The Shipping Association of Guyana is studying legal action against the George-town Mayor and City Council (M&CC) after City Hall officers barred container trucks from leaving wharves over a “road assessment”.
The shippers see the dispute over a $25,000 container fee as the reason behind the city’s actions.
Container trucks were prevented from leaving the Muneshwers and John Fernandes wharves on Water Street after the M&CC placed barricades at the entrances and sought the payment of the recently implemented fee.
The barricades were removed late yesterday afternoon.
Last night, attorney Christopher Ram told Stabroek News that he and attorney Sase Gunraj would be seeking an injunctive remedy from the court on behalf of the Shipping Association.
