About this equipment

According to a feedback, dated 9th of August, 2010
The Port of Spain II was sold to a private interest by the Port Authority, about 5 years ago. She is now laid up in Chaguaramas, Trinidad, for refitting. She had an engine room fire in 1998 and was inoperational since. The Port Authority decided not to repair her, but to sell.
She keep her original analogue dredge calculators, and a lot of her equipment is as constructed.
