- Rope
- Duct tape

Harbour Master, Captain Chad Murray said "We are delighted to be able to support the appeal. Although the Caribbean is a long way away from Guernsey, there are many islanders with links out there either through business, family or friends. The pictures we have seen in the media are shocking and the devastation is simply horrifying. Please donate items as per the list which will assist in the Caribbean islanders to rebuild their communities."
