cattle.  They claim that the person arranging the schedule needs to recheck, as on many occasions the boat departs Parika and Adventure hours after the tide has risen to a safe level.
