Al­though the Port Au­thor­i­ty of T&T in­clud­ed ad­di­tion­al sail­ings on the sea bridge to­day to ac­com­mo­date pas­sen­gers who had been strand­ed as a re­sult of the pas­sage of Hur­ri­cane Beryl – more sail­ings are sched­uled for to­mor­row.

Ac­cord­ing to of­fi­cials, the ur­gent de­mand by peo­ple to re­turn to Trinidad and the back­log cre­at­ed by the can­celled sail­ings on Sun­day should be cleared by then.

Hun­dreds of pas­sen­gers flocked to the port in Scar­bor­ough this morn­ing hop­ing to be ac­com­mo­dat­ed on the fer­ry sail­ings to Trinidad.

Af­fect­ed peo­ple re­port­ed­ly lined up from mid­night on Mon­day, as they com­pet­ed to get on one of the three ves­sels added to the sail­ing sched­ule.

Valmi­ki Su­chit of Mar­aval ar­rived in To­ba­go on Sun­day, and while he had a con­firmed tick­et to re­turn to­day – he went to the port at 3 am as the first come first served ad­vi­so­ry had made him anx­ious.

He told CNC 3, “I am just hop­ing to go home.”

Sev­er­al sail­ings were can­celled as Hur­ri­cane Beryl ap­proached the Wind­ward Is­lands.

On Mon­day, the Port Au­thor­i­ty in­di­cat­ed the ATP James, the Buc­coo Reef, and the Galleons Pas­sage would be added to the sail­ing line-up.

Strand­ed peo­ple com­plained of be­ing out of pock­et as the can­cel­la­tion had forced many to dig deep to cov­er their stay for the ad­di­tion­al days.
