Cruise Berthing survey

Dear Chamber member,

The Cayman Islands Government is proposing to undertake improvements to the cruise berthing facilities at the Royal Watler Cargo and Cruise facility. The proposed project includes the construction of two piers, providing a total of four new berths. The construction of this new facility will require dredging of the sea floor, land reclamation activities, construction of retaining walls, drilling and blasting activities. On the reclaimed land area, a new terminal and parking facilities is proposed to facilitate a forecasted increase in the number of cruise ship passengers. This survey has been developed to seek your views on the proposed project and the likely potential impacts associated with the construction and operational phases of the project. All information provided will be kept confidential and will assist the Chamber Council with determining the membership's collective view on this proposed infrastructure project.
