Forensic probe at port

Young made the disclosure at the post-Cabinet news conference at the Diplomatic Centre in St Ann’s.

Later in the briefing, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley said Bridgemans Services Group (BSG) was free to tender the controversial Ocean Flower II ferry again.

However, Rowley said the vessel’s presence in TT did not mean it would be selected for use on the seabridge.

Young told reporters that when certain people were suspended at the port, the ministry began to investigate a series of emails and other documents pertaining to the procurement of vessels for the seabridge.

He said the ministry has seized, “telephones, computer equipment and the server associated with the port” as part of the forensic investigation which was still in progress.
