Marina Demolition Stalled by Legal Questions | Bahamas News

Demolition at Port Lucaya Marina ground to a halt just one day in after a surprise stop-work order from the Grand Bahama Port Authority, sparking a legal tug-of-war over seabed lease control. New developers Bahamas Land and Waterways claim they were ordered to halt “repair” work — when they were actually tearing down the entire marina — and argue the Port Authority acted too hastily. Meanwhile, longtime landlord DEVCO insists the lease remains theirs and demands formal paperwork to recognize any transfer of rights, not to block progress but to ensure legality. Though eager to move forward and boost Grand Bahama’s economy, the new owners are now caught in a bureaucratic standoff, hoping to resolve the confusion quickly and get construction back on track.

New Airport Tech Not Causing Delays | Bahamas News

Airport officials defend the new security system at Lynden Pindling International Airport, insisting it’s not causing delays—passenger volume, especially early morning rush hours, is the real culprit. Built by Radiant Solutions, the tech uses facial recognition and passport scanning to speed up checks, not slow them down. CEO Dr. Raymond Wells says staff have adapted, and more stations can be added during peak times. The system, designed to meet global standards, reduces human error and ensures consistent security. Despite some passenger frustration, the two-hour arrival rule remains unchanged—because it’s always been the standard, not a tech-driven mandate. This upgrade is about modernizing security and positioning the Bahamas alongside the world’s top airports. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
