Lacking the postcard beaches that draw tourists to neighboring islands, Trinidad depends mostly on oil and industry. The Trintomar venture stumbled over a series of drilling mishaps and in 1992 was in danger of defaulting on a loan to Nissho Iwai, a Japanese company that had financed the project. Three big international lenders submitted proposals to refinance the $61.5 million balance owed to Nissho Iwai.
