    There are ship that should not be in service until properly inspected & maintained. Furthermore, Captains operating these vessels should hold credentials that reflect their training and experience. Any fool can steer a ship, just not very well…

    The Regulations and Registration of Seagoing personnel is presently receiving the attention of the Caribbean Engineering Technology Fraternity
    Steps will be introduced to address the concerns expressed by the readers
    First is the “Audit of the Vessels” to ensure compliance to.best operating practices.
    Second is the “Audit of Personnel” to ensure that they are competent to operate the vessel.

    I’m advised that it was a local marine contractor vessel that did the rescue and delivered the 8 member crew to TT Coast Guard base in Chaguaramas, and that TTCG did not participate in the actual rescue as stated in the article. Can the author confirm?

    In addition to the poor conditions of these vessels there is the quality of man power who handle the vessels. Most of the skippers have no formal training in operating a ship. The deck hands are mostly unskilled and untrained. The conditions aboard these vessels are apalling and it is surprising that these boats are afloat and people are allowed to travel on them it is time for the authorities in both Grenada and Trinidad examine these vessels.

    Thank God no life was lost and all crew members are safe and well.
    This is good time examine some of these vessels which commutes between our neighbours and set some standards in which they must adhere to.
    I have seen some of the conditions of a selected few vessels and they should not be in service
    I am sure there is a governing body who is responsible for the standards of vessels operating between our islands.
    If this is the case they better start doing their work to ensure these vessels are in good condition to operate in our waters regardless who own them.
