Charge Assessed For Guat Gunboat’s Damage To The Reef

The Guatemalan navy gunboat was pulled off Glover's reef more than a week ago - and today the Prime Minister told us that an assessment of the damage has been made - and right now government is taking advice on how they should send the bill to the Guatemalan state:..

Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister

"I think that damages assessed at $46,000, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is therefore sending a note. But they want to get proper and legal advice in terms of how you frame this. Because it's sovereign state to sovereign state, but the claim will go now that the quantum of the damage done has been formalized."
