The Trinidad and To­ba­go gov­ern­ment says its main pri­or­i­ty now is to fix the in­ter-is­land fer­ry sys­tem be­tween the two is­lands, even as it ac­knowl­edged the on­go­ing ef­forts to cre­ate a re­gion­al trans­port sys­tem in­ter­con­nect­ing Caribbean Com­mu­ni­ty (CARI­COM) Mem­ber States.

“Our first or­der of the day is to get that sea bridge be­tween Trinidad and To­ba­go as right as we could get it,” said Min­is­ter of Works and In­fra­struc­ture, Jear­lean John.

Min­is­ter John was speak­ing at a news con­fer­ence at the head­quar­ters of the rul­ing Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) on Sun­day (Feb­ru­ary 8, 2026).
