Mouttet meets Port Authority

“Members of the board have met with Mr Mouttet,” she told Newsday. She also said Mouttet, “has requested a number of documents which the Port is addressing.” On August 15, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley appointed Mouttet to investigate the “circumstances surrounding the procurement of the Cabo Star and the Ocean Flower II and the entering into the charter party agreement for these vessels.” The Integrity Commission and the Land and Physical Infrastructure joint select committee (JSC) of the Parliament are also conducting enquiries into the procurement of these vessels.

Lewis also disclosed that the authority was successful in getting an extension on the license of the Cabo Star to transport passengers on the domestic sea bridge.

Lewis said, “I have been advised that the license was extended to November.” This was subsequently confirmed by TT Inter-Island Transportation Company marketing and public relations manager Vilma Lewis-Cockburn.
