The board of directors of Transtejo/Soflusa, which provides river service on the Tagus River, today demanded dismissal after a report from the Court of Accounts (TdC) accusing the company of “failure to keep the truth” and illegal and irrational actions. practices.
We are talking about the purchase of nine batteries in the amount of 15.5 million euros (ME) under an additional contract to another contract previously verified by TdC for the purchase for 52.4 ME of ten (one of them already with a battery, for testing) new vessels with battery-electric power plant, to provide public services for passenger traffic between the two banks of the Tagus.
“Transtech bought a complete ship and nine incomplete ships, unable to function because they did not have the batteries necessary for this purpose. The same would be, with the necessary adaptations, buying a car without an engine, a motorcycle without wheels or a bicycle without pedals, leaving it to the procedure after its acquisition,” TDC said.
