Since plans for the marina were announced The Royal Gazette has asked the Ministry the below questions:

• Who are South Basin Development and why have they only just applied for incorporation now?

• Are any Bermudian firms involved in this project?

• Has a planning application been made yet? If not when is one expected to be made?

• When is work expected to begin?

• How much is Government investing in this project?

• Has the land been leased to the company, and if so for how long?

• Why Dockyard?

• Was a study done to decided the best place for it?

• Is Government concerned that Dockyard might not be the ideal location being as it houses thousands of cruise ship visitors already?
