Repairs begin for public dock destroyed in a storm in 2021

Work has commenced on the dock in Morgan’s Harbour, West Bay, which has been damaged and unusable since Tropical Storm Grace passed the Cayman Islands on 17-18 Aug. 2021.

“It is unsightly and doesn’t fit with the reputation of the Cayman Islands as an up-market destination, so we are grateful that the public dock is being fixed,” said Ron Hargrave, owner of the nearby Tukka West restaurant. “I know the boaters who will use it again are grateful, too.”

Hargrave added: “The Ministry of Planning and Infrastructure has been really communicative, which we appreciate. They have invited us along to meetings, and from what we have been told, they plan to replace the old wood pier with a concrete dock that will be much stronger and should be completed in about six months.”
