KPTC suspends Failaka trips
Monday, May 2, 2016
Kuwait Public Transport Company (KPTC) CEO Essa Abdullah Al-Hubail said that the company had temporarily suspended its ferry trips from Ras Al-Ardh to Failaka island from last Sunday because of accumulation of sand on the seabed towards Failaka harbor entrance, which could block marine traffic and jeopardize navigation safety, local daily Kuwait times reported. Hubail explained that in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications, KPTC is working on dredging the sand and rehabilitating the port to receive the company’s ferries.
