Dear Stakeholder,

Bulletin 53 – Summit of the Americas – Implications for Port and Port Users

Trinidad and Tobago is the host country for the Summit of the Americas, which is carded for April 17-19, 2009. This has certain implications for the Port and port users by extension.

From April 9-22, 2009, the Port will have limited use of its quay since this space will be used to accommodate additional conference and hotel requirements via the berthing of two cruise ships.

It is important that Port users note, that we will be unable to handle any General Cargo, Paper or Car Vessels for the period April 9-22, 2009.

We do apologize for this unavoidable restriction in the Port’s operations and trust that this early notification will enable you to amend your schedules without too much disruption and inconvenience to your clients.

If further clarification or information is required, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Graham Evison 623-2901/4 Ext 276 or E-mail: grahame@patnt.com


Yours sincerely,

This is exactly what i was saying, we will be in deficit after all is said and done wrt to the summit. We shelling out hundreds of millions and will not even see a fraction of that in return to our economy.

This is just another case of "look at me" syndrome our PM suffering from.

[Tarantula]

^^everybody else was probably like "look at that dumcnut Manning rushing to spend out his country's $$ to host us when everyone else brakesing from doing it"

Just last night on the Hard Line talkshow presented by Dr. Hamid Ghany,.. one of his guests were talking about said inflation..saying that in Tobago food price inflation in 2008 was 36% whilst it was almost half that in Trinidad for the same period. He also pointed to the fact that the PNM usually gets support when there's plenty $$ to spend... but at the same time i doubt people will vote in another party..which will make it harder for them to get funds..

If Tobago separates itself from Trinidad though... thats another topic I'd like to see discussed.
