Woes on Sister Isle Sisters speak up for Tobago

THE grim newspaper headlines about Tobago don’t begin to describe the extent to which many Tobagonians are suffering. To understand how the collapse of the sea bridge and the resulting economic woes are affecting Tobagonians, one would have to look to proprietors of guesthouses and hotels who’ve seen their profits dwindle; business people who’ve had to close up shop; workers in the hotel and tourism sectors who’ve been sent home; and healthcare providers who have lost their jobs and have had to leave Tobago with their families in tow to find employment in Trinidad’s public health system.

One would need to speak with the average man on the street, including many unemployed single mothers who have been served with eviction notices for defaulting on their rent payments...

I love how fan boys from both political parties suddenly get 20/20 vision and foresight when their respective political party is in opposition. Cause Clearly their political leader never BS the population at anytime whatsoever.

why would I prove u wrong they are currently doing sheit as well but not as much if u remember clearly EVERY WEEK it was a bachannal that outshine the previous one. kinda like how Trump have his country media dazed. but this ferry fiasco is being made political for traction by the opposition and their bloggers/supporters.
When CAL planes were having issues a year or two ago nobody said anything about government or line minister why? because people were more concerned with safety and no ending up with any accidents in the air. Same should be done about the seabridge this is too much of a coincidence.
And I can actually think of one achievement if u want to call it that. Telling the IMF to go wine on a pineapple. Notice they havnt poked their nose in the country affairs since they last said to remove all subsidies and Sheitkicker declined. well except for gas. Man everytime I her gas subsidy I remember that smug look on that fools face when he say the country in riot yet. he is Such a complete tool.

yeah that won't change if u notice Watson Duke has the same boisterous and stubborn attitude same as with Ashworth Jack seems common with Tobagonians. Hell even Robinson even though soft spoken with a bullet in he leg and a gun to his head tell the regiment Attack with full force. I find it unbecoming especially in his press conferences.

^^^No matter the conspiracy theories, sheit is happening on the seabridge putting peoples' lives at risk. Didn't the risk consultants basically say lack of maintenance and part replacement ran the ferries into the state they are in today?

...reading this morning that CAL is to pay LIAT US$ 800,000 for services to supplement the Sea Bridge:

http://newsday.co.tt/2018/04/07/5m-for-liat-flights-to-tobago/

Serious question: In light of the continually mounting costs associated with this fiasco (wet leases to additional Air Carriers, payments for the "cargo barge" and other short term arrangements, wear and tear on the Water Taxis, loss of business to truckers, hoteliers and other small businesses, long term damage to the Tobago brand etc...etc...etc...) wouldn't it have made sense for the Prime Minister to swallow his pride and accept the supposed 5-year contract offered for the retention of the Super Fast Galicia

[sMASH]

when the galacia was in the process of not being renewed, no replacement was there to take up the slack properly. so, with out knowing the details, but with a sense of having to have a contract to award, and the management potential of this latest government, all that ensued far surpassed the blunders we would have expected.

and tobago travelers are getting a river boat to pass through the bocas.

'but we making a port in toco, so it would not have to pass through the bocas'
that is then, it have to pass through the bocas now.

agreed. but I remember there being more to it than the 5 year contract there was alot of unscrupulous tactics used by the local shipping agents acting on behalf of the galacia.
I bet they be like

They SAID it had stuff had gone on in the procurement practise, and the ferry service didn't have a stellar performance. So, no problem if they wanted to weed out corruption... To right ahead, get evidence of the wrong doings and prosecute accordingly.


But all the credibility of righting the wrongs to have fidelity in the service went out the window when it was made public that the galacia people was bidding, winning, then having the criteria changed and having to resubmit.


I can understand the desire for a 5 year contract, in order to lock in a definite earnings for an asset.


Even self if they wanted a new service provider, they could have just retained the galacia for a year again while they get the next provider on line. Instead of demonstrating their management capabilities

the agent was pushing for a multi year contract or nothing at all. So in essence they were on a short term contract indefinitely while the tenders were going out for a new provider. Also the galacia had cargo carrying facilities but the port did not have infrastructure to have the galacia utilize that feature. I remember they would have had to spent a few million to dredge near the Hyatt just for the galacia. which made no sense. Unless the new ferry requires the same thing in which case we back to square one and the board should resign with immediate effect...wait isn't there a new board after that whole thing occurred.. damn this is a sheit pretzel

Exactly. I remember when Guy Smiley during the JSC last year trying to show that the sea bridge fiasco started with the procurement of the super fast galicia. Nobody took him on. The AG going after the broker of the Galicia yet up to now we can't find out who are the people behind Bridgeman's and the KFC report was never made public.

Anybody knows when the JSC will resume?
