A new ferry service is preparing to launch with Montserrat positioned as a key hub in its network.
Project Systems and Solutions Ltd, a Trinidad and Tobago-based consultancy and operations firm specialising in marine services, has announced the formal launch of its Leewards Link Ferry Service.
According to a press release issued on Sunday, the company said the service will operate under the Leewards Link Logistics brand and aims to provide safe, reliable and affordable passenger and cargo transportation throughout the region.
The ferry is expected to serve Montserrat, Antigua and St Kitts and Nevis.
The company said the project follows more than a year of planning, regulatory assessments and investment and is intended to improve regional connectivity, support local businesses and tourism, and provide competitive travel options for residents.
Leewards Link said it does not seek to replace or interfere with any existing or proposed local ferry initiatives and remains open to collaboration with local stakeholders.
The company said it is finalising schedules and regulatory approvals ahead of its maiden voyage, with details on routes, fares and bookings expected to be announced within the coming week.
The company added that a media preview and vessel tour, which was previously postponed, will also be rescheduled.
The announcement comes amid public concern surrounding the vessel Swift Sails, which entered Montserrat’s waters last Wednesday before departing the island the following day.
