Rip Sir.... you were one of the Few who have to date apologised for the many years of transgressions of the minority towards the majority ... god speed sea wolf.

If The this LNG proposal is approved i would think that all parties concerned including APD would see the wisdom in Bunkering the LNG distribution from clifton pier using the same route that BEC presently uses for their overhead high power distribution cables to the Bule Hills power station. This track would be the least developed route for the LNG pipeline thus eliminating the concern expressed to the areas mentioned in the letter above.. The LNG proposal has has many positive merits.

The HAM administration will stand the credibility test on the BTC and Aliv share sale to the Bahamian investing public. Remember the HAI administration also promised to sell the gov portion of the Arawak cay port shares to the public, and a percentage of Bahamas food services shares when they were bought out by the american company "sysco Ltd, This sale was model after the commonwealth brewery sale to heineken the beer parent company.. Sysco was mandated in that sale agreement to sell a percentage of the shares to the Bahamian public. Todate nothing has happened. You would think that Gov would have completed the BTC share sale by now because there has been many tribune articles on that topic and the funds could be used to reduce some of the gov borrowing. Administrations make promise's but rarely deliver.

That is why the Offering memorandum ended with the high lighted statement **"The preference share issue is a private placement targeted at specific institutional investors and high net worth individuals. Members of the public should not seek to become involved"** ...The folks who invest in the Aliv offering probably have a diversified portfolio and can afford to loose what ever funds they have invested.. No one likes to loose money but if that eventually happens they are most likely the folks who would feel it less.

Go for it, There can be a APD-LNG subsidiary and an APD-Harbour subsidiary with private sector funding both projects. The investing public would glow over any of these plans if they were to provide further equity purchase opportunities . This is visionary planning and members of the public who are always complaining about being left out just need to save a few dollars and participate.

The economy would do well with at least two IPO's this year...Aliv, BTC, Island Luck and APD ....ivestors watch,wait and save. .

Good ..now convince the government to sell its 40% stakes holding in APD to members of the public just like HAI administration had promised to do at a later date.....how long is later date surpose to be ?. Just exclude the families, shipping cpmpanies and groups who own the other 40 per cent.

i was thinking the same thing. Thats why the second P in PPP is for private. They are surpose to have their own side of the money But i guess some institutional investors, pension and mutual funds will buy into this. . . also this week the Gov is having a registered stock issue.

Agreed ...we need to seek as a country to rise on the world's green economy list
