The MV Cabo Star, the roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) cargo and passenger ferry that has been providing cargo transport services to TT’s inter-island seabridge since 2017 has been sold by Bridgemans Services Group and will not be available for a renewal of contract when it ends on January 12, 2026.

Minister of Works and Infrastructure Jearlean John confirmed this to Newsday in a phone conversation on December 16.

“The Cabo Star has been sold,” John said. “The government has no obligation to renew any lease. The Cabo star is on the route until January 12 and there is now a procurement process in place and that is all I am going to say after this.”
