Equipment malfunctions that recently stalled operations at the Campden Park Container Port, and other problems that plague the facility will be discussed by the Cabinet of Ministers.
A decision will then be made which may see changes in the leadership of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Port Authority (SVGPA).
Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves made this clear while speaking Tuesday morning on the AM Mayhem radio show of Hot 97.1.
“It is entirely unacceptable for important pieces of equipment not to be maintained.
“I have a way of following an old injunction from the folk, ‘take time to run fast’. Watch me running fast,” Gonsalves said in response to a question about heads rolling at the management level of the SVGPA.

Electronic bracelets are being considered by local health authorities as part of the effort to keep track of persons in quarantine.
Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves said on December 23 that the idea was currently being examined by the Ministry of Health, particularly in relation to high-risk travellers.
“…The matter had come up before for the high-risk travellers to procure an electronic bracelet so you can do five days and put the electronic bracelet on you, but the question is, how do you manage it, how do you track it,” Gonsalves said during a radio interview.
He added that the health authorities were holding conversations with the police to discuss the possibility of tracking the bracelets via the surveillance system at the Questelles Police Station.
