GRAND BAHAMA, BAHAMAS – As Grand Bahama continues to recover three years after hurricane Dorian, the removal of derelict vehicles on that northern island remains a key priority for the Grand Bahama Port Authority’s City Maintenance and Management Department.

Hurricane Dorian left thousands of vehicles on Grand Bahama damaged.

GBPA Vice President of Building and Development services, Nakira Wilchcombe says they’ve engaged licensees who have the ability to process and export the vehicles.

Wilchcombe says the GBPA’s City Maintenance and Management Department continues to tag vehicles for removal.

Back in June, hundreds of vehicles stored in a junkyard at Kent Motors went up in flames.

Wilchcombe says the GBPA is discouraging these types of facilities, as they want to now eliminate the creation of additional storage areas in the city.

She says residents can reach out to the GBPA for the vendors to remove their derelict vehicles from their properties.
