Geest Shipping Line through its local agent M&C has come to the rescue of the National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO).

The Shipping Line has generously offered NEMO assistance with an unlimited amount of shipping containers and free shipment of relief items to the Commonwealth of Dominica.  It is with much gratitude that NEMO has accepted this offer on behalf of the Government and People of Saint Lucia to aid the island of Dominica.

The containers will be shipped every Monday out of Saint Lucia until further notice.

Mr. Peter Dixon, Managing Director of Geest Shipping Line, UK, described the situation in Dominica as “a tragedy” and pledged Geest’s support to the relief efforts for the island.

General Manager of M&C Shipping, Ms. Karen Lawrence was pleased to report that Geest readily volunteered to support the free shipment of the supplies from Saint Lucia to Dominica.  She also emphasized that the recovery of Dominica will be a long one and that support should not just be of the immediate kind.
