Reopening of seaports pushed back to March 1, 2021- BVIPA
The reopening date was initially scheduled for January 21, 2021.
Via a media release issued late today, January 5, 2021, by Public Relations Officer for the BVIPA Akua Akindele, it was noted that the Cabinet of the Virgin Islands approved the new reopening plan since December 30, 2020.
“The BVIPA and the Government of the Virgin Islands is cognisant of the constantly changing global status of the COVID-19 pandemic which now includes a second wave that is affecting countries. As such, our overall objective is the health and safety of the residents and the visitors of the BVI,” she wrote.
Akindele added: “This has led to significant adjustments to the reopening plan that will ensure a safe and efficient return of international ferry passenger operations at the Road Town Ferry Terminal.”
Projects yet to be completed
According to the BVIPA PRO, the decision was also made “based on a projected timeline of work to be completed,” which she did not reveal.
“The new timeline that includes various project deadlines now has a ‘Ready to Service’ date of March 1, 2021.”
The Virgin Islands reopened its borders, via the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport, to international visitors on December 1, 2020.
