NY Bajan has plans for regional ferry

BROOKLYN-BASED Barbadian entrepreneur Randy Connor has announced his intention to operate a Caribbean ferry service from Barbados beginning by the end of the year.

Connor announced his plan at a community meeting convened by the Ministry of Housing, Lands and Rural Development at the Queen’s Park Steel Shed last week. He said he was in Barbados working out the logistics and making concrete arrangements for what he discovered was a much-needed service by the island.

Speaking to the Weekend Nation after the meeting, Connor said he was aware of the difficulties Caribbean residents were experiencing with travel between the islands, given the high air fares being charged by regional carriers.
