There was frustration from THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine today, following information regarding the vessels involved in the oil spill impacting the island.

In a statement, the National Security Ministry said at least two vessels were involved and they appear to have been bound for Guyana.

At a media conference today, Mr Augustine questioned why no one came forward  sooner with information on the vessel.

Mr Augustine also claims that he was not formally informed of an ID being made with regard to the vessels involved in the spill.

The Chief Secretary meanwhile revealed that T&T is receiving assistance from Oil Spill Response Limited, an international company that T&T is associated with.

He says an OSRL team arrived on Monday night, has been reviewing the sites and activities and is providing advice to ensure efforts meet international best practice.
