No problem with Transporter

He said there was a delay in the Transporter’s departure from Port-of-Spain on Wednesday because of a delay in getting the necessary clearance from the Customs Division, “before a foreign flag vessel can move from one port to another.” Sinanan added that the transit time of the barge was 12 hours.
