BORCO: Operations to Continue as Usual

Freeport, Grand Bahama - Despite
the recent resignations of certain pilots,
all BORCO operations will continue with business as usual. BORCO has a
dedicated team of pilots in place that is more than capable of handling
our pilotage needs comfortably on a normal schedule, and there will be
no interruption of or delay in service. Any
statements by the Bahamas Maritime Pilots Association (BMPA) to the
contrary or accusations that BORCO pilots are currently overworked are
unfounded. Any berthing delays were solely the result of a port closure
because of adverse local weather conditions.
We
will continue to uphold the highest international performance standards
that have long been key to the BORCO brand in The Bahamas, and in the
international oil transshipment
and storage industry. Our established pilotage program is designed to
meet the needs of our business and our customers, while maintaining safe
and professional vessel operations. For over 50 years, operations at
BORCO have been conducted at or above international
industry standards and we plan to keep it that way.
