Par­ty cruise ship Har­bour Mas­ter is set to re­turn to Trinidad and To­ba­go this week­end. In a Face­book post, the busi­ness con­firmed its de­par­ture from Grena­da and plans to re­sume events. 

The ship’s ac­tiv­i­ties were pre­vi­ous­ly halt­ed due to the court case in­volv­ing Grena­di­an javelin gold medal­ist An­der­son Pe­ters.  

Four of the ves­sel’s crew mem­bers were con­vict­ed of as­sault­ing the ath­lete and his broth­er, Kid­don Pe­ters, 3 weeks ago. The sailors plead­ed guilty and were fined ap­prox­i­mate­ly $55,000 TTD in to­tal. 

In ear­ly Au­gust, a video cir­cu­lat­ing on so­cial me­dia showed crew mem­bers fight­ing the ath­lete, and al­leged­ly throw­ing him over­board. The mat­ter arose af­ter Pe­ters and his broth­er failed to leave the ves­sel af­ter dock­ing.  

On Au­gust 10, the Har­bour Mas­ter and its crew was in Grena­da for one week and sched­uled to re­turn to Trinidad lat­er that night, af­ter two back-to-back events, but was pre­vent­ed from do­ing so due to the in­ci­dent.
