Ranks of the Guyana Police Force's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Special Patrol of Regional Division 4 'A' have managed to recover two high-powered assault weapons and ammo during an operation yesterday in Norton Street, Georgetown.

The Vreed-en-Hoop Shore Base Inc (VEHSI) has started the new year with the emergence of the first part of its artificial island in the Demerara River - a momentous achievement and a first for Guyana.

This new island is part of the reclaimed land that will be transformed into the estimated 44-acre mega-project to create the shorebase facility.

This project will, in the first phase, add more than 44 acres to Guyana’s coastline. Phase one of the project is meant to be the special purpose vehicle to serve as a SURF (Subsea Umbilicals, Riser, and Flowlines) Shorebase for Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL) projects.

The project started the first step in June, which entailed the dredging of the access channel in the Demerara River including the deepening/widening of the existing nautical channel, berth pockets, and turning basin.

This phase has been hailed a success by the project managers and the upgraded channel has been handed over to the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD).
