Renegotiate US$5,000 daily ferry rate—Suruj

The Government should renegotiate the US$5,000 daily rate for the Tobago ferry because of T&T's serious financial straits — and especially if $28 million has to be spent to dredge the Port to accommodate it, UNC MP Dr Suruj Rambachan has said.

Rambachan spoke about the issue during yesterday's Parliament debate on the 2018 Budget.

He noted a Budget item concerning a $49m allocation for Port dredging for the Superfast Galicia vessel in 2017 — but nothing was spent. He also noted a $28m allocation for dredging for 2018.

"Is it that the Ocean Flower 2 ferry also requires dredging? The Prime Minister has spoken of having to pay US$5,000-6,000 daily for the ferry, why not renegotiate this because paying US$5,000 daily over 360 days is a lot."
