CHARLOTTE AMALIE — The West Indian Company announced that due to the frequent COVID related cancellations, the February 2022 ship schedule has been removed from its website, the Virgin Islands Port Authority said on Facebook.

For weekly ship traffic information, please email their Marine Director Mark Sabino at msabino@wico-ltd.com

This is a temporary move until the cancellations are reduced to a manageable frequency, according to VIPA.

The WICO dock is not owned or managed by VIPA.
