$13M contract awarded for repair of generator set on ferry

May 27, 2017 News

MV Kanawan, which normally plies the Essequibo River area, remains operable but is badly in need of repairs. Government is actively working on getting the vessel up and running again. To that extent, Cabinet has approved over $13M for repairs to the watercraft.
There was no Cabinet press briefing this week. However, Ministry of the Presidency sent out statements on some of the matters discussed by the Cabinet.
One of the releases stated that “Cabinet, at this week’s sitting, noted the award of a contract for emergency repairs to the generator set of the Transport and Harbours Department Ferry, MV Kanawan.”
It was noted that the contract, which is to the tune of $13,048,010, has been awarded to Courtney Benn Contracting Services Limited.
The MV Kanawan was inoperable from April 26 to April 30, a period of five days, due to the failure of the generator. The vessel was also inoperable last year.
