PORT OFFICIALS are considering at least one short-term measure as the build-up of sand at the mouth of the Careenage begins to widen.

Harbour Master Richard Alleyne told the SATURDAY SUN a company had been commissioned to investigate why the build-up was occurring.

It was back in June that the build-up of sand was highlighted in the DAILY NATION as one pleasure craft operator expressed concern about the threat it could pose to craft entering and leaving the safe harbour.

Alleyne said he had been made aware that the build-up had accelerated. (HLE)
