Government has confirmed that it has received a proposal to buy a Trinidadian-based vessel that was brought to Guyana by local business persons.The vessel anchored off Parika, East Bank Essequibo.The vessel, reportedly purchased in Trinidad for scrap, is currently anchored off Parika Beach,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, East Bank Essequibo, and has been raising eyebrows because of its presence there for several days now.Yesterday, Public Works Minister Robeson Benn disclosed that his office has received a proposal. He however declined to give details.The 1,400-tonne vessel was reportedly purchased for just over US$100,000 and was brought here to be chopped up for scrap and then to be exported.Kaieteur News has since learnt that moves were made to have it sold to Government for US$1M with the intention that the hull would be used on the MV Malali. The hull on that vessel is said to be in an appalling state and needs to be replaced. |
