The M.V. Gold­en Car­ri­er will soon join Trinidad and To­ba­go’s in­ter is­land car­go seabridge, re­plac­ing the M.V. Blue Wave Har­mo­ny while the lat­ter un­der­goes sched­uled main­te­nance and up­grades, ac­cord­ing to the Na­tion­al In­fra­struc­ture De­vel­op­ment Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed (NID­CO).

NID­CO said the change will come at no ad­di­tion­al cost to the State as the sub­sti­tu­tion is be­ing made un­der the ex­ist­ing Char­ter Par­ty Agree­ment (CPA) signed on De­cem­ber 18, 2025.

The agree­ment was struc­tured as an ini­tial six month char­ter with the op­tion of a fur­ther six month ex­ten­sion. At the end of the ini­tial pe­ri­od, the ves­sel’s own­er opt­ed to sub­sti­tute the Blue Wave Har­mo­ny with the Gold­en Car­ri­er to fa­cil­i­tate main­te­nance works.
