Blue Water, Stena Drilling donates wheelchair-accessible vehicle to rehabilitation centre
Blue Water Guyana, in collaboration with Stena Drilling, recently donated a wheelchair-accessible vehicle to the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre in Carmichael Street, Georgetown.
This Rehabilitation Centre provides rehabilitative services and a strong community for children with physical/developmental disabilities, amputations, and hearing impediments.

“We support the centre’s work in providing a supportive environment where children with special needs can thrive and grow. When we became aware of the challenge the centre faced in transporting wheelchair-bound children to school, medical appointments, and just simply to participate in recreational activities outside of the centre, we partnered with Stena Carron Drilling to support the need,” Senior Vice President of Blue Water Guyana, Jennifer Falconer, stated during the handing over ceremony.
This contribution is the latest chapter in a long-standing partnership between the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre and Blue Water Guyana. Over the years, the Blue Water team has closely supported the centre in various ways beyond mere financial support, including supplying equipment for the IT, rehabilitation, and physical therapy departments; and has conducted training sessions for their dedicated staff.
One of the most significant endeavours involves partnering with the centre to provide training for individuals with diverse abilities. Through this programme, Blue Water aims to equip those children with skills that open doors to opportunities within the oil & gas sector, thereby promoting inclusivity and diversity.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre for their outstanding contributions. We feel privileged to be part of their mission, and are steadfast in our commitment to supporting initiatives that generate a positive impact,” Falconer added.
Stena Drilling has said it has also been associated with the Ptolemy Reid Centre since its first vessel arrived in 2016, and is proud to be a part of the joint initiative.
