The real deal on KWL's vehicle hub

The Editor, Sir:

We are deeply disappointed at the level of false information contained in the lead article of your Financial Gleaner of February 26, 2010.

To begin with:

• There was no governmental intervention in arriving at the agreement for the establishment of the vehicle trans-shipment hub;

• KWL is not aware of any partnership with any Trinidad-based freight forwarder;

• The establishment of the hub was independent of other recent expansion projects at KWL;

• The new business will not be split with anyone.

Apart from being false, the above issues were not raised with me, and in any event I specifically said to your reporter that if she wished to obtain information relative to the trans-shipment hub, she could attend a reception scheduled for February 26, 2010, and I so arranged.

We are, therefore, dismayed that such a reputable institution as The Gleaner could publish such erroneous information and hope that in future you would check with us first to ensure that any report published is accurate.
