With the MV Cabo Star currently undergoing repairs, one market vendor reported that she was not affected by the disruption in goods being shipped to Tobago. She explained that she relies on Tobago resources, but it has affected her neighboring tenant. Another vendor mentioned that he has explored alternative methods but stressed the significance of the MV Cabo Star. He emphasised that it enables people to start their business activities in Trinidad at daybreak and return home to their families the same day.
