Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago will soon experiment with the setting up of a ferry service between the two countries to transport people and cargo.

The announcement was made yesterday by President Irfaan Ali during a press conference hosted at State House with Trinidad’s  Prime Minister Keith Rowley on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was signed for co-operation in a number of areas.

“…As we speak to you now we are already exploring the possibility of having a cargo plus ferry facility as an experiment between Guyana and Trinidad moving people and goods and services… We cannot address any issues unless we create a platform, the vehicle that will allow us to do that and this MoU does that,” President Ali said during opening remarks on the memorandum between the two countries.
