Ferry delayed due to bomb scare
A bomb scare at the port in Scarborough has delayed the 6.30 a.m. sailing of the "T&T Spirit" on June 24, 2019. Someone phoned in the threat at 5:12 a.m. Fire Services reponded and did a security sweep of the vessel, subsequently clearing it for sailing. Boarding was allowed to begin afer a fire officer had checked all vehicles waiting to embark on the vessel.
Ferry delayed due to rescue operation
The crew of the "T&T Spirit" was forced into extra duty in the evening of April 16,, 2019, after they engaged in a rescue operation whilst on their way to Scarborough. The captain received a distress call coming from a small pirogue just off Maracas Bay as the vessel was making its way to Tobago. At least four people were later rescued from a boat that had started to drift after their engine failed. Crew members of the "T&T Spirit" were commended for their swift action. The fast ferry docked in the Scarborough Port a few hours later than scheduled.
Ferry sidelined due to technical trouble
The "T&T Spirit" has been sidelined in Port of Spain until Nov 17, 2018, at the earliest. Within recent weeks, the vessel has been plagued by mechanical problems which have resulted in several delays and cancellations. The vessel has not sailed since developing mechanical issues on its journey from Tobago to Trinidad in the morning of Nov 12. The vessel had to be sidelined because a part needs to be acquired from Germany to effect the repairs which was expected to arrive on Nov 15 so the repair could be effected on Nov 16. The part to be sourced was a ‘web connector’, which is found near the engine of the vessel to aid in effective movement.
