For Immediate Publice Release
Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis the Hon. Denzil Douglas has hailed the launch of the Sea Bridge (SKN) Inc. ferry service as one which provided a new level of service that would link both islands economically and socially.
He was at the time delivering the feature address which marked the launch of the Sea Bridge ferry service on August 02, 2007, at the landing site at Cades Bay. The ferry service which caters to vehicle owners as well as passengers offers a 15 minute route from Cades Bay in Nevis to Majors Bay on the South East Peninsula in St. Kitts.
“For two islands that are so close to each other, the most natural desire is to have easier access to each other. Easier Access would help to promote greater cohesiveness among our people. It would enhance the opportunities to do business, diversify options for leisure activities among our people and create new levels of convenience for our visitors,” he said.
Mr. Douglas encouraged nationals to engage in the investment opportunities that were emerging in the economy. He said it was critical that everyone understood there was room for private sector investment in the transportation sector although millions of dollars had been spent to upgrade the air and sea ports to increase air and sea traffic in the Federation.
