2007

2007, October 18: Kingston Wharves in Jamaica
and SPRC, the container terminal in Cartagena, Colombia have been named the most
outstanding seaport operations in the Caribbean.
The two winners of the Caribbean Shipping
Association’s (CSA) annual Caribbean Port Awards competition were announced in
the Dominican Republic on Wednesday at the 37th annual banquet of the
Association. The gala banquet brought the curtains down on the CSA’s 37th Annual
General Mereting, Conference and Exhibition, held at the Renaissance Jaragua
Hotel in Santo Domingo, October 15, 16 and 17.
Kingston Wharves copped the trophy for the Best
Multi-Purpose Terminal in the Caribbean, while SPRC Cartagena was named the Best
Container Terminal. Cartagena was winning the award for the third consecutive
year while Kingston Wharves was winning it for the second consecutive year.
Garth Kitson, General Manager - Operations at
Kingston Wharves and Giovanni Benedetti, Director of Marketing at SPRC, received
the tophies on behalf of their Terminals.
The CSA Port Awards competition measures
efficiency and dependability of the Region’s seaport terminals. Size of the
terminal and its facilities are not a factor in this competition so therefore
even small ports can win.
The 2007 competition marked the 20th year of this
competition. The Port of St. Johns, Antigua, was the first port to win this
Regional event in 1987.
