00:00Normally on the old boats we had places where we could lie down and sleep.
00:05We don't have that anymore. We had to sit in the chairs for the full hours and just be uncomfortable
00:13because so far the cabins aren't accessible to none of the truckers.
00:20The selling of tickets for the vessel is also of concern to the trucker who wished not to be identified
00:26as the facility is only available at 4 p.m.
00:30Where we could only buy tickets 4 o'clock after 4 in the evening.
00:36So it's unfair for a guy who has to load a vehicle to have to stop load to come down
00:424 o'clock
00:43to see if he could get a ticket or if he lives in Charlotteville to come down from Charlotteville
00:48to see if he could get a ticket.
00:50According to the Minister of Works and Infrastructure, Jolene John,
00:54sea trials of the MV Golden Carrier continues.
00:58However, according to the Port Authority, commercial sailings started last month.
01:03Minister of Works and Infrastructure, Jolene John, spoke to the issue.
01:08It seems as if the trials are going quite well.
01:10So hopefully this week they will kind of start the facility service.
01:14It's something they have to do incrementally.
01:16At the end they can't just open cabins, you know,
01:18because sometimes those things are trouble waiting to happen,
01:21meaning they're comfortable, they will help truckers and so on.
01:24But at the same time you have to ensure that it is safe for every signature you have to be.
01:28Minister of Works and Infrastructure, Jolene John, speaking on another matter,
01:33said the opening of the new terminal of the ANR Robinson International Airport is imminent.
01:39And they're just about ready.
01:41A little tweaks here and there in terms of operational tweaks,
01:45meaning like civil aviation has to give that what they call a NOTAM,
01:50the NOTAM, the NOTAM, but they're just about ready to do the simulation,
01:55the final kind of bring people in in a simulated manner and then they're ready to go.
