Osprey Lines Ltd. is considered the main form of transportation between Grenada the sister isles, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
HILLSBOROUGH, Carriacou, Thursday April 7, 2011 –The Grenada Government and the Grenada Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) are closer to signing a formal concessions' agreement with Osprey Lines Ltd., which could result in cheaper travel between Carriacou and the mainland.
The agreement, when finalized, will include waiver on spare parts and equipment purchased by Osprey Lines; this, in turn, should lead to a reduction in the cost of ticket prices.
At present the cost of travelling on Osprey between Carriacou and Grenada is EC$160 (US$59) return and travelers have been clamouring for a price reduction.
A meeting was recently held with Minister for Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs, Senator George Prime, and officials of GIDC and Osprey Lines on developing an action plan to expedite the process of reaching an agreement.
Osprey Lines Ltd. is considered the main form of transportation between Grenada the sister isles, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
Only one small airline, SVG Air, services the air route between Grenada and Carriacou.
