CONTINGENCY cargo arrangements are in full effect on the seabridge following the expiry of the MV Cabo Star's lease on January 12, the Port Authority of TT (PATT) says.

In a January 14 news release, PATT said the interim arrangements are supporting the continued movement of essential cargo, passengers and accompanied vehicles during the transition period ahead of the replacement roll-on/roll-off vessel, MV Blue Harmony.

"The contingency measures are being implemented through the co-ordinated deployment of existing vessels, utilising established cargo priorities and booking channels to maintain essential services during this period," the release said.
