Key claims

• ENTIRELY NEW TO THE RECORD: the Ministry of Public Works has, for the first time, published an itemised list of its own consigned cargo aboard the MV Barima on the fatal voyage.
• The Ministry's statement, quoted: "Please be advised, the Ministry of Public Works wishes to inform the public that the consigned cargo aboard the MV Barima, on the Ministry's behalf, at the time of the July 18 Departure, is as follows."
• The list is: "One Honda Side-by-Side ATV"; "Six Drums of Gasoline"; "Four Drums of Diesel."
• The disclosure was made "yesterday" — i.e. 29 July 2026.
• The Ministry acted "under pressure over how much of its cargo had been on the MV Barima on July 18th when it capsized and killed more than 70 persons."
• [SINGLE SOURCE] No other outlet in this survey carries the Ministry's cargo list.
• The list is a statement by the Ministry about its own consignment only; it is not a manifest, is not audited, and says nothing about total cargo aboard or about stowage. It should not be read as a finding on loading.
