For nearly 40 years, the Caribbean Shipping Association (CSA) has worked to bring together people and business entities from the English, Spanish, French and Dutch Caribbean into one organisation. The fact that the association has expanded its services and has grown to the size it is today is testimony to the success of its mission.

The.CSA.is.pleased.to.present.this.2009-2012.edition.of.its.Handbook.of.Caribbean.Ports.to.the.peoples.of.the.Caribbean.and.the.world.as.the.only.comprehensive.handbook.of.the.Caribbean’s.major.seaports..Once.again.the.CSA.is.delivering.on.its.commitment.to.provide.a.comprehensive.reference.manual.for.researchers.as.well.as.for.port.users.across.the.region.

THE CARIBBEAN SHIPPING ASSOCIATION

The.Caribbean.Shipping.Association.(CSA),.the.voice.of.the.region’s.shipping.industry,.repre-sents.private.and.public.sector.interests.across.the.Caribbean..

The.CSA,.which.was.set.up.in.1971,.has.since.been.representing.its.members.in.all.relevant.regional.and.hemispheric.forums.–.governmental,.multi-lateral.and.private..CSA.membership.comprises.12.national.shipping.associations.and.over.100.individual.members,.including.national.and.regional.port.authorities,.terminal.and.seaport.operators,.shipping.agents,.shipping.lines,.tug.and.salvage.companies,.consultants,.freight.forwarders,.leasing.companies.and.others..

All.of.the.four.language.groups.in.the.Caribbean.–.English,.Spanish,.French.and.Dutch.–.are.repre-sented.in.the.CSA..However,.the.official.language.of.the.Association.is.English..

PRIMARY FUNCTIONS The.primary.functions.of.the.CSA.are:.exchange.of.information.and.ideas.essential.to.develop-ment;.business.efficiency;.the.effective.utilisation.of.members’.facilities.and.services;.and.training..

CSA.conferences.and.general.meetings,.attended.by.the.leaders.and.decision-makers.of.Caribbean.shipping,.are.held.twice.a.year.in.a.different.terri-tory..These.conferences.and.meetings.provide.a.unique.forum.for.learning.and.for.gathering.useful.and.current.information.about.all.aspects.of.shipping..Such.conferences.are.also.invaluable.for.industry.networking.and.for.establishing.and.consolidating.business.contacts..

CSA.disseminates.information.and.provides.technical.forums.for.the.discussion.of.ideas,.developments.and.trends..Attendance.at.CSA.conferences.is.generally.over.150.delegates.but,.as.is.the.case.with.the.Annual.General.Meeting,.Conference.and.Exhibition,.held.during.the.third.week.of.October,.can.number.well.over.250.delegates..

The.CSA.also.promotes.and.serves.the.interests.of.its.membership.through.consultation,.training.programmes.and.direct.assistance,.not.only.to.all.members.but.also.to.regional.organisations.and.governments..

As.a.catalyst.for.regional.development,.the.CSA.promotes.an.annual.competition.which.encour-ages.efficiency,.dependability,.growth.and.development.of.the.region’s.seaports..The.two.annual.‘Caribbean.Port.of.the.Year’.competitions.are.the.main.vehicle.in.this.effort.as.it.recognises.outstanding.performances.of.container.terminals.and.multipurpose.ports..

CSA HISTORY The.need.to.establish.an.effective,.broad-based.regional.organisation.to.monitor,.discuss.and.share.information.in.support.of.the.growth.and.development.of.shipping.in.the.Caribbean.was.accepted.in.the.1960s.when.regional.shipping.interests.realised.that.there.was.much.to.learn.and.emulate.from.the.initiatives.and.strategies.being.pursued.in.other.Caribbean.territories.to.solve.similar.problems..Specifically,.the.revolutionary.achievements.by.the.Shipping.Association.of.Jamaica.in.successfully.negotiating.with.hostile.unions.for.the.mechanisation.of.the.Port.of.Kingston.started.a.process.where.port.interests.across.the.Caribbean.met.to.exchange.ideas..

The.CSA.grew.out.of.the.informal.meetings,.then.being.held.twice.a.year,.between.the.national.shipping.associations.of.Trinidad,.Barbados,.Bermuda.and.Jamaica..They.met.to.discuss.common.problems.and.to.identify.solutions..

At.the.fourth.of.these.informal.meetings,.which.then.included.all.the.major.national.shipping.associations.in.the.region,.it.was.decided.to.form.a.CSA..The.initial.objective.was.to.bring.together.all.parties.interested.in.the.shipping.industry.of.the.Caribbean.with.a.view.to.the.closest.integra-tion.of.these.interests.and.the.exchange.of.expe-riences,.advice.and.information.and.to.serve.the.region.as.a.whole..

By.1971,.meeting.in.the.Bahamas,.the.pioneers.had.written.a.constitution,.articles.of.association.and.the.12.individuals.present.voted.the.CSA.into.existence..

�

In.its.early.years,.the.CSA.concentrated.on.exchanging.views.on.areas.of.common.interest.and.producing.reports.on.industry.practices.and.port.development.in.the.region..Comprehensive.technical.papers.were.presented.on.subjects.such.as.shipping.agency.operations,.documenta-tion.within.ports,.containerisation,.movement.and.handling.of.refrigerated.cargo,.port.manage-ment,.port.development.and.cargo.liability..

By.1973.the.Association.had.expanded.the.scope.of.its.activities..The.programme.for.annual.general.meetings.was.expanded.to.include.technical.papers.by.international.shipping.authorities..The.CSA.also.launched.the.two.publications:.the.now.discon-tinued.Caribbean.Shipping.(a.quarterly.journal).and.the.triennial.Caribbean.Ports.Handbook..

In.1976,.the.CSA.saw.the.need.to.review.its.constitution.in.order.to.identify.and.rationalise.its.future.role.in.shipping.in.the.Caribbean..As.a.result,.a.new.constitution.came.into.force.at.the.seventh.AGM.in.Puerto.Rico.in.October.1977..This.new.constitution.opened.membership.to.ship-owners.and.operators..

By.the.turn.of.the.decade.in.the.1980s,.in.just.10.years,.the.CSA.had.become.a.truly.multinational.association,.accepted.by.governments.and.multi-lateral.organisations.as.the.representative.voice.of.shipping.in.the.Caribbean..

By.the.end.of.the.millennium.the.CSA.was.firmly.established.as.the.representative.voice.of.regional.shipping,.respected.and.supported.by.government.and.private.interests.within.and.outside.the.Caribbean..

THE DOMINICA EMPLOYERS’ FEDERATION (DEF)

The.Dominica.Employers’.Federation.(DEF).was.inaugurated.on.28.March.1966.with.an.initial.membership.of.23.representing.industry,.ship-ping,.agriculture.and.commerce..

Upon.registration.as.a.trade.union.on.4.April.1966.under.the.revised.laws.of.Dominica,.the.DEF.received.a.licence.to.bargain.collectively.in.the.area.of.labour.management.

EMPLOYERS:.The.federation.is.a.non-partisan,.non-profit,.non-sectarian.association.of.employers.acting.together.in.pursuance.of.certain.aims.without.taking.on.any.formal.sepa-rate.legal.structure..The.constitution.of.the.DEF.provides.for.the.formation.and.functioning.of.professional.and/or.interest.groups.within.the.umbrella.organisation.

From.the.inauguration.of.the.federation,.the.ship-ping.group.has.functioned.as.a.national.shipping.association,.catering.for.the.specific.needs.of.members.with.an.interest.in.maritime.affairs.

The.group’s.primary.role,.however,.is.the.pursuit.of.industrial.peace.in.the.shipping.industry..It.is.a.key.player.in.this.regard.with.port,.terminal.and.cargo.handling.operators.and.the.government’s.regulatory.machinery.

CO-OPERATION:.Human.resource.development.has.been.added.to.the.group’s.mandate.and.has.resulted.in.much.co-operation.with.the.regional.Trainmar.centre.in.the.planning.and.delivery.of.training.programmes.locally.

The.DEF.Shipping.Group.is.a.founding.member.of.the.Caribbean.Shipping.Association.and,.with.one.or.two.exceptions,.has.always.participated.in.CSA.meetings.

The.DEF.Shipping.Group.is.currently.inactive.and.efforts.are.being.made.to.revamp.it.

SHIPPING ASSOCIATION OF GUYANA

Port.Georgetown.is.on.the.north.coast.of.Guyana.along.the.east.bank.of.the.Demerara.River..It.stretches.for.16.km.inward.from.the.river.mouth.along.the.Demerara.ship.channel,.with.an.average.depth.of.5.8.metres.at.low.tide.

Since.1.July.1999.the.port.has.been.run.by.a.Maritime.Administration.Department.operating.under.the.aegis.of.the.Maritime.Act..Previously,.port.operations.were.administered.by.the.Transport.&.Harbours.Department.as.an.agency.of.the.Ministry.of.Works.&.Transport.

Port.Georgetown.has.a.number.of.independent.pier.operators,.either.privately.owned.or.public.corporations..Principal.among.these.are.John.Fernandes.Ltd,.Muneshwers.Ltd,.Guyana.National.Shipping.Corporation.Ltd,.Guyana.National.Industrial.Company.Inc,.Demerara.Shipping.Company.Ltd,.Demerara.Sugar.Terminals.Ltd,.and.Deo’s.International.Distribution.Company.Ltd.(DIDCO)..The.Guyana.Sugar.Corporation.operates.a.bulk.loading.facility.for.sugar.and.the.Caribbean.Molasses.Company.Ltd.has.a.similar.facility.for.molasses.

These.operators.and.other.stakeholders.have.come.together.to.form.the.Shipping.Association.of.Guyana.to.present.a.unified.front.in.pursuit.of.common.interests..Recently,.the.association.underwent.a.restructuring.process.and.changed.its.articles.from.that.of.a.company.to.one.of.a.trusteeship.model,.which.is.more.suited.in.the.pursuit.of.the.interests.of.its.members..The.trustees.are.vested.with.overall.responsibility.for.the.property.and.funds.of.the.association,.as.well.as.rule.making,.while.a.managing.committee.consisting.of.a.chairman,.vice.chairman.and.eight.other.committee.members.conducts.the.general.business.of.the.association.

Resilience:.decisions.by.the.association.are.not.legally.binding.on.members,.so.adherence.is.based.on.moral.suasion..However,.the.current.intention.is.to.enact.a.code.of.ethics.which.will.allow.for.members.to.be.bound.by.its.terms.

Port.Georgetown.is.still.a.developing.port.of.which.most.of.the.piers.are.of.timber.construc-tion.and.as.such.cannot.accommodate.gantry.cranes..This.restriction.obviously.prevents.vessels.without.derricks.from.visiting.most.of.the.facili-ties..However,.this.situation.is.currently.changing,.in.that.a.few.operators.are.in.the.process.of.installing.reinforced.concrete.berths.in.their.modernisation.drive.

Relevant.authorities.are.engaged.in.pursuing.recommendations.by.experts.commissioned.by.the.IADB.for.the.further.development.of.the.port.to.accommodate.the.rapid.pace.of.technological.innovations.

THE SHIPPING ASSOCIATION OF JAMAICA

The.Shipping.Association.of.Jamaica.(SAJ).was.established.in.the.1930s.and.has.been.an.active.participant.in.ensuring.that.Jamaica’s.shipping.industry.remains.competitive.and.viable.

With.offices.close.to.the.Port.of.Kingston,.the.asso-ciation.has.recorded.steady.growth.in.its.member-ship,.spanning.shipping.agents,.terminal.opera-tors,.stevedoring.companies,.hauliers,.NVOCCs,.shipowners.and.operators.and.providers.of.busi-ness.support.services.to.the.port.community.

Registered.as.a.trade.union,.one.of.the.associa-tion’s.prime.functions.is.regulating.the.supply.and.management.of.certain.categories.of.labour.in.the.port..The.association.is.also.involved.in.industrial.relations,.training,.security,.information.technology.and.in.establishing.uniform.stan-dards.and.rates.of.remuneration..The.SAJ.has.a.strong.advocacy.and.lobbying.remit,.and.liaises.with.government.agencies.and.private.sector.organisations.to.ensure.the.continued.develop-ment.of.Jamaica’s.shipping.industry.

Maintaining.a.pool.of.220.skilled.workers,.the.SAJ.manages.a.labour.recruiting.centre,.from.which.stevedores.are.assigned.daily.duties..In.1998.the.association.signed.a.historic.labour.agreement.which.abolished.many.of.the.restrictive.practices.in.place,.thereby.heightening.the.port’s.competi-tiveness.

The.association.has.a.10-member.managing.committee,.but.the.ongoing.work.of.the.organisa-

�5

tion.is.undertaken.by.a.highly.efficient.and.profes-sional.secretariat..A.strong.voluntary.committee.structure.supports.the.work.of.the.managing.committee..The.secretariat.also.provides:.specialised.training.opportunities;.general.information.on.developments.in.the.industry;.specialised.information.packages;.project.support;.and.community.outreach.programmes.

Long.before.it.became.fashionable.to.have.a.strong.IT.policy,.the.SAJ.formed.a.wholly.owned.subsidiary,.Port.Computer.Services.Ltd..This.company.provides.much.of.the.IT.backbone.and.support.to.the.port.infrastructure.

The.association.also.established.a.K9.Division.to.provide.professional.security.services.to.the.port.community.as.well.as.to.exporters.and.freight.forwarders..

A.founding.member.of.the.Caribbean.Shipping.Association.whose.secretariat.is.housed.at.the.SAJ’s.head.office,.the.SAJ.recognises.the.impor-tance.of.networking.and.regional.integration.and.has.therefore.been.a.major.contributor.to.the.CSA’s.development.

The.SAJ.goes.from.strength.to.strength,.and.views.its.mission.as.developing.a.socially.aware,.technically.competent,.quality.driven,.profes-sional.and.nationally.aware.organisation.that.is.determined.to.provide.value-added.service.to.its.membership.and.the.wider.port.community.

PUERTO RICO SHIPPING ASSOCIATION

The.Puerto.Rico.Shipping.Association.celebrates.its.38th.anniversary.on.1.October.2005.

Following.its.inception,.the.association.has.grown.to.a.group.of.32.companies.dedicated.to.numerous.sectors.of.the.maritime.business..Its.tasks.have.expanded.to.include.the.representation.of.its.membership.in.various.sociopolitical.forums,.as.well.as.acting.as.a.clearing.house.for.numerous.maritime-related.initiatives.

During.the.past.several.years,.the.association.has.focused.on.improving.port.productivity,.reducing.operating.costs.and.maintaining.San.Juan.as.the.premier.cruise.ship.home.port.in.the.Caribbean..Projects.such.as.the.dredging.of.the.San.Juan.harbour.have.allowed.greater.draught.vessels.to.call.Puerto.Rico..The.dredging.of.Ponce.harbour.to.55.ft.is.under.way..The.long.negotiated.Puerto.Nuevo.Land.Distribution.project.has.finally.given.way.to.a.redistribution.of.waterfront.acreage.that.will.allow.improvements.in.terminal.productivity.

Recent.tariff.negotiations.between.the.Puerto.Rica.Ports.Authority.and.the.PR.Shipping.Association.have.culminated.in.a.reasonable.rate.increase.which.is.guaranteed.through.2008..The.Puerto.Rico.Tourism.Dept.has.also.stepped.forward.and.negoti-ated.a.cruise.passenger.incentives.programme.with.the.Florida-Caribbean.Cruise.Association.which.will.extend.up.to.2011..Both.of.these.agreements.will.add.tariff.stability.and.allow.for.long-term.planning,.elements.necessary.for.sustainable.growth.

ACTIVE MEMBER:.The.Puerto.Rico.Shipping.Association.is.an.active.member.of.the.PR.Manufacturers’.Association,.the.PR.Chamber.of.Commerce,.the.Florida-Caribbean.Cruise.Association.and.the.Caribbean.Shipping.Association.

THE SHIPPING ASSOCIATION OF ST KITTS

The.Shipping.Association.of.St.Kitts.was.formed.in.1970..The.objectives.of.the.association.at.its.inception,.were.to.unite.member.shipping.agents.and.stevedoring.contractors.in.the.practices.and.procedures.undertaken.when.handling.ships,.cargoes.and.passengers.in.port.and.to.negotiate.with.labour.organisations.and.with.government.on.matters.affecting.the.membership..The.asso-ciation.was.also.structured.to.provide.a.pool.of.support.services.such.as.collecting.statistical.and.other.information.relating.to.shipping.and.providing.training.opportunities.for.employees.of.its.members..In.addition,.the.association.sought.to.operate.as.a.general.forum.where.members.could.engage.in.mutual.counsel.

ADVISORY: The.association.was.registered.as.a.trade.union..S.L..Horsford.&.Co.Ltd.and.Delisle.Walwyn.&.Co.Ltd.were.its.founding.members.

Before.1980.the.Port.of.Basseterre.was.unable.to.provide.oceangoing.vessels.with.alongside.moorings.and.these.ships.were.discharged.at.anchorage..The.ship-to-shore.movement.of.cargo.was.carried.out.in.lighters.and.barges.which.required.their.own.labour.component.

From.1977.to.1980.the.association.played.an.important.advisory.role.to.the.Government.in.the.planning.and.development.of.the.currently.used.deepwater.facility..It.also.successfully.negotiated.new.labour.agreements.which.were.necessary.to.alleviate.the.redundancies.brought.on.by.this.change,.as.lighters.and.barges.were.no.longer.required.

ACTIVE: Since.its.inception,.with.a.membership.of.only.two,.the.association.has.grown.to.include.six.members.who.in.turn.account.for.most,.if.not.all,.of.the.shipping.agents.and.stevedoring.operators.using.the.Port.of.Basseterre.

The.Shipping.Association.of.St.Kitts.is.a.founding.member.of.the.Caribbean.Shipping.Association.and.plays.an.active.role.in.that.body’s.proceedings.

SHIPPING GROUP OF THE ST LUCIA EMPLOYERS’ FEDERATION

The Shipping Group of the St Lucia Employers’ Federation is one of the original subscribers to the memorandum of the Caribbean Shipping Association, constituted as a company in September 1977.

As early as 1972, when persons from various countries and with shipping interests had begun engaging in discussion leading to the formation of the CSA, members of the St Lucia Employers’ Federation had already shown some interest in the association.

Today, the Shipping Group is in a quandary seeking an equitable and acceptable level of subscriptions from its members. Since the late 1970s ports operators, by Act of Parliament, are the only organisations authorised to provide stevedoring services at the port. As a result, this has reduced significantly the revenues of the members of the Shipping Group and has also curtailed the access to information used in calcu-lating the fees from each member.

Prior to the development, most stevedoring was provided by a company, St Lucia Stevedores. The chairman, Mr Milne-Marshall, was at one time also chairman of the Shipping Group. He was therefore able to prorate the dues based on cargo handled by carrier. This method of computing continued until 1979 and the rates remained unchanged up to 1987.

However, increases in CSA dues plus the cost of sending a representative to meetings has mandated a revision. Members are undecided as to the most acceptable method of computing the fees. The group consists of 10 members.

Currently the shipping group is at a crossroads. There are only three or four members in good financial standing with the federation. This is mainly due to the reasons outlined above, plus the fact that there has been a large increase in NVO agents who in the main do not have a ship-ping background and have little interest in being part of any organisation. As the industry is not regulated, the market is open to all and sundry. Further, with the withdrawal of Crowley from St Lucia, the purchase of Tecmarine and Kent Lines by Tropical Shipping, this effectively leaves four ships’ agents in the island. Since the two largest carriers have withdrawn from the shipping group, this has created a burden too heavy to bear for the remaining members. This is now the time for the fraternity to decide on the future of the ship-ping group.

ST VINCENT & THE GRENADINES SHIPPING ASSOCIATION

The St Vincent & the Grenadines Shipping Association continues to function as the repre-sentative body of the main shipping agents in the state.

CHANGES: Since 1996 the association has seen considerable changes taking place in the ship-ping industry. A matter of concern that has increased since 1997 is that some shipping lines have decided to change from their traditional agents to new and smaller units which offer them apparent reduced costs. This situation is being looked at very carefully.

CONTAINERS: Another development has been the virtual transfer of breakbulk/container cargo to mainly containerised cargo with the steady decline of breakbulk consignments even for these small island ports. Unfortunately, the association has been unable to reduce the manpower/gang size commensurable with this significant change of cargo unit.

As will be appreciated, this problem is made more difficult by virtue of the very high level of unemployment and the increasing numbers entering the local labour market year after year.

However, a very positive effort is being made to develop the tourist industry with the new cruise ship and ferry berth in Kingstown Harbour.

SHIPPING ASSOCIATION OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO (SATT)

The Shipping Association of Trinidad & Tobago (SATT) is the leading maritime association in the country. Established in 1938, the association represents the interests of shipping industry stakeholders such as agents, brokers, freight forwarders, ports and terminals, NVOCCs, marine pilots and surveyors.

The association provides a platform for discussion on key issues, facilitates networking among its members, and partners with Government, all in an effort to build stronger relationships and improve the maritime industry in Trinidad & Tobago.

The SATT also represents its members’ interests with the industry’s regulators such as Maritime Services Division, Customs & Excise, Immigration, and the Pilotage Authority, and plays a signifi-cant role in facilitating interaction between its members and these entities.

The association is committed to strengthening the position of its members in the market and will continue to constantly evolve to ensure that it remains relevant to its diverse membership in an ever-changing landscape.
