There have been a significant number of maritime accidents in Guyana throughout the years. Traffic on the nation’s waterways has drastically increased, especially given the fact that many locals use boats, canoes, and other watercraft as their primary means of transportation. Locals often find themselves competing for the use of Guyana’s rivers with larger vessels, such as barges and commercial ships, which can create extremely hazardous conditions while in open waters.

Several legislators have called for tighter regulations in Guyana’s maritime sector, including improvements in vessel, port, and wharf inspection, enhanced safety protocols for seafarers and fishermen, and the mandatory installation of warning and communication systems. Yet, the accident toll continues to rise.

Though victims of boating and commercial vessel accidents often suffer debilitating injuries due to the negligence of ship operators and port authorities, many shy away from fighting for justice out of fear of going up against big-named companies. However, it’s crucial for victims to remember they have a right to seek legal counsel with a Guyana maritime attorney.

If you or someone you love has been the victim of an accident in open waters in Guyana, you need a maritime attorney who understands the complexities of International Maritime and Admiralty Law and who will fight for your due compensation.
