Immigration and Maritime services move to PJIA ferry dock during Simpson Bay renovation

Immigration and Maritime services on St. Maarten have been temporarily relocated to the ferry dock at Princess Juliana International Airport (PJIA) as major refurbishment works on the Simpson Bay dock enter a new phase. Over the past month, crews have cleared the area of broken fencing, non-functional lighting, abandoned car wrecks, and refuse bins as part of the comprehensive rebuilding and beautification project. The relocation ensures that essential government services remain accessible to the public and maritime travelers during the construction period. Simpson Bay is a key waterway hub on the island, making the dock's condition and functionality important to both residents and tourists. The upgrade is expected to significantly improve the appearance and safety of the area once completed. Authorities have not yet specified a timeline for the refurbishment's completion or when services will return to their original location.
