On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: CBP says multiple vessels have been seized in the Virgin Islands for allegedly failing to properly report their arrival, as the federal agency reminds boaters that violations can bring significant fines and vessel forfeiture. WAPA customers will continue paying the current 22.2-cent LEAC through December while the Public Services Commission reviews whether the utility’s actual energy costs support a change in the rate. Underground electrical work on St. Thomas will bring lane closures and traffic delays around Subbase Road and Nisky Lane beginning Thursday as WAPA continues its Feeder 9A project. Listen to these stories and more. Pictured: A vessel seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in St. Thomas after authorities say its operator submitted an arrival report through the CBP ROAM application but refused required video calls, resulting in the submission being denied. CBP says the vessel then failed to report to a designated Port of Entry as required and was subsequently seized and transported to Puerto Rico. Source: CBP Office of Field Operations Facebook page
