NOTE TO EDITORS: Blasting to be carried
out at wharf in Portugal Cove
The Department of Transportation and Works advises that blasting
procedures must be performed at the wharf in Portugal Cove to remove
underlying rock discovered during dredging procedures at the wharf.
The removal of this rock is essential to enable the wharf to safely
accommodate the MV Nonia during extreme low tides. Blasting will
begin tomorrow morning and should take approximately one day to
complete.
The MV Nonia and the MV Beaumont Hamel continue to
encounter weather conditions that are preventing both vessels from
reaching their respective ports.
A further announcement will be made as information becomes available.
