Trash, Fuel, and Barges

Post by iheartsj »

Here is the latest on the situation. For the past few days only one barge is running and it can only take cars and small vans.

Therefore, we are not getting deliveries of gasoline, propane, concrete, building materials, etc.

Construction on St. John is at a standstill. No trash is leaving the island. It all needs to be hauled to St. Thomas.

Still long waits for the barges. Be thankful this is not high season.

It is a conspiracy!! - St Thomas doesn't want your trash anymore!And if the food,fuel and concrete gets stopped too for awhile it will only make STJ look at their over-stressed infrastructure and if STT needs to stop sending power and water to make the point that may be next.
Stopping the continued overbuilding would be a good start.

Trash is moving. Nice to see the dumpsters empty. I heard that the barge worked into the late hours last night to move the trash.

Thank you to the Capt Vic staff.
