TRANSPORT AND HARBOURS DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 1958.
Sir, I have the honour to submit the Annual Repon on the Transport and H arbours Department for the year ended 31 st December, J 958.

T he financial and statistical tables contain full details of expenditure, revenue, mileage and other results.

TABLE 1.

Revenue and Expenditure 1958 and 1957.

D uring the year the re were three wages awards.


(a) A ruling was made by Government that all daily paid employees, whether casual or otherwise, who had wo rked for 225 days or more each year for the past seven consecutive years, should be given holidays with pay.

Our ··casual" labour force is considerable and this award has increased our expenditure considerably.

( b ) A deadlock occurred between Union and Management in negotiations for increased wages and salaries.
As a result a Tribunal was appointed to investigate and further increases were awarded with effect from I st January, 1958.

( c) The Union submitted claims in rei.pect of certain categories of wor kers who were represeAted to be within the provisions of the Factories Ordi nance.

Government accepted these claims and ruled that they were admissible as from 1st June, 1953.
( 3) T hese three wages awardi; cost the Department approximately $150,000 and further claims in respect of the Faclories Ordinance were still under investiga tion at the end of the year.

The cost of pensions and gratuities increased in 1958 by $91,000.

This was due to retrenchment of sta ff etc., and unless retrenchment continues there should be an appreciable decrease in I 959.

Lt will be seen from the foregoing, that wages awards and increased pensions and gratuities accounted for $241 ,000.
This is approximately $83,000 more than the increase shown on our working deficit for 1958.

Costs of stores equipment etc., arc also continually rising.

Under the circumsta nces, an increased working deficit was unavoidable.

2 ( 4) During 1959 increased rates for ccnain items - vemcular traffic and excursions for example will have to be considered with a view to off-setting expenses.

SERVICES OPERA TED BY THE TRANSPORT & HARBOURS DEPARTMENT Internal Shipping Services.
( 5) During the year 1958 the Transport and Harbours Depa rtment operated daily ferry service!'

at regular intervals across the mo1!ths of the Demerara, Berbice and Essequibo Rivers, the last mentioned providing a link between the West Coast Railway and the island of Leguan.

A number of coastal and river boat services conveying passengers and cargo also operated.
These included a thrice weekly service between Georgetown, Parika, Fort l sland and Bartica; a twice weekly cargo service between Georgetown, the Essequibo islands and the Essequibo Coast; a twice weekly cargo service between Georgetown and New Amsterdam; a weekly service between Georgetown and the North West District; a fortnightly service between Georgetown and Pick ersgill in the Pomeroo n River; a weekly service from New Amsterdam to Arima, a point 130 miles up the Berbice Ri ver.
and a return service daily except on Sun days between Parika, the Esseq uibo islands and the Essequibo Coast (linking with the West Coast R a il way).

( 6) Towards the end of I 958. the Transport and Harbours Department in troduced a weekly return Launch Service for passengers and carg0 between New Amsterdam and lkwruwa, a point 60 miles up the Canje River a nd a weekly return Launch Service on the Berbice River between New Amsterdam and Kwakwani, 136 miles up river.
With the introduction of this latter service, the Be rbice River Ser vice to Arima was re-scheduled to operate to Ituni, 110 miles up river instead.

( 7) The Department operated two single track Railways known as the East the former 60V2 miles connect,;; Coast Rail way and the West Coast Railway- Georgetown on the Demerara River with Rosignol on the West Bank of the Ber bice River opposite New Amsterdam; the other 18 ¼ miles connects Vreed-en Hoop on the Demerara River opposite Georgtown with Parika on the East Bank of the Essequibo River.

Road Services.

(8) A lorry transport service was oi;,erated by the Transport a nd HJrbours Department for I 18 miles along the Ba rtica/ Potaro Road, i;,roviding transportation for passengers and cargo to the gold and diamond areas of the Potaro and Ma,za runi Districts along the Bartica/Potaro Road.

Harbour and Pilotagc Services : ( 9) The following is a brief rei;,ort of the performance of the H arbours Brandi during the year 1958.
(a) Pilotage : The Department operated a eompulsory pilotage Service for speci fied areas- 1,87 1 piloted ship mo vements were made in the George town District, 140 in the Berbice D4strict and 19 in the Essequibo.

(b) Safety Regulations : 163 coasting vessels were surveyed, I 04 inter-colonial vessels were inspected, 106 sea-worthiness certificates were issued, 58 coasting trade competency certificates were granted and 72 harbour licences were granted.
(c) Merchant Seamen : During the year, 5 I 4 seamen were signed on and off foreign-going vessels.

(d) Hydrographic Surveys: Surveys were carried out in the Berbice and Essequibo Rivers dur ing the year.

(e) Dredgers : The "Sir Crawford" removed 82,410 tons of spoil in 183 days at Georgetown, New Amsterdam, Dallawalla Crossing, Cluistianburg and Concordia Crossing.

The "Ruddy K" removed 22,300 tons of spoil in 228 days at Georgetown, Mackenzie and New Amsterdam.
... ' ... f .... .. 1( 29 3 GENERAL SURVEY ( 10) The twelve months covered by this Report have seen revenue figures raised to record high leYels.

The total revenue collected from Rail, Shipping and Road Services during 1958 was $2,497,216, that is $1 17,050 more than the I 957 totaJ, which was in itself an all time record.

It will be noted that for the first time in several years increases were recorded on each of the three main services-Rail ways, Shipping and Road TABLE U.

T he inability of the B.G.


Rice Mark.eting Board to provide storage for the eno rmous surplus of over 100,000 bags, resolved itself into rice being stored at Mills and Storage Bonds throughout the Colony instead of being transported to the Rice Marketing Board by Transport and Harbours Department Services.
This state of affai rs wh1ck obtained from about September onwards, naturally sent up operating costs and underlined the extent to which the Colony's transportation system is dependent on the export trade o[ commodities such as rice.

Vessels which left Georgetown on the various Cargo Services with economic outward loads, had on account of the rice crisis to return to Georgetown practically empty during the latter months of the year.
On the New Amsterdam Cargo Service for example, 1,8 10 tons rice were transported to Georgetown as against 6,588 tons in 1957, with the result that re venue derived from rice shipments on this service was approximately 73 % less tha n in 1957.

( 12) Tabulated hereunder are comparative figures of the number of pas senger journeys made on the various services over the past 5 years.
Despite the steady upward trend of passenger traffic on the Railways, (see chart l ) , we have had to operate with less, instead of more passenger coaches.

Whereas in 1954, 54 coaches were used to transport 1,712,399 passengers only 49 were available in 1958 to transport 2 ,969,006.

These figures emphasise very clearly and forcibly the need for more coaching stock to cope with the ever increasing passenger traffic.

!,JI 4,325,754 Total a ll Services 6.525.516 - - --·· ( 13 ) Revenue from passenger traffic was greater than in the previous year by ·$65,607; the number of passengers carried was 6,525.5 I 6 as agai nst 5,793,896 in 1957, an increase of 73 1,620.

Comparing 1958 with 1957, we find that the in crease in revenue was not commensurate wi th the tremendous increase in passen gers.
This is attributable to two factors : 5.793,896 5,328,948 ... t 4 ( I ) ( 2) the increasing usi:: of the attractive 4-day return tickets at the single fare which were introduced in 1955 to combat the heavy competition from road transport.

the large number of special tickets sold at " rock bottom" prices during the Visit of H.R.H .

Princess Margaret to the Colony-29th April to 2nd May, I 958.

In most cases fares were reduced by as much as 70%.
( 14 ) For the Royal Visit, the Transport and Harbours Department rose to the occa~ion and despite antiquated equipment and a scarcity of rolling stock, trans ported a record number of I 05,000 passengers in the three days.

( 15) Below is a chart showing the upward trend in passenger traffic on the two Railways since 1954 in relation to the number of passenger carriages that were available for service during the same period.
lt will be observed that although this traffic has increased a great deal since 1954. we have been unable to increase our rolling stock accordingly, instead, it has been reduced by 5 coaches.

Comparison of Passengers carried on the Railways and available coaching stock over the past 5 years.

,.,,,.o,,, IMPROVEMENTS TO TRANSPORT SERVICES Improvement to Railway Services : ( 16) A revised Time-Table was introduced on the East Coast Railway in April, 1958.
By this revision, it was possible to reduce the journey time between G eorgetown and Rosignol by 33 minutes and to improve the ferry connections.

Two additional trains were also introduced on the East Coast Railway.

(17) The track of both the East and West Coast Railways was maintained in good order and the standard of maintenance greatly improved; a general over haul including the replacement of all defective rails, fastenings, sleepers and spikes was carried out during the year.
( 10 ~1 lmprO\ement to Shipping: 5 ( 18) During the month of February 1958, the operation of all Cargo Ser vices was transferred from the Georgetown Steamer and Ferry Stellings to the new and spacious Goods Wharf, Kingsto n thus enabling all Cargo Services to be cen tralized at o ne point in the Georgetown Ha rbour.

This move greatly facilitated the handling of cargo and at the same time considera bly improved the conditions under which shipperc; had to post their cargo hitherto.
( 19) In October, 1958, internal shipping services were 1mprornd by the addition to the tl::et of the Transport and Harbours Department of a new Bateau type Launch ·'Pnrakeet" which was built by Messrs. Sprostons Limited, British Guiana.

This enabled the long awaited Government-owned Launch Service for passenger'> and cargo to be re-i ntroduced on the Canje River between New Am stcrdam and lkuruwa afte r a period of I I years.
~ similar return La unch Se rvice was also introduced on the Berbice River between New Amsterdam and Kwakwani thus increasing the frequency of the Transport Service o n this river from once to twice weekly.

(20) The Berbice Ferry Service was revised during the year to cater for the increase in vehicular traffic and to improve the tra in connectio ns.

Four additional cw Amsterdam and two from Rosignol were introduced ferry crossings two from on Sundays to expedite the movement of passengers and vehicles.
Improvement to Road Services: (21) In keeping with the Department's Policy of reducing operating co::;ts on the Bartica/ Potaro Road, the change-over from gasolene to diesel powered trucks was commenced in I 958.

Six new 7 ton diesel powered trucks arrived in the Colony during the year.

lmprol·ement to Harbour Services: ( 22) A new Survey La unch " Renew" built in the United Kingdom, arrived in the Colony in April and was handed over to the Chief Hydrographic Surveyor.
in July for survey work throughout the rivers and estuaries of the Colony.

Thi.

unavailabil ity of a suitable lau nch had in the past seriously handicapped the work of the H ydrographic Survey Branch, and important estua ry and coastal surveys had a t times, to be postponed indefinitely BRIEF COMME 1T ON THE VARIO US SERVIC ES TABLE IV.

The reasoR for this is that less rice and sugar were transported inwards.

The number of passengers carried on this Rail way duri,ng the yea r was 1,656,314.

This represents an increase of 260,730 over the previous highest figure.

Renewed efforts will have to be made during the year to get more coaches to cope with the increasing passenger traffic.

When we consider that transportation of rice to the Rice Marketing Board had to be restricted to small and infrequent shipment from abo ut September, anti that no rice was received from shippers during the last month of the year, it will be readily realised how much of this traffic was lost as a result of the crisis.

During 1958 no sugar was transported over the West Coast Railway; this traffic was handled by Sandbach Parker's barges.

special trains were introduced to operate between Windsor Forest and Yreed-cn Hoop daily except on Saturdays and Sundays.
but these only proved to be a pal1iative and did not relieve the situation to a considerable extent.

By the end of the year the urgent need for the purchase of new passenger coaches for the West Coast R ailway, and to lesser extent the desirability for more crossi ng points loomed greater than ever.

1023 7 (29) The Adventure Cargo Service was operated with satisfactory results during the year and increased tonnages were recorded for almost every commodity transported- rice and shop goods showing the greatest increases.

( 30) Owing to the number of shallow bars on the Adventure Passenger route, and the slowness of the vessel normally on the Adventure Passenger run, it was impossiblt> to maintain proper time-keeping on the Adventure Passenger Service.
However strenuous efforts will be made in 1959 to alleviate the position.

Consideration will also be given to placing a larger vessel on the run to cope with the increasing demand for the transportation of vehicular traffic as soon as it is possible to do sc TABLE IX Bartica Service - Decrease in Revenue - $9,747.

The fact that there was an increase of approxi mately 4.000 second class passengers and a decrease of abou t the same amount of f:irst class passenger~ did not help the position any.

It can be seen that after only two years of operation the yearly revenue total has increased 66% over the 1956 total.

Due to the improved service, the 1956 revenue for passengers has doubled itself while revenue for goods has increased 31 % .

Despite these increases in revenue however, the cost of operating the North West District Service continues to be high.
An effort will be made in 19 59 to reduce the working deficit by placing a motor vessel on the run vice the s.s. "Tarpon" which is very expensive to keep in service.

(34) Improvements to the North West District Service include the appoint ment of an Agent at Coomacka Stelling during the latter half of 1958.

The Agent's duty is to provide shore labour at Coomacka for loading and unloading the ,essel.

and to keep and deliver unclaimed cargo to consignees after the departure of the steamer.
A similar Agency will be introduced at Morawhanna during 1959.

The latter was put into operation during November l 958 and were it not for this Launch Service, the revenue for the Berbice River would have shown a decrease instead of an increase.

(36) fhe Berbice River Launch Service was operated weekly from New Amsterdam to Kwakwani and back by the new motor Launch "Parakeet" as follows -depart New Amsterdam 5.45 a.m. on Thursdays and Kwakwani at 7.00 a.m. on Fridays.
Although the introduction of this Service coincided with large scale re trenchment of workers at the Berbice Bauxite Company at Kwakwani.

traffic on this route can be termed as fair.

New Amsterdam Cargo Service - Decrease in Revenue Etc.

(37) The revenue for 1958 was $198,290 as against $202,658 in 1957.

This is the first time since the introduction of the New Amsterdam Cargo Shipping Service in 1953, that a decrease in revenue has been recorded.
The reason for this is that inwards cargo dropped 4.158 tons due to the rice crisis mentioned earlier on in the Report.

Canje Launch Sen·icc Passengers Goods $139 $520 Mails $40 total $699 (38) The above represents the total revenue collected for the 11 return trips made by the M.L.

--Parakeet" on the Canjc River Service during 1958.

The Ser vice was restored by Government on the 20th October, 1958 after a lapse of some I l years.
Much traffic is not anticipated at first, but the predictions are that the M .L.

--Parakeet" will be hard put to carry the quantity of provision traffic anti cipated from about May of 1959.

9 Excursions Traffic - Increase in Revenue - $5,998 ( 40) Excursion traffic continues to be one of the chief revenue earners in the Department; $62,811 was collected in 1958 as against $56,813 in 1957.

In recent times however.

that is, since the implementation of the Factories Ordinance which allowed double time pay on Sundays to certain categories of workers, the net receipts per steamer excursion has been less than previously.
During the coming year consideration will have to be given to increasing the rates for Sunday outings.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 1954 - 1959 ( 41) The Departmenf 5-year Development Programme progressed satis factorily during the year.

Stellings' Modemi:zation Scheme : ( 42) Plans have been prepared and approved in principle for modern Ferry Terminals at Vreed-en-Hoop and Georgetown and by the end of the year.

the final drawings and specifications were in the course of preparation.
( 43) The reconstruction and extension of the Georgetown Goods Wharf was nearing completion by the end of the year.

The two new and spacious steel bond:, were opened to public traffic during February, 1958, but several auxiliary services such as fire prevention equipment and installations.

and sanitary fimenities for the use of the public and staff have not yet been completed.
( 44) The reconstruction a nd exte nsion of the Adventure Stelling was com pleted during the year and the new bonds were opened to traffic.

A similar project was also commenced on the Morawhanna Stelling in the North We<;t District and ic; expected to be c0mpleted by next year.

Vreed-en-Hoop Harbour Station and Launch Depot : ( 45) The construction of a modern Harbour Station and Launch Depot at Vreed-en-Hoop complete with Pilot's Mess.

the sections most urgently in need of attention were lifted and ballasted with burnt earth and shell.

During the fine weather.

the number of men in the gangs were temporarily increased to speed up the pro gramme.
Exten:,ive repairs a nd improvements were also carried out on several t;ulverts due to the erosion a nd consequent undermining of the abutments.
