The city administration in emergency mode restored sea links with the islands of Popov and Reynard, which, as previously reported, on May 20 the company has stopped «Mortrans.» Without warning and explanation, making once again held hostage to the islanders in their struggle for increasing subsidies on shipping.
«Actually,» Mortrans «turned the inhabitants of the islands in the travel ban — people were left without food, without medical care, without any connection to the mainland. Believe that this is a gross violation of the agreement made at all in 2013. This is sufficient reason to terminate the contract with «Mortrans» and find the good faith of the carrier. On Tuesday, the administration has launched a regular bus service to the Russian, now restored to a regular ferry service to the island Popov. This week we will restore ferry service in full. »
Today, passengers and Popova Reynard delivers ship «Lotus». The islanders are pleased that the message is restored to the islands, but the hope that he would return the old schedule of flights.
We managed to get through to the carrier company. The representative of «Mortrans,» said in a telephone conversation that the flights are not met due to the dangerous condition of the berths and the reluctance of the captains to risk the lives of passengers and their own insignia. As such, none of the laws in this situation, the company issues «Mortrans» is still not answered. Especially strange look to the state claims berths: six months that have passed since the signing of another contract on the transport on the island, the state does not change berths, and worry the leaders of «Mortrans» began for some reason now.
At the same time, the inhabitants of the island of Reineke not complain about the state of the pier — last year it was overhauled and uncomfortable and unsafe ladder, which is equipped with steam «Mortrans.»
