BR’s Note & Observation; Was told about this on FaceBook. This is a long and comprehensive document, which seeks to remove BEDY in advance from death, injury and any loss of improperly stored personal effects. Also if you hoped to pop a bottle of bubbly celebrating an inaugural trip? Make sure it’s non-alcoholic and no lighting of a cigar nor cigarette – What? You thought you were gonna have fun on the trip?

MISSION:
”To provide an alternative and affordable means of transport by promoting, ensuring and maintaining a high level of safety, reliability and professionalism for all passengers and stakeholders thus contributing to the process of regional integration.”

BEDY’S GOAL:
To service twelve destinations in the Caribbean within one year of operation.
We pride ourselves in offering quality competitive prices only because we recognize the need to assist in the Caribbean integration movement and provide an alternative.

ABOUT BEDY OCEANLINE:
BEDY Travel Agency and Associates is a fully incorporated company registered under the laws of Grenada. It is based in St. George’s and represented by its CEO Mr. Benjamin Ross. BEDY Oceanline is a leader in fast ferry passenger services in the Caribbean.

The company offers high-speed catamaran services to points in Trinidad, Grenada, St. Vincent, St. Lucia and Barbados with a fleet of two vessels. One with a capacity of 260 passengers and the other with capacity of 300 passengers.

It is intended that the business will be operated using offices referred to as agencies in five countries namely Grenada, St. Vincent, Trinidad, St Lucia and Barbados.

The business is aimed at satisfying the needs of the lower, middle income groups, service clubs, church organisations and any other persons who may require such a service. It will strive to fill a niche due to high air fares, unemployment, lower tourist revenue based on the international downturn and thus the need to create a service that will transport people who are economically disadvantaged and therefore cannot afford the high airfares.
