Yesterday, MOPT sanctioned the Development Association of Paquera by suspending the service.  The punishment is due to the fact that the vessels don’t have the capacity to carry handicapped passengers, which is a recent requirement for all public transportation according to law 7600.

Representatives of the association complained about MOPT applying the regulation unfairly. "The other company (Naveira Tambor), does not meet the requirements either, however they are linked to a big hotel chain (Barcelo) and they were not shutdown. "  The association will ask that the ruling be overturned and an extension of 3 weeks be given to them.
