Caribbean Shipping Association - A Gala night of glittering prizes

The Caribbean Shipping Association’s Port Awards are always the most eagerly anticipated event at its AGM – held in October 2019 at the Barceló Bávaro Palace hotel in Punta Cana.

The recent event was no exception, with ports and terminals across the Caribbean vying for a variety of awards including the two most highly coveted titles of Container Terminal of the Year and Multipurpose Terminal of the Year at the glittering Gala Dinner, which traditionally closes each AGM.

This year’s worthy winner of the Container Terminal of the Year was Sociedad Portuaria Regional de Cartagena (SPRC) – an award the port has picked up several times previously.

While the Ludlow Stewart Multipurpose Terminal of the Year went to Trinidad’s Point Lisas Industrial Port Development Corporation (PLIPDECO).

Other awards were presented to:

The Dominican Republic’s Haina International Terminals (Port Dependability and Flexibility)
Manzanillo International Terminal (Port Efficiency and Productivity)
DP World Caucedo (Growth, Development and Improvement)
Guadeloupe Port Caraïbes (Port Security)
Puerto Rico-based shipping agent Luis Ayala Colón (Port Environment and Safety)
