Discovery Cruise Line in Grand Bahama to Resume Service
May 4 will be the date Discovery Cruise Line (DCL) resumes sailing. Repairs estimated at more than $1,000,000 have been completed, and the most popular form of travel for Grand Bahama residents will be ready to operate.
Repairs included a main port piston which caused damage to adjacent pistons. The engine block had to be welded. this is the first time DCL has had a problem of this magnitude and the necessary checks at dry and wet docks have been done over the years.
DCL representative Yannick Toussaint said that the company now plans to implement an on island emergency team to assist in a time of crisis and act as representatives for the company.
Discovery is unique because passengers carrying extra luggage are able to bring that with them and clear it at the terminal. The line provides a great service to our island and we will be happy to see it back in service.
