According to Darwin Telemaque, the action comes after reports that Isaac blocked the gate that releases cargo and refused to comply with instructions issued by port security officers during the incident.

Telemaque indicated that Isaac’s alleged conduct disrupted operations and raised security concerns, prompting management to intervene.

When Isaac, the owner of Ewart Isaac Trucking Services, arrived at the port this morning, he was denied entry.

    The driver should be the one who denied entry at the port, not the truck. The truck owner should be notified the day the incident occurred so he can send another driver.

      The driver was the owner of the truck
      That’s why he was denied entry
