The Port Au­thor­i­ty of Trinidad and To­ba­go says it has se­cured a new roll-on/roll-off pas­sen­ger and car­go ves­sel, the MV Blue Wave Har­mo­ny, to re­place the MV Cabo Star when its lease ex­pires on Jan­u­ary 12, 2026.

The ves­sel is ex­pect­ed to ar­rive in Trinidad around Jan­u­ary 18, sub­ject to weath­er con­di­tions and the com­ple­tion of reg­u­la­to­ry and op­er­a­tional clear­ances.

Ac­cord­ing to the Na­tion­al In­fra­struc­ture De­vel­op­ment Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed (NID­CO), the ac­qui­si­tion fol­lowed a man­aged pro­cure­ment process aimed at im­prov­ing op­er­a­tional com­pat­i­bil­i­ty at the ports in Port of Spain and Scar­bor­ough, while in­creas­ing car­go ca­pac­i­ty, pas­sen­ger com­fort, safe­ty and re­li­a­bil­i­ty.
