Tobago’s business remains a national priority, as highlighted by the Honourable Jearlean John, Minister of Works and Infrastructure, during a recent tour of the MV Blue Wave Harmony cargo ferry. The Minister was accompanied by the Honourable Farley Augustine, Chief Secretary of the Tobago House of Assembly; Dr. Rodney Ramroop, Chairman of the Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago; and Mr. Ravi Seereeram, President (Ag.) of the National Infrastructure Development Company Limited. During the tour, the delegation examined the vessel’s modern features, including its heavy-duty loading ramps, four main engines designed for improved reliability, and enhanced passenger amenities such as 73 passenger cabins, a 142-seat self-service restaurant, lounge and entertainment areas, and improved accessibility features—marking a significant upgrade to the inter-island fleet.
The addition of the MV Blue Wave Harmony is expected to significantly strengthen the inter-island Sea Bridge by improving cargo capacity, efficiency and reliability between Trinidad and Tobago. With the ability to carry approximately 125 freight units and accommodate 31 refrigerated containers, the vessel will enhance the movement of goods, support business activity and reduce logistical constraints. This investment in maritime infrastructure will help strengthen trade, improve the ease of doing business and build a more resilient and dependable Sea Bridge—supporting economic growth and delivering tangible benefits to businesses and consumers across both islands.
