Govt did not terminate Galicia lease

Cudjoe explained that while the new board of the Port Authority are considering other recommendations for the domestic seabridge when the Galicia ends its service on April 21, the TT Spirit and TT Express will be used to transport critical supplies and perishable goods to Tobago.

Earlier in the sitting, Works and Transport Minister Rohan Sinanan said the authorised signatory for the charter party agreement for the Galicia was signed by permanent secretary in the transport ministry, Verna Johnson.

The Galicia was acquired under the former People’s Partnership government.
