FOREWORD

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.

This publication brings together, in one volume, information and data about ports and terminals in many sovereign states and territories, across four language groups, making the CSA’s Handbook of Caribbean Ports a metaphor for the work and achievements of this multinational association.

This edition has also been extensively reformatted to make it easier to use and it has also been extended to include ports in the wider region.

This fifth edition of the Caribbean Shipping Association’s Handbook of Caribbean Ports continues the relationship established with Land & Marine Publications in producing the previous editions. We offer it to the Caribbean as an expression of our continued commitment to regional development.

Fernando Rivera President.

Caribbean Shipping Association

INTRODUCTION

THE CARIBBEAN SHIPPING ASSOCIATION The Caribbean Shipping Association (CSA), the voice of the region’s shipping industry, represents 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, multilateral 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 represented 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 development; 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 territory. 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 encourages 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 integration of these interests and the exchange of experiences, 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, documentation within ports, containerisation, movement and handling of refrigerated cargo, port management, 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 discontinued 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 shipowners 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 multilateral 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.

STRUCTURE Membership: Organisations, companies and individuals are eligible for CSA membership if they are located in or do business in the Caribbean region – geographically defined as: the Greater and Lesser Antilles, the Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, French Guiana (Cayenne), Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela; and the areas of the United States, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala that border the Caribbean Sea or the Gulf of Mexico.

Membership is divided into two main categories – Ordinary and Associate Members. Ordinary Members fall into three categories: • Group A: Ships’ agents and private stevedoring. contractors including national shipping . associations.

• Group B: Port and terminal owners and . operators.

• Group C: Shipowners/operators – specifically. those who have had regular services operating for . at least two years within the Caribbean region.

The Associate Members category comprises all persons and/or companies who may not be admitted to Ordinary Membership of the association. Associate Members are not entitled to vote at group or general meetings.

General Council: The General Council is the governing body of the association and is responsible for the management of its affairs and the exercise of all powers and duties conferred upon the association. It meets three times a year, including the annual planning session in January of each year.

The General Council comprises: • The President • Vice President • Immediate Past President • Four members nominated by Group A • Two members nominated by Group B • Two members nominated by Group C • General Manager* • Director of Information and Public Relations* *Elections for all except these two executive posts are held at the Annual General Meeting in October of each year.

Standing committees: • Trustees of the CSA Training Trust Fund • Port Award Committee • Cruise Committee • The Silver Club • National Associations.

Meeting and conferences: The CSA has two general meetings each year which coincide with its conferences: the Caribbean Shipping Executives Conference in May; and the Annual General Meeting, Conference & Exhibition in October. Each provides members with a unique opportunity to exchange views, formally and informally, and to develop valuable business contacts. These conferences have earned general commendation for the high caliber of the presentations. Each of the three groups of Ordinary Members – Group A, Group B and Group C – holds its own working sessions at which matters of mutual concern and interest are discussed.

CSA Secretariat: The Secretariat of the CSA is located in Kingston, Jamaica. Headed by the General Manager, the CSA Secretariat provides administrative support for the activities of the General Council, the Association’s managing body. The Secretariat plans and presents the two major Caribbean shipping conferences each year and, generally, performs the business of the CSA. Financing: The CSA is financed by members’ subscriptions. The subscription fee for individual members is set while the fee for a National Association is progressive, based on the tonnage passing through its ports. A maximum subscription rate is fixed for members declaring more than 1.075 million tonnes. Please contact the Administrative Assistant of the CSA <csa@cwjamaica.com> for details of current subscription rates.

TRAINING CSA Training Trust Fund: The CSA established a fund to assist with the financing of its training programmes for the shipping industry of the Caribbean. Built up gradually over the years from contributions from the CSA membership, the Training Trust Fund has assisted scores of industry managers and supervisors to increase and expand their technical knowledge.

In addition to running its own annual training courses, the CSA has supported training initiatives of the Caribbean Maritime Institute, including the development of the Caribbean Diploma in Shipping Logistics.

first female Executive Vice President, who died in office in 2002. This scholarship is tenable at the Caribbean Maritime Institute.

Caribbean Ports of the Year awards: In an initiative to improve the quality of seaport services and operations and to encourage meaningful port development across the Caribbean, the CSA instituted the Caribbean Ports of the Year Awards.

The competition is open to all member ports of the CSA. Every October, after a complex adjudication process in which entry questionnaires declaring port operations and achievement are analysed, the CSA selects a Caribbean multipurpose port and a container terminal which, through performance, symbolise the pinnacle of efficiency and dependability.

INFORMATION Website: Information is circulated to members by way of the CSA website (www.caribbeanshipping. org) and a variety of publications. The CSA website provides information about the Association, news and commentary about regional shipping as well as port statistics for the region.

Publications: CSA publications include brochures and promotional literature on specific events and programmes. The list of publications also includes: • CSA Handbook of Caribbean Ports – a port. users’ guide for the Caribbean.

• Caribbean Maritime – a magazine published in.

January, May and October each year.

Shipping Insight business exposition: Each year the CSA presents a business exposition which allows corporate members and companies serving Caribbean shipping to exhibit their products or present their services. This is presented as part of the Annual Conference in October. This exposition, branded Shipping Insight, encourages the presentation of new and developing technologies and services so that delegates can get an insight into what is expected for the coming year.

SHIPPING ASSOCIATIONS

SHIPPING ASSOCIATION OF BARBADOS

BERMUDA SHIPPING ASSOCIATION

THE DOMINICA EMPLOYERS’ FEDERATION (DEF)

ESTABLISHMENT: Prior to 1979, Port Contractors Ltd (a private company which administered cargo handling operations at the Bridgetown Port), shipping agents and stevedore contractors formed the Shipping Group of the Barbados Employers’ Confederation. On the initiative of two founding members, the Shipping Association of Barbados (SAB) was formed and became effective on 1 January 1981.

IMPROVEMENTS: The association was formed in 1969 to meet the changing needs of Bermuda’s shipping industry. Prior to this date, the Steam Ship Agents’ Association, a division of the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce, had been the representative body. Since its formation, the association has advised in many areas of the industry in Bermuda, which has resulted in improvements in ship turnround times, cargo delivery systems, standardisation of documentation and port development.

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

OBJECTIVES: The SAB seeks, among other things, to provide for consultation between members; to ascertain views on matters of common interest; to collect and circulate statistical and other information relating to the shipping industry; and to co-operate with or be a member of any organisation, either national or international, whose objects are consistent with those of the association.

To achieve its objectives, the association maintains a secretariat in Bridgetown to provide administrative support for the activities of the Committee of Management, the association’s managing body.

MEMBERSHIP: Membership of the association is made up primarily of ship agents and stevedoring companies and now stands at 17.

The SAB is a member of the Caribbean Shipping Association. The benefits which this association derives through its links with the CSA include training, research and representation at government and Caricom Secretariat level.

OPERATIONS: The business of loading and offloading cargo is carried out by private stevedoring contractors, which are members of the SAB. Barbados Port Inc, the sole employer of labour at Bridgetown Port, and the SAB (acting on behalf of its member stevedoring contractors) entered into an agreement whereby Barbados Port Inc would provide the stevedoring contractors with all the labour needed to carry out their business in the port.

PARTICIPATION: The association was actively involved in and was a charter member of the Caribbean Shipping Association. In addition to past participation in many of the meetings, members of the Bermuda Shipping Association have served in various capacities of the larger body, including that of president from 1978-1981.

Over the years the association has been involved in deliberations on such matters as pilotage, berthing, port modernisation, industrial relations and cruise ship policy. The present members continue to monitor the industry and are instrumental in initiating changes to reflect prevailing conditions in the industry when deemed necessary. The current stable industrial climate has made the role of the association quite an easy one. Little or no action has been necessary to maintain the levels of efficiency.

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 separate 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 shipping 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.

To ensure the smooth running of the stevedoring operations, the association holds monthly meetings with the Management of Barbados Port Inc at which problems encountered by members are aired, discussed and, in most cases, resolved.

The interests of member shipping agents who represent cruise lines are also looked after by the Association through collaboration with Barbados Port Inc and the Ministry of Tourism and International Transport.

THE NATIONAL SHIPPING ASSOCIATION OF GRENADA

SHIPPING ASSOCIATION OF GUYANA

THE SHIPPING ASSOCIATION OF JAMAICA

The National Shipping Association of Grenada (NASAG) was formed in November 1991 and was duly registered as a trade union in accordance with the Trade Unions & Trade Disputes Act Cap 297 of the revised laws of Grenada.

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.

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.

The association’s stated objectives include: to unite corporations, bodies, partnerships or other organisations of persons “...who are engaged or interested either directly or indirectly in the handling or custody of goods at sea either within or without the territorial waters of Grenada of every description...”

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.

“To provide for consultation among members, to ascertain their views on matters of common concern and to take steps to give effect thereto.”

“To promote, support and/or oppose any statute, order, regulation or other enactment affecting or likely to affect the association or its members.”

EFFICIENT: The association has always articulated its interest in a more efficient and cost-effective port. It has made an input into discussions on port tariffs since its members are among the primary port users in Grenada.

It has also sought to have discussions with the Government of Grenada regarding the ongoing port rehabilitation project and frequent complaints about the harassment of visitors.

The association is conscious of its responsibility to the nation and is keenly interested in the welfare of Grenadian consumers who bear the cost of imported goods, the prices of which are inflated by prohibitive labour costs at the docks.

The National Shipping Association of Grenada’s membership at present comprises seven ships’ agents, the Grenada Ports Authority and the Grenada Board of Tourism.

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 construction and as such cannot accommodate gantry cranes. This restriction obviously prevents vessels without derricks from visiting most of the facilities. 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.

14

With offices close to the Port of Kingston, the association has recorded steady growth in its membership, spanning shipping agents, terminal operators, stevedoring companies, hauliers, NVOCCs, shipowners and operators and providers of business support services to the port community.

Registered as a trade union, one of the association’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 standards 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 development 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 competitiveness.

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

tion is undertaken by a highly efficient and professional 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.

PUERTO RICO SHIPPING ASSOCIATION

THE SHIPPING ASSOCIATION OF ST KITTS

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

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 association 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.

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.

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 importance 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, professional and nationally aware organisation that is determined to provide value-added service to its membership and the wider port community.

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

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 negotiated 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.

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.

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.

SHIPPING GROUP OF THE ST LUCIA EMPLOYERS’ FEDERATION

ST VINCENT & THE GRENADINES SHIPPING ASSOCIATION

SHIPPING ASSOCIATION OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO (SATT)

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.

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

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.

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 calculating 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.

CHANGES: Since 1996 the association has seen considerable changes taking place in the shipping 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.

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 significant 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.

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

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 shipping 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 shipping group.
