Caribbean Shipping Association
(CSA) was established in 1971 to
facilitate development of an efficient,
viable Caribbean shipping industry.
Since then, the Association has become
the voice of the region's shipping
industry and a major regional forum in
which matters relevant to the growth and
development of Caribbean shipping are
discussed.
The CSA represents its membership in
relevant regional hemispheric groupings,
associations and organizations -
governmental, multilateral and private
sector; and maintains Observer status
with leading Caribbean multilateral
bodies CARICOM and the Association of
Caribbean States.
CSA represents private and public
sector interests across the entire
Caribbean area, including South, Central
and North American ports; in all four
major language groups - English,
French, Spanish, Dutch. The CSA uses
English as its official language.
CSA membership includes 12 national
shipping associations and over 100
individual member entities, including port
authorities, terminal operators, shipping
agents, shipping lines, tug and salvage
companies, consultants, freight
forwarders, leasing companies and
others.
The exchange of information and ideas
essential to development, thereby
assisting members to improve efficiency,
production and output, is the primary
function of the CSA. Training and
development of human resources in the
Caribbean shipping industry is therefore
a priority concern of the CSA.
