You all realize this is all a plot by the government to purposely frustrate people, so that they will seem justified to switch focus from the south highway to the Toco highway and new Tobago port there?
And then watch and see, a project that will be anno8nced t cost us $100 million, will reach $1 billion . How else you think they plan to steal!

QUESTIONS surround Bridgemans Trinidad LP and Bridgemans Services Group following the leasing of Ocean Flower 2 and Cabo Star to service the seabridge.
The Port Authority announced on June 30 it had leased the vessels from Bridgemans based in Vancouver, Canada.
TV6 News attempted to make calls to Bridgemans Service Group president Brian Grange in Canada to ask about the company’s ferry service track record and other issues but despite several messages left calls were not returned.
TV6 News contacted Tanel Hinno, technical manager of Bridgemans Services Group at their other office in Estonia, who admitted they were just getting their feet wet in the ferry business.
“We are now getting into the ferry service,” he said.
“In fact we have now leased two vessels to Trinidad and Tobago. And we are now trying to do business in Europe.”
Hinno said he was unable to answer any further questions about the owners of the vessel and asked us to send him an e-mail with further questions to be forwarded to the head office in Canada.
This was done but there was no response.........................http://www.trinidadexpress.com/20170718 ... siness8217

The people that you would think would have intimate knowledge of the progress of the dry docked ferry, which is already two weeks overdue, like Roundabout Rohan and Chairman of the PATT Allison Lewis, don't have a clue.

So why are we not talking to say INCAT about laying keels on a fleet of properly specd fast ferries?

Form a Co-to own the boats... TT Ferry Service.
Get the local banks to syndicate the loans for the eventual purchase.

GORTT can lease the ferries from TTFS at market rates in order to repay loans etc-

Reverse auction the management and maintenance contracts to a local ops company with specific KPIs

At the end we have the ferries, locals employed...and the only forex that leaving is the cost of the vessels.

Interest,fees and lease monies paid to local entities..

[Ben_spanna]

Media needs to deeply investigate the companies involved in the supply , management , maintenance of the older and NEW ferries, and if anyone in Government has family ties to any of these companies, they need to be fired and prosecuted!

Much for money to be had on reactive approaches than on proactive ones.
Reactive approaches also allow for the bypassing of established procurement systems.

so lets jus do the maths ...

PNM has about 41 mths in office again rite
41 x 30 days = 1230
1230 x 185 500 per day = $ 228 165 000.00
total profit of 228 165 000 - 38 500 000 = $ 189 665 000.00

$189 665 000.00 before maintenance etc
PNM could of bought about 5 boats and fuel for the cost of renting 1

Wonder if any of them did maths for csec?

[ADONI]

Why can't we have our own??? Then, there is the lackadaisical thinking when it come to maintenance. They go say buy it and run it to failure, then we go fix it then...

[Chimera]

Well, if we have reasonably priced public transport which is reliable, nobody will care how much gas price rises to.
