Please be aware that the lights at Boatswain Bay Lighthouse is not working at the moment. We are working on it and will update once its operational again. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

The Port Authority is monitoring the tropical systems on the periphery of the Caribbean and in the western Atlantic which are forecasted to impact our area by this weekend and into early next week. We are therefore asking importers with cargo already here and those with cargo that is on its way, to please expeditiously clear it with Customs and collect it as soon as it is available. Those customers who have signed up and received an online ID from PACI can see when their cargo is available. We would also like to ask persons with vessels moored in the harbour and Seven Mile Beach, to monitor the systems and secure their vessels, or seek the appropriate safe harbour or shelter by this weekend.

Our website will be down tomorrow (Monday June 14, 201) morning for 2 hours starting at 10am.  This is to facilitate an update to our network infrastructure.  We apologize for any inconvenience that this might cause.
