It was smooth sailing as passengers boarded the T&T Express on time at the Port of Port-of-Spain without any glitches yesterday.
On Wednesday, the Port Authority apologised for the non-sailing of the vessel which had developed electrical problems upon its arrival into Scarborough.
This prevented its timely berthing.
The Port Authority said that repair works have since been completed, adding that the T&T Express resumed its inter-island run from Tobago at 8.30 am and and from Port-of-Spain at 2 pm.
It said the normal schedule was expected to resume today (Friday) from Tobago at 6.30 am and from Port-of-Spain at 2pm.
The Port Authority said cargo vessel, the MV Cabo Star would maintain its daily schedule from Port-of-Spain at 2 pm and from Tobago at 11 pm.
Terminal Manager at the port of Port-of-Spain Ramesh Sankar said passengers who were left stranded on Wednesday were allowed to board the T&T Express yesterday.
There were no long lines at the ferry terminal as the passengers boarded on time and vehicles were also seen being driven onto the vessel shortly after it berthed.
“Everything is running smoothly. We have not had any problems and we do not expect any. The vessel came at the port at 1.30 today (yesterday) and there was no delay in passengers being allowed to board.
“We had no long lines of people wanting to get on board. Even the people who could not get on board on Wednesday we accommodated them. Everything is back on track...we have had no problems,” Sankar added.
One passenger said he was relieved that he could finally get to Tobago as his family members were expecting him since Wednesday.
He echoed similar sentiments of other passengers who said better and more permanent measures were needed to address the sea bridge woes.
