Just so everyone knows what this is about, here is the Daily Herald article. Back in 2012, it was proposed to build a tunnel running from the entrance near Port-de-Plaisance into the hill in Cole Bay and coming out in St Peters. The article is here. Who knows if this will ever come to fruition.

Did I understand the article? Sounds like the Chinese are willing to build this at no cost to St. Maarten but they will maintain ownership and have the right to impose, collect and retain fees for usage.?
So! if I actually understood the gist of the article, that sure sounds like a deal, doesn't it? Pardon my skepticism, but I sincerely hope they're far better at constructing tunnels than they are at producing safe pet foods, childrens toys and paints, just for starters. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
