New Ferry Stuck at Broken Wharf | Guyana News

A $1.4 billion Port Kaituma wharf project is falling apart—design flaws and shifting soil have left it incomplete and unsafe, forcing the aging MV Barima to remain the only ferry operating between Georgetown and Port Kaituma. The brand-new $12.7 million MV Malisha, which arrived last April, can’t even make its first trip because the wharf it’s meant to dock at had to be partially rebuilt. With the MV Barima now the sole lifeline after a recent tragedy, public outrage is mounting. Officials blame the wharf’s structural issues for the delay, but critics are demanding a full safety audit of all passenger vessels and urgent upgrades to terminals—with a clear plan to replace outdated ferries with modern, reliable ones.
