The issues include limited berthing capacity and equipment, restricted container loading times, high shipping rates, outdated tariff structures, absence of cold storage at some points, long inspection times, aging port infrastructure, and inefficient labour practices.<\/p><div id=\"antig-178469644\" class=\"antig-content_4 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/discoverflow.co\/web\/antigua\"

\u201cWhen you look at why we should improve the efficiencies of labour, digitalisation, and infrastructure, it is because our ports are quintessential to our existence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shipping Association of Jamaica President, Mrs. Corah Ann Robertson-Sylvester, indicated that a good example had been set by Jamaica where privately-owned ports have been brought up to a \u201cfirst-world standard\u201d and, due to the country\u2019s strategic location directly in front of the Panama Canal, serve as a hub for inter-regional cargo.<\/p><div

look at how we\u2019re going to move the cargo intra-regionally, between our islands, at competitive cost. You have to have the business there, and then the shipping lines will follow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior Director of the Canada Commercial Corporation, Mr. Wilson Pearce, discussed the challenges posed by a lack of economies of scale and inconsistent regulatory environments. He called for the public sector to establish a consistent, reliable environment to facilitate business operations.<br>\u201cWhat can the public sector do to establish a consistent, reliable environment at a regulatory level, with respect to the environment for the operations? A lot of our companies, when we talk to them, start to pull away: they\u2019re unsure about the regulatory environment, it\u2019s inconsistent, and you\u2019ve got a series of relatively small markets for which you have to make major adjustments in terms of how you interact,\u201d he explained.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2413271208\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"IMG_1115\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:240\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:819\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:960\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>World Bank Program Leader for the Caribbean and Latin America, Ms. Fatima Arroyos, advocated for \u201ca multi-sectorial perspective,\u201d urging a regional approach despite the complex political landscape. \u201cInstead of thinking about individual countries trading, there is a need to think about building hubs and economies of scale.
