The repair works on the M.V. Cabo Star, arising out of the fire on board the vessel on August 23rd are still in progress.
The Management of the Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago says the vessel is awaiting a shipment of electrical cables, which are not available locally, to replace those cables that were damaged due to the heat.
These items were already sourced externally and are expected to arrive within the country in the coming week.
Upon receipt of these parts, the repairs will continue and the vessel will be recertified to resume its operations.
At this time the resumption date of the M.V. Cabo Star has not been determined.
It says it is aware of the essential nature of this service and will continue to schedule sailings of the Galleons Passage for cargo, during the period of the repairs, from September 2nd to 4th .
