Port Operations Resume Normalcy After Temporary Disruptions
The Saint Lucia Air and Sea Ports Authority (SLASPA) has announced the full restoration of port operations, following a period of temporary adjustments that had affected service delivery. In a statement released on Monday, SLASPA informed the public and its clientele that all port services, including cargo handling and shed operations, have returned to normal capacity. The authority expressed gratitude for the patience and cooperation exhibited by stakeholders during the recent disruptions.
Last week, SLASPA implemented temporary operational changes at the seaports, leading to reduced capacities in certain services, particularly within the cargo sheds. These adjustments were necessary to manage available resources effectively amid unforeseen challenges. The public was advised to expect delays during this period.
SLASPA remains committed to upholding service excellence and has extended its appreciation to all partners for their continued collaboration and support. The authority assures the public that it will continue to monitor operations closely to prevent future disruptions and maintain efficient port services.
In recent months, SLASPA has been actively implementing initiatives to enhance port operations.These efforts include the near completion of Shed 7, aimed at improving the speed of destuffing and delivery of non-commercial cargo, and the development of an automated destuffing application process, which is expected to be fully implemented in the coming months.
Stakeholders and customers are encouraged to stay informed about ongoing improvements and to provide feedback to assist SLASPA in its mission to deliver efficient and reliable port services. For further information and updates, stakeholders are encouraged to contact SLASPA directly through their official communication channels.
