Government Radio Network
The reinstatement of the navigational system is crucial to the navigation of BVI waters to ensure safe passage of vessels and ensure that the BVI is tourist ready. The Territory’s sea markers are managed by the BVI Ports Authority (BVIPA), with input from Virgin Islands Shipping Registry (VISR) on placement.
West End Ferry Terminal
The ferry terminal at West End was the busiest sea port in the Virgin Islands
prior to the 2017 hurricanes: 40% of all arrivals into the Territory cleared in
through West End.
Marine Survey
The seas surrounding the Virgin Islands are an invaluable natural resource.
Besides being the ‘sailing capital of the world’ there are potential economic
opportunities that could be exploited in our waters, as well as resources that
require protection.
Developing an effective ‘blue economy’ requires first collecting data on the
marine environment through a marine survey. These data can then be used to
decide how best to utilise available resources – otherwise known as marine
spatial planning.
Repair to homes
In the aftermath of the two category-5 Hurricanes Irma and Maria, the Virgin Islands has suffered large destruction of the housing stock which, coupled with issues related to the land ownership and large destruction of the rental stock, has led to the displacement of several families and individuals in tents provided by Shelterbox in partnership with Rotary and Team Rubicon.
Incinerator improvements
The Baths at Virgin Gorda is an important tourist destination that suffered damage to ticket booth, bathroom and bar shaded area.
BVI Marine Base
The Road Town Station currently functioning without an erected facility sign to clearly identify the government building as all government infrastructure should.
Bregado Flax Junior School
The two Virgin Gorda Admin buildings, the Flax building and the Vanterpool building, were badly affected by the 2017 hurricanes. The roof of the Flax building was destroyed, and this building is now unoccupied.
Temporary Housing
In the aftermath of the two category-5 Hurricanes Irma and Maria, the Virgin Islands has suffered large destruction of the housing stock which, coupled with issues related to the land ownership and large destruction of the rental stock, has led to the displacement of several families and individuals in tents provided by Shelterbox in partnership with Rotary and Team Rubicon.
Road Town Police Station
The Marine base currently is the centre for operation for the Police and Customs Marine operations. With the damage received during the 2017 hurricanes the place is no longer conducive for operations and does not allow for around the clock operations. It is questionable whether the building itself can be repaired at a reasonable cost or whether it should be demolished and replaced with the ‘warehouse’ style construction now evident in the direct vicinity.
Derelict Boat Removal
The passing of hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017 left a significant number of marine vessels stranded along the coastlines and bays of the Virgin Islands. The bulk of these vessels have been removed by the owners and their insurance providers. However approximately 280 derelict vessels remain that need to be removed from their land or sea location and then disposed of.
