Second Delivery of Humanitarian Assistance to Affected Outer Islands

Palikir, Pohnpei (FSM Information Services): March 26, 2009 - Yesterday, March 25, 2009 the MS Caroline Voyager departed on the second run to deliver humanitarian assistance to the outer islands of Pohnpei and Chuuk to help those islands that were affected by the tidal surge back in December of 2008. The outer islands of Yap will be serviced by the Yap State vessel, MV Hapilmohol. Rice is the only food staple that will be delivered on these disaster relief runs. This rice was purchased with funds decreed during the emergency and obligated for rice only. Since the emergency declaration was not extended by Congress, the plan, as it was set back in December of 2008, will proceed and this will be the second and last delivery of food relief to the affected outer islands.

The schedule of the MS Voyager is as follows:
