-Will set back Supenaam stelling works by a month
A flotation pontoon intended for the Supenaam stelling but which became submerged at the Parika stelling on Saturday was yesterday salvaged and towed along with the link span bridge it supported to Supenaam. The mishap will set back works to accommodate the new Chinese ferries by up to one month.
With the falling tide, one of two supporting pontoons became entangled with the berthing piles at Parika and remained submerged upon the subsequent rising of the tide on Saturday. It was salvaged yesterday morning and towed to Supenaam for inspection
