WATCH: Port Authority Blocks Well-Established Trucker from Compound
The General Manager of the Antigua and Barbuda Port Authority has made the decision to block Business Owner Ewart Isaac from entering the port compound following what has been described as a confrontation at the facility recently.
According to Darwin Telemaque, the action comes after reports that Isaac blocked the gate that releases cargo and refused to comply with instructions issued by port security officers during the incident.
Telemaque indicated that Isaac’s alleged conduct disrupted operations and raised security concerns, prompting management to intervene.
When Isaac, the owner of Ewart Isaac Trucking Services, arrived at the port this morning, he was denied entry.
Speaking to Antigua.news, Isaac maintained that he did nothing to justify what he described as a drastic and punitive measure.
