MV Sandaka slams into passenger vessel

Sep 27, 2014 News

At approximately 15:50 hours on Thursday September 25, 2014, the Transport and Harbours Department (T&H.D) vessel “Sandaka” and a small passenger boat, “Akeela”, collided in the Essequibo River, just off the Parika Stelling.
The incident occurred as the Sandaka which serves the Leguan to Parika route, was mooring alongside the Parika Stelling. The master of the Akeela reportedly refused to move his boat from the position reserved for the T&HD vessels alongside the Stelling.
The Akeela operates the Parika –Wakenaam– Supenaam service and had 23 on board at the time. As the collision seemed imminent, some of the passengers jumped overboard.
There were minor injuries but there were no fatalities. The Akeela suffered some damage.
Officers from the Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD) and the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) are investigating this incident.
