The Galicia ended its service last month.

Speaking in the Senate, Sinanan indicated that the Port Authority is reviewing other options and will be meeting with the association on Friday. Later in the sitting, Energy Minister Franklin Khan said based on its track record over the last eight months, he was not “particularly happy” with Petrotrin’s performance in terms of the frequency of oil spills in the Gulf of Paria.

He said the company is actively involved in the clean up of beaches in the La Brea area which was affected by an oil spill in January.

Khan also said among other measures to prevent oil spills, Petrotrin is pursuing the development of a more robust asset integrity system.
