Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar today confirmed government’s cancellation of the contract to bring three Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) to secure this country’s coast.
The OPVs were scheduled to be used by the Coast Guard in this country’s fight against drug and gun trafficking.
The £150 million contract with BAE Systems to build and commission three OPVs is cancelled, Persad-Bissessar confirmed today.
But in contrast to the reports being circulated Persad-Bissessar said its is BAE that owes this country money and not vice versa.
