Akash Sama­roo and

Chief Sec­re­tary Far­ley Au­gus­tine is ask­ing To­bag­o­ni­ans for “pa­tience” and “grace” as the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly and Min­istry of Works at­tempt to ad­dress is­sues on the seabridge, as the MV Blue Wave Har­mo­ny re­mains out of ser­vice.

In­ter-is­land trans­porta­tion was hit a dou­ble blow last Fri­day when the MV Blue Wave Har­mo­ny, the new car­go ves­sel meant to re­place the Cabo Star, sus­tained dam­age to its hull while at­tempt­ing to berth at the Port of Scar­bor­ough in To­ba­go. Then on Sun­day (Feb­ru­ary 1), the T&T Spir­it en­coun­tered sig­nif­i­cant trou­ble and was with­drawn from ser­vice.
