Coast Guard updates Saipan location of damaged vessels

Even before Super Typhoon Sinlaku battered the Northern Mariana Islands and disrupted fragile supply chains, businesses across the islands were already struggling with rising costs of doing business, especially with surging fuel and utility charges, worker shortages, and the general difficulty of obtaining imported products, not to mention shipping delays due to competition with the enormous tonnage of disaster aid coming to the islands.

Local and federal partners will begin work June 1 to clear damaged vessels from Smiling Cove, which is near to American the Memorial Park in Garapan.

United Airlines has revised its planned service resumption on Saipan – Tokyo Narita route, due to impact from Typhoon Sinlaku in April.

Both the Guam Visitors Bureau and the Marianas Visitors Authority will be promoting their charms later this year at the annual Japan Association of Travel Agents Tourism Expo from Sept. 24 to Sept. 27 at the Tokyo Big Sight convention center.
