New ferry arrived in Port of Spain
The 'Blue Wave Harmony', which as been chartered to replace the 'Cabo Star' on the seabridge, arrived on Jan 22 at the Port of Port of Spain. The ferry will provide increased cargo capacity, enhanced refrigerated storage, and improved passenger accommodations, including cabins and onboard amenities. It is also expected to improve operational reliability, with upgraded systems and built-in redundancies designed to reduce mechanical downtime, which had been a longstanding concern for freight operators and travellers. The Tobago Division of the TT Chamber of Industry and Commerce welcomed the arrival of the vessel, seeing it as a positive and timely development for inter-island cargo movement.

Ferry chartered for Trinidad-Tobago route
The Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago has chartered the 'Blue Wave Harmony', which had served on the route Iskenderun-Haifa until November 2025, to replace the 'Cabo Star' (IMO 8500680) when its lease has expired on Jan12, 2026, representing a significant upgrade, with four main engines to improve redundancy and reduce service disruptions, as well as heavier-duty loading ramps to accommodate bulk and specialised cargo. The ferry was expected to arrive in Trinidad around Jan 18, subject to weather conditions and the completion of regulatory and operational clearances. According to the National Infrastructure Development Company Limited (NIDCO), the acquisition followed a managed procurement process aimed at improving operational compatibility at the ports in Port of Spain and Scarborough, while increasing cargo capacity, passenger comfort, safety and reliability. In the interim, the Trinidad and Tobago Inter-Island Transportation Company Limited has implemented contingency arrangements using existing vessels, including the 'A.P.T. James', 'T&T Spirit' and 'Galleons Passage' in order to ensure the continued movement of essential cargo between Trinidad and Tobago. The 'Blue Wave Harmony' is certified to transport dangerous and specialised cargo and will not require scheduled dry-docking in 2026, allowing for uninterrupted operations. The upgraded facilities were expected to create opportunities for local employment and service providers. The National Infrastructure Development Company (Nidco) had entered into an agreement with the Panamanian ship owner to lease the vessel for an initial period of 12 months. It sailed from Port Said on Dec 29, 2025, reached Limassol on Jan 1 and was due to arrive in Las Palmas on Jan 12.
