    Why didn't the deal go through? How come this ferry wasn't used for the heroes' day commemorations?

      I am not sure. Your government made it difficult, and the owner of the vessel got frustrated and moved on to other things. How much better would life be for your people with more travel options? Your government is comfortable with the way things are, and little to no effort is being made for progress and change.

      your government doesn't care for your people to improve your travel difficulties. they are obviously happy with the way things are.

      @@MarkAntigua so sad. It has been alledged that they all have shares in die Montserrat, therefore, they are looking a profit. If you see the rubbish they used as a ferry. Die Montserrat aircrafts are over 50 years old and the ‘ ferry’ looks even older than that. I think we Montserratians may have to pull together and arrange decent travel for ourselves. They cannot refuse docking because the majority are born & bred there. We will be in touch Mr Antigua. Thanks again.

      @@anthonyglaser8972 It seems your government didnt like the boat, or the owner and some people wanted it while others put barriers in place preventing anything from happening. Leaving the people of Montserrat with not many other convenient options still. I think i heard their might be another player/boat now to do the ferry service but it is very late. But better late than never. It is not my boat and boat has moved on to another country. The time for this boat and deal has ended.
