Bermuda’s first two cruise ships of 2017 arrived
Bermuda’s first two cruise ships of 2017 arrived this morning in the West End: the Oriana and Queen Victoria. According to a press release from the Bermuda Government, it is “possibly the first time” two very large, Bermuda-registered cruise ships have been in a local port at the same time. Senator Michael Fahy will mark the beginning of the cruise year in the West End, with surveyors from the new Bermuda quango, Bermuda Shipping and Maritime Authority, conducting a flag state inspection on the P&O Line’s Oriana, during its only visit of the year. The Cunard Line’s Queen Victoria is on the first of its two visits for the year.
Bermuda: Many containers remain at docks after five day workers protest
The five-day protest has affected the arrival of goods into Bermuda by sea and forced one shipping line to charter another container vessel to ensure supplies from the east coast of the United States reach the island. Port workers temporarily returned to Hamilton Docks on Tuesday and Thursday to ensure that essential items including perishable produce and animal feed from the Oleander and the Bermuda Islander could be unloaded and delivered. However about 400 full and 200 empty containers remain on the dockside, some of which have been there since last Thursday. Meanwhile the Oleander and the Bermuda Islander both remain alongside in Hamilton with more than 150 full containers and other cargo on board. Neither vessel can leave until the full containers have been unloaded. As a result of the disruption the Oleander’s operators, Neptune group, have had to charter another container ship, the MV Birk, to bring in the next cargo of goods bound for Bermuda from the US.
Hurricane Gonzalo Knocks out Bermuda Power
Power was knocked out to 80 percent of Bermuda's electricity grid due to Hurricane Gonzalo, the island's only power company, Bermuda Electric Light Co., said on Friday evening. The company reported that about 29,000 customers were without electricity, out of 36,000 metered connections. The eyewall of Hurricane Gonzalo made a direct hit on Bermuda on Friday evening, becoming the strongest storm to hit the tiny Atlantic island chain in a decade, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
