Foreword
Wilfred de Gannes Deputy Leader - Shipbuilding and Repair Cluster The Ministry of Trade and Industry, together with Stakeholders in the shipbuilding and repair industry has initiated an ambitious program to ensure its long-term prosperity in a dynamic growth market. Shipbuilding and repair is of strategic importance in many respects. lt develops advanced technologies that offer considerable spin-offs to other sectors; it provides essential means of transport for regional and international trade; and it supplies maritime companies and Governments with advanced vessels. The Shipbuilding and Repair Cluster has the task of identifying lines of action, aiming to enhance the industry’s vibrancy, dynamism and world-wide competitiveness and with it securing sustainable growth, with the intention of also helping our country further diversify the local economy from the energy sector. It shall be our policy to promote sound safety, health and environmental practices. Safety, health, and environmental performance are core values of the organization. These values will benefit the industry, employees and the community. Any success that can be attributed to enabling and advancing the local shipbuilding and repair industry, must be given to the hardworking members of the Government appointed Maritime Industry Development Committee, The Ministry of Trade and Industry, Consultants and Cluster Stakeholders, who took time from their hectic job schedules and made numerous meaningful contributions, by way of suggestions, expert advice and their support. The aim of this inaugural Shipbuilding and Repair Publication, rightfully called ‘Vision,’ is to properly document our combined efforts and record it for posterity. It may also be used as a reference tool for those seeking information on commencing Shipbuilding and Repair operations within Trinidad and Tobago. We must continue to strive to become a globally recognized shipbuilding and repair hub, a hemispheric leader driven by cutting edge technology and world class human resources. I salute and congratulate all those who stood their ground and persevered.
Deputy Leader of the Shipbuilding and Repair Cluster IV
Introduction
Captain Rawle Baddaloo – Chairman Maritime Industry Development Committee (M.I.D.C.) As a nation with a long-standing maritime history, Trinidad and Tobago continues to benefit from its exceptional location, away from the hurricane belt and its maritime accessibility between key trade routes, connecting the North and South American continents. The domestic shipbuilding and repair sector is developing as an offshoot from a rapidly expanding energy sector, which requires a strong maritime presence to support its offshore exploration activity. This sector also benefits from a growing domestic cargo and trans-shipment trade, as Trinidad and Tobago’s economy continues to expand and our country is developes into a major maritime trading hub among the smaller Caribbean islands. Trinidad and Tobago’s economic progress over the years has been due to a number of factors – our natural resources, traditions of hard work, entrepreneurship, the strength of our diverse, multi-ethnic society and the determination of government to implement policies, which not only move our country towards a path of growth and development, but towards one of economic diversification from our non-renewable energy resources. The Maritime Industry Development Committee (M.I.D.C.) was established to oversee the formulation of the Strategic Development Plans of the various domestic maritime clusters, thereby setting a course to make them internationally competitive and in a better position to continue to contribute to the national economy. We appreciate all the efforts and contributions of the Shipbuilding and Repair cluster to nation building and are conscious of the fact that we will continue to work together for the further development of Trinidad and Tobago.

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
It should be noted that the ‘smoke-stack’ and ‘sun set’ labels that are often applied to shipbuilding are misleading. Products of the industry are amongst the most technologically advanced produced by any industry. The modern shipbuilding process is also extremely sophisticated and modern shipyards are highly efficient industrial enterprises requiring extremely competent management.

ACHIEVING OUR DEVELOPMENT GOALS – VISION 2020 “The long-term objective of the country’s economic policy is economic diversification: creating goods and services for export which are not based on energy.” - Central Bank Governor Ewart Williams. Monetary Policy Report of the Central Bank, Port-of-Spain, October 2007. “Given the estimated proven gas reserves-to-production ratio and assuming no further success in our exploration efforts, the worst-case scenario, Trinidad and Tobago has a 12 to 15 year window of opportunity for development of the nonenergy sector.” - President George Maxwell Richards. Couva / Pt. Lisas Chamber of Commerce at their annual Christmas Dinner, November 2007.

ACHIEVING OUR DEVELOPMENT GOALS – VISION 2020 “As a result of our strong and consistent macro-economic performance, the focus of the heritage fund has shifted from stabilization to wealth generation and of taking advantage of the considerable opportunity that it provides for an enterprising government in pursuit of economic diversification, much in the same way as other oil producing countries have done such as Norway, Qatar and Oman.” - Finance Minister Karen Nunez-Tesheira. Accounting Week, hosted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of T&T (ICATT), Port-of-Spain, December 2007. “Trinidad and Tobago cannot reach developed country status by 2020 if its energy sector-dependent economy is not properly diversified. No aspect of the achievement of our overall objective of becoming a developed country constitutes a simple process and hardly is this anywhere more evident that in respect of meeting the diversification challenge.” - Prime Minister Patrick Manning. Sixth Annual Caribbean MBA Conference hosted by the University of Wharton and the Harvard School of Business, Port of Spain, January 2008.
