Comptroller of Customs Owen Holder is giving Barbadians the assurance that by next Friday, the backlog in clearing containers at the Bridgetown Port should be considerably reduced.

Holder was speaking to the Weekend Nation yesterday, after frustrated customers took to social media expressing concerns over shipments not received from Aeropost, DHL, UPS and Laparkan, dating back to last September in some instances.
