AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums The Cayes Caye Caulker Transporting goods on the caye

In a similar vein to the question below, how does one transport building supplies and large heavy items. Specifically taking stuff down to the south end. I'd like to take a container if that is possible.

You may find a container an expensive liability here in this small town with soft sand roads and no big trucks.Have you spoken to Hyde Shipping about options? They charged us less money if our goods are not palletized or in a container.
You will need Village Council permission to bring the container here. It will probably have to live on the main back dock until you send it back to the city.They can only unload one there by dragging it out of the Crystal barge with a front end loader
Where in the South Point? When your goods first arrive they can be dropped by Manuel directly at some places down South but not others, unless they are in a container. This is by far the easiest and wouldn't cost anything.
