Breakwater renovation likely to take three months, says Port

The renovation of the breakwater at the Bridgetown Port is scheduled to be completed by March of this year.

Chief executive officer (CEO) of Barbados Port Inc. David Jean-Marie said the work is set to begin this weekend and expected to last three months, barring anything unforeseen.

“The original discharge or laytime (to offload the armour stones) was 12 days, working 24 hours a day, but it’s taking longer than that because we’ve had to also bring in equipment, plus sea swells are causing some delays,” he said.
