Bermuda announces plans for ‘mega wharf’
Bermuda’s Transport Minister Walter Roban announced on Friday that Government was in feasibility talks with major cruise lines on a new wharf to be built to house the mega ships that are increasingly becoming the backbone of the industry.
The pier would be built at the east end of Bermuda, an area that Roban said could become a major tourism area and provide much-needed jobs.
Roban also outlined potential plans with an "interested cruise line" to locate small sized craft that could call at the town in St. George’s and Hamilton. These plans would not be realized until 2014 at the earliest.
The Royal Gazette of Bermuda reported that during the press conference announcement on Friday several reporters questioned the viability of the project. The One Bermuda Alliance Shadow Tourism Minister Shawn Crockwell expressed his skepticism saying: "St George’s residents have been played with long enough — by a Government that has delivered nothing but empty promises, false starts, lost jobs and rising crime. Today’s 11th announcement by Transport Minister Walter Roban is more of the same."
