PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad -- An additional inter-island ferry will soon be available for passengers to travel back and forth between the sister isles of Trinidad and Tobago.

The government is expected to invest at least $48 million annually to provide this newest service on board the MV Super-Fast Galicia. The service is expected to be a hefty $10 million less than the lease of the TT Warrior Spirit.

This was disclosed by Transport Minister Stephen Cadiz during a recent post-Cabinet news conference. The Galicia, he said, is expected to arrive in the country before the Easter weekend, just in time for the Tobago Jazz Festival, from April 19 to 27.
