Guyana said it is making a concerted effort to clear wreckage from its waterways and improve navigation as the number of ships serving the burgeoning oil-sector increases.
More than 14 wrecks have been removed since 2023, with three others set for cleanup in the coming months, weather permitting, Maritime Administration Director Stephen Thomas said Saturday at a news conference in Georgetown. The nation’s ports had a reputation for being unsafe due to wrecks dating from the 1960s littering the rivers and harbor.
