The government is assessing plans to relocate the Bridgetown Fisheries Harbour after storm damage and longstanding congestion exposed structural limits at the current site, Prime Minister Mia Mottley has said.

Mottley made the disclosure on Thursday during the official commissioning of Berth 6 at the Port of Bridgetown, where she outlined challenges facing the existing harbour and the long-term plans being considered.

Mottley said the impact of Hurricane Beryl highlighted vulnerabilities at the already congested harbour, which sustained significant damage during the storm.
