I have very limited time so I do not need to engage in that discussion. I want to ask about contingency plans for bad weather in this country. We are an island and we are greatly dependent on shipping. The current system is that if people receive paperwork from anybody in the supply chain in preparation for a vehicle entering the port, there has to be a movement reference number. This is generated because the truck or vehicle is destined for a particular ship. The paperwork then moves on to a pre-boarding number. If, for any reason, that ship cannot sail and do we have a system in place whereby the vehicle can be moved without having to undergo the whole procedure again, in which case we can just change the ship that it boards?
