Despite promises on Thursday that the Cabo Star,the Inter Island cargo vessel would sail, this did not happen. Checks with the Port of Port of Spain on Friday morning indicated that the vessel did not sail because of a faulty ramp that is being repaired.
Scores of truckers have spent up to 24 hours at the Port waiting to leave.
The last time the vessel sailed was last Sunday.
Some Tobago businessmen have suggested that the Inter Island Ferry service should explore the option of having the vessel leave Trinidad at the Port of Point Lisas instead of Port of Spain.
