Sark takes on Brecqhou again over shipping

SARK is renewing its battle with Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay over freight shipments to the island.
Chief Pleas will discuss this month a proposition that would block the Brecqhou Warrior from unloading cargo in Sark, a move apparently aimed at forcing the brothers’ development company to use Isle of Sark Shipping.
This is not the first time Sark representatives have tried to stop the shipments and it again heightens tensions over the brothers’ multi-million pound development project in the island.
The proposition to be discussed is to uphold The Alderney and Sark (Licensing of Vessels) Law, 1951 ‘and so safeguard the revenue of Isle of Sark Shipping Company’.
‘No licence has been granted to the Brecqhou Warrior yet she continues to unload building materials, plant and equipment in Sark originating from Guernsey,’ said Harbours Committee chairman Conseiller Jan Guy and Shipping Committee deputy chairman Conseiller Andrew Cook.
‘These cargoes are used for building and restoration work on hotels and other commercial ventures in Sark.’
The Brecqhou Chief and Brecqhou Lass are licensed to carry a limited number of passengers temporarily. (from thisisguernsey)

They won't win....

It's a shame but I think you'll be proved right

I do wish grown-ups would act like grown- ups :( Power struggles on both side just serves to make them all look small and petty minded!!!!! and gives the wrong message to the young ones who are Sark's future!!!!

If Sark Shipping has sole rights to the cargo then I dont see why the B Bros should be allowed to do what others cant, maybe if they cant stop them unloading they can enforce an higher import duty.

Money obviously talks!

The attitude appears to be "Do what you want when you want and b****r the natives!!"
