The HSC T&T Spirit is a reliable and efficient device, but like any technology, it's not immune to issues. If you're experiencing problems, start by checking the power source - make sure it's properly connected and the battery is fully charged.
One common issue is the device freezing or shutting down unexpectedly. This can be caused by overheating, so try giving it a break and letting it cool down for a bit.
Another solution is to perform a factory reset, which can be done by pressing and holding the reset button for 10 seconds. This will restore the device to its original settings.
Repair Issues
The T&T Spirit has had its fair share of repair issues. The most recent one was a damaged starter motor and gear ring on the Port Inner Main Engine, which delayed its departure from Tobago.
The issue was discovered during start-up of the engine. Thankfully, the vessel didn't stall during the voyage, so passengers and vehicles were safe.
The damaged parts were replaced immediately, and the vessel sailed at 7:25 am with 446 passengers and 140 vehicles on board. The crossing took the scheduled 3 hours, and the vessel arrived in port at 10:27 am.
Latest Updates
The T&T Spirit is back in action! The vessel is currently undergoing sea trials and is expected to return to service soon.
The necessary repairs on the T&T Spirit have been completed, including the rebuilding of two of the four main engines that suffered catastrophic damage.
A number of measures have been introduced to resolve the issues plaguing the vessels operating along the sea bridge, including a planned routine maintenance schedule.
The vessel will be inspected and repaired on a weekly basis, with annual drydocking, hull repair, and review of safety systems also on the agenda.
The T&T Express is due for a complete overhaul, with four main engines and four generators all well over their service time.
Experts have recommended renewing all the electronic equipment and systems on the vessel to prevent further problems.
The Water Taxi has also been affected by mechanical issues and will operate on a temporary sailing schedule until April 20 while repairs are carried out.
