Jamaica to compete for status as a global centre

JAMAICA has plans to establish itself as a global centre of the shipping industry, with a strategy that will see it go head to head with other nearby nations also seeking to reap the rewards of the widening of the Panama Canal, writes David Osler .

According to a statement issued by the Maritime Authority of Jamaica, consultants have recently been in the country for discussions with state officials and private sector organisations, and will now develop specific recommendations for the introduction of a legal and institutional framework that will put any emerging maritime cluster on a sustainable basis.

Maritime Authority director general Peter Brady, who is in charge of the project, said: “Jamaica is a maritime state by virtue of its history, international trade links, geographical position in the hemisphere and dependency on the sea.

“There is strong demand for our maritime facilities, particularly because Jamaica is strategically situated at the centre of an 800m person market in the western hemisphere, including the largest market in the world, the US.”

He said that Jamaica was located on strategic trade routes and would benefit from the projected increase in transhipment traffic through the Caribbean.
In addition, it could offer low-cost labour.

Existing facilities, including a container transhipment port, a cruise port and an International Maritime Organization-approved officer school, collectively enjoy sufficient weight to constitute the basis of the intended cluster. Also, bunkering activities have grown significantly since they started in 2005, Rear Adm Brady added.

Target sectors it hopes to attract include merchant shipping, shipmanagement, shipbroking and chartering, shiprepair, and maritime services such as ship finance and insurance.

However, Jamaica will need to be mindful that other countries in the Caribbean, most notably Panama with its stated intention of becoming “the Singapore of the west”, are also eyeing available opportunities.

Sources indicate that Kingston in Jamaica is running just about neck and neck with Freeport in the Bahamas for regional dominance in container transhipment, but that the degree of competition is allowing shipping companies to play off ports against one another. The Colombian port of Cartagena is also winning European business.

Britain’s leading ship supplier, Hutton’s, is set to open its biggest UK depot in Aberdeen next month.

Hutton’s, which recently announced record sales figures, is expanding it’s Aberdeen office into a larger 13,000 sq ft (1300sq m) depot providing state of the art facilities.

Hutton’s need for expansion is a result of increased business from the offshore industry.

The new facility is ideally located near Aberdeen harbour and boasts 13,000 sq ft of warehouse to provide Hutton’s with considerably increased capacity. In addition, the depot provides modern office space with up-to-date IT systems and hi-tech meeting facilities. Leased from the Harbour Board the unit is recently refurbished and houses 350 cubic metres of chilled and frozen freezer facilities and 382 ambient pallet systems.

Managing Director Alex Taylor explains: “This move is a great development for Hutton’s, both increasing our capacity and improving our facilities. It will result in the highest levels of quality and service for our customers.”

Cory Beats The Drums To Celebrate Dal’s Success

25th September 200910th August 2015Elaborate Communications

Leading UK port and logistics company Cory Brothers Shipping Agency beat the drums in London last week when it laid on a South African barbecue in honour of its leading client, DAL.

Guests were enthralled by Zulu dancers as they munched on ostrich burgers washed down by South African wines and beers. Cory Brothers’ Managing Director John van Bergen took to the stage – but only to introduce the native dancers, not to join in their energetic routines!

Privately owned Deutsche Afrika-Linien/ John T. Essberger Group, known universally as DAL, were represented during the ‘Infotainment Evening’ by Mr. Michael Davies Director and responsible within DAL for the South African trade. He outlined to guests how DAL has been serving South Africa for more than 100 years and, since containerisation of the trade in 1977, as a founder member of The South African Europe Container Service (SAECS). Mr Klaus-Dieter Lahlah The Director Liner Services gave details of the Indian Ocean service between North Europe and Port Reunion, Port Louis and Tamatave.

DAL now operates in the UK independently within the SAECS Service and is represented by Cory Brothers Shipping Agency Limited, guaranteeing customers a highly efficient and fast container service between Bremerhaven, Tilbury and Rotterdam to The Canary Islands, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Durban, with rail and road links to the African interior as well as dedicated feeder links to East London, Walvis Bay, Maputo, Beira and Nacala.

Part of the Braemar Shipping Services Group, Cory Brothers Shipping Agency itself has a long maritime history, spanning more than three centuries. Mr Van Bergen said: “The evening was a great success and we all learned more about South African culture as well as our mutual businesses.”

Jamaica Plans To Develop Shipping Centre

25th September 200910th August 2015Elaborate Communications

The Government of Jamaica is working towards the goal of establishing the Island as a global Shipping Centre.

Specialist consultants were in the country last week to hold discussions with a multi-sectoral team from government and private sector organizations as a precursor to developing specific recommendations as to the legal and institutional framework that will be required to develop and operate the Country’s maritime cluster on a sustainable basis.

Rear Admiral Peter Brady, Director General of the Maritime Authority which has the mandate for the regulation and development of shipping under the Shipping Act, and is spearheading the project, says: “Jamaica is a maritime state by virtue of its history, international trade links, geographical position in the hemisphere and dependency on the sea. There is strong demand for our maritime facilities, particularly because Jamaica is strategically situated at the centre of an 800 million person market in the Western Hemisphere, including the largest market in the world – the United States of America.”

He points out that Jamaica bestrides strategic sea trade routes and will benefit from the projected increase in transshipment traffic through the Caribbean. In addition, Jamaica enjoys comparative labour cost advantages, and already has in place the basis for the development of a viable maritime cluster. Namely, a world class container transshipment port, cruise port facilities; an IMO approved training facility for the training of officers which in the face of the global shortage of officers support the Government aspirations to develop crew for the international market. He further points to bunkering which has seen significant growth since its commencement in 2005.

Now Jamaica is aiming to further enhance its framework to create an environment which will lead to growth in these activities as well as develop its potential in other areas. Possible target are merchant shipping, shipmanagement, shipbroking and chartering, ship repair and specialist maritime services such as ship finance and insurance.

R/Adm Brady explains: “These are exciting times for Jamaica. The Government is actively pursuing the vision of developing Jamaica as a shipping centre, building on the achievements the Jamaican shipping industry has already made.

“We intend to make Jamaica a ‘one-stop shop’ for shipping in the Caribbean region and indeed for this hemisphere!”

Hutton’s Nominated For Two Awards

11th September 200910th August 2015Elaborate Communications

Hutton’s, the UK’s leading ship supplier, has been short-listed for two important regional awards.

The company, which traces its history back more than 180 years, has been short-listed for the Business of the Year award in this year’s “The Business” Awards, run by the Mail News and Media group.

And 30-year-old Hutton’s Managing Director Alex Taylor is himself short-listed for the Young Businessperson of the Year category.

Responding to the news Alex said: “I am delighted to see Hutton’s being recognised for its successes and for the dedication of our staff. We work hard to meet the needs of our many clients throughout the shipping industry and to source the products they need.”

Hutton’s, which has offices throughout the UK and a headquarters building in Hull, East Yorkshire, has gone from strength to strength over recent years, rising to an annual turnover of more than £5.5million. The company continues to develop despite the current recessionary trend and recently announced record sales figures for the month of July – up by 37% on 2008 figures.

In addition, Hutton’s has made a number of strategic purchases and expansions to consolidate its coverage of UK ports. It recently purchased Milford Haven-based Pan Europe Ship Supply enabling it to service LNG tankers at this key terminal, and has just opened a new office at Great Yarmouth to facilitate its supply to the offshore industry there.

Alex Taylor took the helm of Hutton’s from his father Alan Taylor in 2006, having worked for the company for eight years. Chairman Alan said: “I am pleased that Alex is getting some recognition for the dedication he shows to the company. Hutton’s is in safe hands and the future looks secure with Alex. I am very proud of his efforts.”

IS YOUR SHIP READY FOR THE WORLD’S BIGGEST KILLER?

9th September 200910th August 2015Sean Moloney

Sept 9th, 2009
Ref: 09039
Heart disease is the world’s biggest killer with over three million people dying each year from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). So with an ageing seafarer profile, concerns over lack of exercise and the need for healthy diet onboard ship, preventative action needs to be taken to ensure seafarers who suffer a heart attack have a good chance of survival as they wait for emergency medical care.

Hutton’s Medical, the UK’s leading supplier of medical products for onboard ship, believes every ship should be equipped with a heart defibrillator as a matter of course.

According to John MacDonald, General Manager of Hutton’s Medical, when a person suffers an SCA, their heart’s regular rhythm becomes chaotic or arrhythmic, which means it is not pumping blood around the body. Every minute that the heart is not beating lowers the odds of survival by 7% to 10%. After 10 minutes without defibrillation very few people survive.

“We now supply the LIFEFORCE® marine defibrillator which is the first product of its type to be designed specifically for the marine environment and has been Type Approved by Germanischer Lloyd,” he says.

“With a life saving medical device such as LIFEFORCE® onboard, you need to be sure that it will deliver the life saving care when needed. Even after many years in a marine environment LIFEFORCE® has been tested and approved to deliver this care,” he points out.

With AEDs (Automatic External Defibrillators) located onsite, life saving care can be delivered almost immediately and studies in the US have shown that survival rates increase from 5% to over 70%. According to Martek Marine, manufacturers of the LIFEFORCE®, businesses often invest in the equipment after they have had a SCA incident occur, as they realise after the event how very real the chance of SCA happening is.

Given the number of crew and passengers onboard and the considerable amount of time and activity spent here, the chances of someone suffering cardiac arrest are very real.

More than 300 ships have already been supplied with LIFEFORCE® in the past five months, protecting approximately 12,000 seafarers in the process.
