The non-profit Caribbean Sail Training (CST) organization thanked the Port for its continued cooperation in hosting its vessels.
The Managing Director of the Marigot Port Albéric Ellis was presented with a token of appreciation on April 29.
Tall Ship visits have been impacted by COVID-19 and it was mainly sail training vessel Wylde Swan that benefitted from Port services this season, after arriving several times in the Bay of Marigot and the Galisbay commercial pier.
Following remarks by CST President Jan Roosens, Captain of Wylde Swan Tsjerk Hesling Hoekstra presented Mr. Ellis with a traditional ship’s steering wheel.
The return trip across the Atlantic to the Netherlands was to be under the command of second captain Richard Slootweg.
Roosens said the reception was held again as a “thank you” to Ellis and his staff for the great cooperation CST has already received from the Port for several years now.
