00:05The TNC Seabridge Truckers Limited, now launched, is promising to do what its name suggests, bridging gaps.
00:13The aim, to resolve the various issues that surface from time to time on the Seabridge.
00:18Its president, Nicholas Manswell, highlights the need to create cohesion.
00:22We envision improved communication between all stakeholders, enhancing safety and security, better facilities for the truckers.
00:32I want to reiterate this a little bit, better facilities for the truckers, greater operational efficiency and a transportation system
00:43that supports the economic growth of both Trinidad and Tobago.
00:48Manswell champions mutual respect as being the sales to positive change, and the organization envisions it being grounded on longevity.
00:57And to the logistics sector, depending on the Seabridge, Manswell makes this call.
01:03Join us. Become part of this organization. Your ideas matters. Your experience matters. Your voice matters.
01:16Apart from signaling its intention to leverage technology in the online space to carry out its functions, like hosting meetings,
01:25the entity is focused on benefits for its members, as registration is carded to roll out soon.
01:31We intend to get membership discounts from the suppliers of relevant goods and services, example, tires, lubricants, batteries, and other
01:42related items that are needed for the function effectively.
01:48Discounts from suppliers of vehicles will also be pursued.
01:53The health and well-being of all members is of paramount importance.
01:57That is why we will be seeking the most affordable group health plan for those who have not yet had
02:04health coverage.
02:05Assistant Technical Superintendent at the Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago, Andre Caseman,
02:10points out that truckers, while critical to T&T's development, are often overlooked.
02:15Caseman says, while his relationship with the company was born in turbulent times, the underlying mutual interest is wanting the
02:23best for the Seabridge.
02:25Members of this organization presented thoughtful recommendations.
02:30Not complaints, but recommendations.
02:34Suggesting to improve the efficiency, suggesting to improve communication, suggesting to improve scheduling,
02:42suggesting to improve the experience of everyone who depends on the Seabridge.
02:48Some of these recommendations have already been implemented.
02:52And talks are ongoing on other ideas.
02:55Meanwhile, the T&T Seabridge truckers limited outlines that bilateral discussions are also underway with the Tobago House of Assembly.
