Given that the majority of containerized shipping into Trinidad is transshipment and they come through the Panama Canal then do the Caribbean circuit before coming to Trinidad last I don't understand how a port on the opposite side of the island would be advantageous especially when the strategic plan for the two existing ports have them trying to cannibalize each other's business. The La Brea port is back on the agenda for the new Economic Advisory Development Board as well so there is a situation of oversaturation within the port and harbour market in the country.
So there is a school of thought that it would be financially feasible...
and like Rory mentioned....if the IADB is willing to fund it then it passed serious scrutiny.

My main concern is that having visited Toco for Easter and seeing what a chaos the place was in.....do we really want the Rajs to have even easier access to that side of the country??
