The Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce is warning of serious commercial fallout from ongoing sea bridge cargo constraints between Port of Spain and Tobago.
Businesses report longer delivery times, fewer weekly sailings, and truck turnaround cycles now stretching up to 52 hours.
The Chamber says the delays are driving up fuel and transport costs, straining fleet capacity and increasing the risk of spoilage for refrigerated goods.
It is calling for urgent talks with the Ministry and the Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago to improve sailing frequency, cargo handling and driver welfare.
