KINGSTOWN - In observance of World Maritime Day 2013, the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD), embarked on a sanitation drive which targeted boat operators at the Georgetown and Parika Stellings.
Marine Cadets distributed hygienic kits to boat captains from the Georgetown/Vreed-en-Hoop, Parika/Supenaam, Parika /Bartica and Parika/Wakenamm Stellings on September 26.
A total of 35 cleaning supplies were distributed to Captains for the cleaning of life jackets and the sanitization of their boats.
Over time, passengers have been complaining about dirty life jackets they have to contend with while traversing the waterways.
MARAD's staff also encouraged boat operators to continue to enforce safety, and distributed flyers on boating safety to captains also urging passengers to continue wearing their life jackets correctly at all times.
