New Ferry Grounded by Dock Collapse | Guyana News

The brand new $12.7 million ferry MV Ma Lisha is grounded—literally—waiting for its dock to be rebuilt after catastrophic soil shifts caused parts of the wharf to collapse. Scheduled to launch in April 2023 to boost transport to hinterland communities, the vessel’s maiden voyage is on hold until engineers fix the foundation. Meanwhile, the aging MV Barima, still the region’s lifeline, undergoes repairs. Minister Juan Edghill revealed the costly setback during a National Toshaos Council meeting, highlighting how even major infrastructure projects can stall when the ground won’t cooperate.
