PMAC-Ports
Port Management Association of the Caribbean
The Port Management Association of the Caribbean
(P.M.A.C.) conducted its inaugural meeting in Antigua on
26th June 1998 having succeeded the Port Management
Association of the Eastern Caribbean (P.M.A.E.C.)
established on 16th May 1988.
The P.M.A.E.C., under the auspices of Novaport
International Consultants Limited (Canada), was originally
conceived as a forum where port managers, recognizing the
remarkably similar challenges faced, could seek consul and
freely discuss approaches and solutions.
However, driven by the need to forge closer regional ties in
response to various developments within the industry, the
Association has extended membership to the wider
Caribbean, having been reconstituted as the Port
Management Association of the Caribbean (P.M.A.C.).
Current membership includes the ports of; Anguilla, Antigua,
Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Montserrat,
Nevis, St. Christopher, St. Lucia, St. Maarten and St.
Vincent.
The major aim of PMAC is to improve the proficiency of
member ports and the quality of services offered to their
users. In order to accomplish this objective, the main focus
is training accommodated by:
In addition annual awards which require the collection and
comparison of port performance statistics, have proven to be
an outstanding incentive for improvement.
Whilst P.M.A.C. must keep abreast of developments within
the maritime industry, the Association is being challenged to
remain relevant by providing critical services to members.
This entails the sharing of experience, information and ideas,
training and development as well as lobbying, advocacy and
representation at governmental and multilateral levels.
