A morale perspective June 5, 2025, 9:54 AM
The question remains; was it right to sell the Alfa Nero and to keep the proceeds ? The lies: 1. The owners of the vessel was not known. 2. The yatch was abandoned. 3. The owners did not make timely contact with the Antiguan Authority. Questions: 1. Is our Port Authority so inept that a vessel of that size would have been allowed to port in Antigua without the proper documentation ? 2. If proper documentation was presented to the Port Authority, why was the ownership of the vessel in question? Seem as if the plight of the Alfa Nero under sanction invited ravenous wolves on the prowl.
