|  |

|Took place in December 5 -7 of 2000 in Bridgetown, Barbados and are included the final report : |

|  |

|I. BACKGROUND |

|  |

|The purpose of the Inter-American Committee on Ports (CIP) of the Organization of American States (OAS) is to serve as a permanent|

|inter-American forum for the highest-ranking national government authorities on port-related issues in the member states and to |

|strengthen cooperation in the area of hemispheric port development, with the private sector's active participation and |

|collaboration. The CIP was established by the OAS General Assembly in 1998, which approved the transformation of the |

|Inter-American Port and Harbor Conference into the CIP. |

|The Executive Board (CECIP) was elected at the First Meeting of the CIP, held in October 1999 in Guatemala City. The Board is |

|composed of the following 15 countries: Argentina (Chair), Barbados, Mexico, the United States, and Uruguay (Vice Chairs), and |

|Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Jamaica, Panama, and Saint Lucia. |

|The Executive Board serves as the executing agency for Committee resolutions. Pursuant to Article 63 of its Rules of Procedure, |

|the Board must hold its first meeting within 90 days of its establishment. To that end, through resolution CECIP/RES. 9 (I-99), |

|the Committee decided that the second meeting of the Executive Board would be held in Barbados in December 2000. |

|The draft agenda was prepared by the Committee Secretariat, in coordination with the Chair of the Executive Board. The Rules of |

|Procedure of the Inter-American Committee on Ports governed the meeting. |

|session were held. |

|Inaugural Session |

|The Inaugural Session was held at 9:00 a.m. on December 5, 2000. Mr. Larry Tatem, Chairman of the Barbados Port Authority (BPA), |

|welcomed the participants and thanked them for accepting the proposal of Barbados to hold this important meeting of the |

|hemispheric port system. He highlighted the leading role his country had played in this field in the region and stressed the need |

|to adapt to the major changes taking place throughout the world and their repercussions on ports in the developing countries. He |

|also discussed the participation and integration of labor with management as a modern element of business administration. |

|The Secretary of the CIP, Dr. Carlos M. Gallegos, spoke on the progress the Committee had made in its first year of operation and |

|the strict adherence to the decisions of the Committee and the Board that had been observed. He expressed thanks for the support |

|provided by member countries and encouraged new port authorities, having taken office as a result of recent elections in various |

|countries, to continue cooperating closely with the CIP and the Executive Board. He stressed the need to promote the CIP’s and the|

|Board’s activities at the national level within the member countries and to encourage private-sector participation in the |

|Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) as a new instrument for improving the efficiency of the region’s port system. He thanked the |

|member countries for attending this meeting and the authorities of Barbados for their excellent contribution to the organization |

|of this event. |

|Mr. Daniel Levy, Under Secretary of Transportation, Waterways and Ports in Argentina and Chair of the CIP Executive Board, |

|stressed the importance of the issues to be addressed at this meeting. He called particular attention to the TAGs as mechanisms |

|for private-sector involvement in the activities of the CIP. He spoke of the challenge of achieving proper balance between |

|private- and public-sector action and urged the delegates to take every opportunity during the meeting to exchange ideas and |

|experiences to improve port efficiency in the region. Finally, he commented on the importance of defining the Work Plan for 2001, |

|which would cover the matters to be addressed during the forthcoming year. |

|Mr. Noel Lynch, Minister of Tourism and Transportation of Barbados, expressed a warm welcome to the delegates on behalf of the |

|people of Barbados, thanked the OAS for the confidence placed in his country as the venue for this meeting, and called attention |

|to the efficient work performed by the BPA on behalf of the country and the region. He spoke of the new players that had appeared |

|on the world scene as a result of the globalization process, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), transnational |

|enterprises, and multidisciplinary interest groups, all of which posed a great challenge, especially for developing and more |

|sparsely populated countries. He talked about the continuous interrelationship that exists between ports and transportation, and |

|the importance of both for the Caribbean region. He stressed the need to modernize ports institutionally and in terms of |

|infrastructure. He highlighted the importance of human resources and continuous training processes to reach high levels of |

|efficiency in the operation of ports. To conclude, he urged the participants to enjoy the traditional hospitality of Barbados, |

|wished them a highly successful outcome, and officially declared the meeting open. |

|Lastly, the General Manager of the BPA, Mr. Everton Walters, declared that it was a privilege for Barbados to hold this meeting |

|and expressed a vote of thanks to the authorities of the OAS, the participating delegations, the private sector participants |

|working with the TAGs, the Chair of the Executive Board, the Secretary of the Committee, and the Organizing Committee and its |

|staff. He also thanked the Minister of Tourism and Transportation for his presence. |

|Report from the Subcommittee on Policy and Coordination (agenda item 3) |

|Mr. Daniel Levy, delegate of Argentina and Chair of the Subcommittee, presented the report on activities conducted during the |

|year. He also gave the floor to delegations that had been entrusted with specific tasks. The following agenda items were covered: |

|Follow-up on the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA), other integration processes, and their impact on ports. Dr. Mario |

|Montemurro, delegate of Uruguay, presented this agenda item, covered in document CECIP/doc.31/00. He identified and explained the |

|main integration and trade agreements in the Hemisphere (FTAA, NAFTA, MERCOSUR, the Central American Common Market, the Common |

|Market of the Caribbean, and the Subregional Andean Integration Agreement, among others). He then referred to the Summit of the |

|Americas and the formation of Negotiating Groups in accordance with the Plan of Action of the Ministers of Trade of the |

|Hemisphere. Lastly, he analyzed the repercussion of trade integration processes on ports, the intermodal function performed by |

|ports, and their importance in the transportation chain. He recommended that work continue on this matter on a more detailed and |

|geographically focused basis. |

|Relations with the European Union and other international organizations. The Secretariat reported on progress made with the |

|delegation of Spain with respect to the mission to that country and to the European Union (EU), included in the document |

|CECIP/doc.7/00 and on the profiles of projects for possible submission to the EU for nonreimbursable cooperation resources |

|(documento CECIP/doc.24/00). Mr. Carlos Ibarz, delegate of Spain, then reported on activities conducted to structure the mission |

|of hemispheric port authorities to Spain and to the EU (documents CECIP/doc.36/00 and CECIP/doc.36/00). He indicated the |

|procedures and rules applicable to the requests for cooperation received by the EU and emphasized the role that should be played |

|by the foreign ministries of the member countries in support of the mission and in connection with requests to the European Union |

|for cooperation. He offered the services of his delegation to continue working on this matter. The Chair thanked the delegation of|

|Spain for its valuable contributions to the work of the CIP. |

|  |

|Preliminary draft rules of procedure for the Executive Board. The Secretariat reported that pursuant to the Subcommittee’s |

|instructions, it had prepared a preliminary set of draft rules of procedure, derived strictly from the CIP’s rules of procedure, |

|which would be provided to the Board at a later time. |

|  |

|Preliminary draft rules of procedure for the Technical Advisory Committees. The Secretariat reported that pursuant to the |

|Subcommittee’s instructions, it had prepared a preliminary set of draft rules of procedure, derived strictly from the CIP’s rules |

|of procedure, which would be provided to the Board at a later time. |

|  |

|Report on the status of contributions: countries in arrears. The Secretariat reported that the Subcommittee had agreed to urge all|

|of the countries in arrears to settle their accounts outstanding and to make future contributions early in the year so that |

|programmed activities and projects could be carried out. |

|  |

|Other business. The Chair reported on the Subcommittee’s proposal, which was for each Subcommittee to have a Vice Chair in order |

|to facilitate the proceedings. The Executive Board then approved resolution CECIP/RES.1 (II-00). |

|  |

|Report from the Chair of the Subcommittee on Port Training (agenda item 4) |

|  |

|The delegate of the United States, Mrs. Doris Bautch, Chair of the Subcommittee, described the work conducted by the Committee |

|during the year. |

|  |

|Activities conducted in 2000. She explained that the training program included the Fifth Subregional Course on Port Security, held|

|in Saint Lucia, the Fifth Ibero-American Course on Port Management, conducted in Madrid, Spain, and the First Ibero-American |

|Course on Port Engineering, held in Santander, Spain. The delegate of Spain, Mr. Carlos Ibar, indicated that evaluations of the |

|two courses held in his country had been very favorable and that conclusions and recommendations had been issued that would be |

|extremely useful in perfecting future versions of these courses. The Chair noted that the IMO Course on Port Security to Control |

|Illicit Drug Trafficking had been postponed for 2001, and that the Seminar on Information Technologies had been cancelled. |

|  |

|Report from the Working Group on cost recovery for training activities. The Chair indicated that the group’s report was provided |

|in document CECIP/doc.10/00. The Group met in Washington, D.C. in March and the delegations of Barbados, the United States, and |

|the Secretariat took part. The report recommended in particular that a registration fee should be charged for all Secretariat |

|training activities, to be paid by each participant. Under exceptional circumstances, grants could be provided, but not to |

|participants from countries in arrears. A scholarship fund was to be set up. |

|  |

|Questionnaire to identify training needs. The Chair reported that a questionnaire had been prepared in cooperation with the |

|delegation of Barbados to detect training needs. She asked the member countries to review that questionnaire, which was found in |

|document CECIP/doc.11/00, and to send their comments to the delegation of the United States within 60 days. |

|  |

|Information dissemination on national port training activities in 2000. The Chair indicated that the compendium prepared included |

|information from very few countries and that it had been distributed in the middle of the year. She stressed the importance of the|

|document and said that work should continue on it through the web page. To that end, she invited all of the countries to send |

|information to the Secretariat immediately. |

|  |

|Other business. The Chair indicated that the delegation of the United States had submitted a project to CIDI to finance training |

|activities in the area of port security for 2001, but that unfortunately, the necessary resources were therefore not available. |

|  |

|Lastly, the Chair thanked the member countries and observers that had contributed to the activities discussed as well as the |

|Secretariat. The plenary session then approved the Subcommittee Report. |

|Report from the Chair of the Subcommittee on Port Administration (agenda item 5) |

|  |

|Mr. Andrés Rengifo, delegate of Chile, Vice Chair of the Subcommittee, presented the activity report (document CECIP/doc.36/00) |

|that had been sent by the Chair of this Subcommittee, the delegation of Panama, together with valuable contributions from the |

|delegates of countries entrusted with specific tasks. The following matters were covered: |

|  |

|Privatizations and port reforms. The delegate of Argentina, Captain Martin Sgut, reported on the regional privatization |

|questionnaire, which had been sent to all of the delegates to the CIP. He thanked the Secretariat for its technical support and |

|mentioned that only 10 responses (30 percent) had been received to date. He stressed the need to send questionnaire responses in |

|digital form as soon as possible and to attach the texts of national laws on ports and their implementing regulations with a view |

|to constructing a database to be placed on the Internet. The delegate of Spain, Miss Nuria Gaitón, reported that sufficient |

|information had not been received to carry out the study on privatizations in Ibero-America. The Chair proposed that this latter |

|product be discontinued in order to avoid a duplication of effort. |

|  |

|Modern technologies applied to ports. The delegate of Mexico, Mr. Francisco Pastrana, gave an account of the Ibero-American |

|Seminar on Port Technology Exchange held in Cancun, and thanked the National Ports of Spain for their cooperation and support |

|(document CECIP/33/00). He indicated the six matters covered at the event: (i) recent developments affecting ports; (ii) |

|engineering and construction of infrastructure; (iii) port administration and operation; (iv) privatization and ownership models; |

|(v) financial instruments; and (vi) a business symposium. He indicated that two volumes had been published containing all of the |

|presentations given, which he distributed to the participants and which can be found on the Internet; he indicated that a second |

|seminar would be held in Argentina in 2002. |

|  |

|Ports for cruise ships. The delegate of the Dominican Republic, Colonel Salvador Montás, presented document CECIP/doc.46/00 and |

|described progress that had been made in the Caribbean cruise industry. He emphasized that the largest share of the market was |

|controlled by five major shipping companies, which were increasing the use of megavessels, requiring a special infrastructure as |

|well as better and additional security measures. He stressed the need to apply Annex V of the MARPOL 73/78 Convention and to |

|establish special conditions for waste disposal in the Caribbean area, as well as for the intensive use of large passenger |

|capacity cruise ships, which necessitated the construction of solid waste collection facilities in the ports. The delegate of |

|Uruguay talked about the creation of a Port Association in the southern cone of the Americas for SURCRUISE ships, which had been |

|conducting a series of activities in support of this industry segment. |

|  |

|Port statistics. The delegate of Mexico emphasized the importance of obtaining up-to-date and comparable statistics on ports in |

|the Hemisphere. He said that it was unfortunate that many member countries had not sent in the information on the form designed at|

|this forum. The information he presented was therefore very limited, included in the document CECIP/doc.32/00. He said that his |

|delegation would present proposals to correct this deficiency during the meeting of the Subcommittee. |

|  |

|Port tariffs. The delegate of Mexico reported that a special form had been prepared to gather information, but that it had been |

|found that the countries had very different tariff structures and sometimes did not clearly explain the basis for the charges, |

|which made their interpretation and standardization difficult. He noted that only six countries had responded to the form, |

|included in the document CECIP/doc.34/00. He concluded by stressing the importance of obtaining this information and urging the |

|countries to send the information requested. He said that this preliminary analysis had revealed a general trend toward the |

|requirement that ports be self-financing, and that the use of direct subsidies had not been detected. |

|  |

|Port and customs relations. The Secretariat referred to its responsibility for ensuring broad dissemination of the conclusions and|

|recommendations of the seminar held in Houston in December, 1998. The plenary agreed to place this matter under the item |

|concerning port facilitation and to ensure greater follow-up. |

|  |

|City-port relations. The delegate of Uruguay reported on the proceedings of the Sixth Meeting of the Annual Association of Port |

|Cities and presented document CECIP/doc.26/00 containing detailed information on this meeting. |

|  |

|Waterways. The delegate of Argentina, Mr. Daniel Levy, in his capacity as Executive Secretary of the Paraguay-Paraná Waterway |

|Committee, gave the presentation for this agenda item, stressing the importance of this waterway for physical integration. Ten |

|years earlier, it had moved 700,000 tons annually compared with 20 million tons at the current time. He reported on dredging works|

|in the Pantanal sector and environmental problems that had been detected in this connection, stressing that for the purposes of |

|specific works, concessions would be awarded and costs recovered through tolls. As entrusted, the delegate of United States |

|provided the information requested on waterways in her country and indicated that interested parties could obtain more information|

|from Inland Rivers Ports and Terminals .org. |

|  |

|Use of the coastlines. The delegate of Chile described the difficulties encountered in preparing this report, but confirmed that |

|it would be available for the next meeting of the Executive Board. |

|  |

|Quality assurance. The delegate of Mexico described the process of certification for ISO 9000 quality assurance, confirmed at the |

|port of Tampico as a model port and initiated as well in other Mexican ports (document CECIP/doc.20/00). The delegate of the |

|United States indicated that further information could be obtained with respect to ISO 9000 at its website: abs-. |

|  |

|Other business. The delegate of the United States called attention to the following electronic addresses providing extremely |

|relevant information with respect to dredging: owow/oceans/ndt. She also pointed out that the Maritime Administration |

|of her country had conducted a relevant study entitled Coastwise Shipping Study, which could be found at the following electronic |

|address: marad.. |

|  |

|The Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Port Administration thanked all of the delegations that had contributed with their work and |

|technical support. |

|  |

|The Executive Board then approved the Subcommittee’s report, and the Chair stressed the need to continue working on these |

|important matters over the next year. He also stressed the importance of involving the private sector in this work. |

|Second Plenary Session |

|  |

|The session was called to order at 3:30 p.m. on December 5, 2000 and was chaired by Mr. Daniel Levy, principal delegate of |

|Argentina. The following agenda items were addressed: |

|  |

|Report from the Chair of the Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) on Port Operations (agenda item 6) |

|  |

|The Chair of the TAG, the delegation of Mexico, represented by Mr. Francisco Pastrana, thanked the BPA and the Secretariat for |

|facilitating the first meeting of the TAG. He then described the activities conducted during the year, referring in particular to |

|the Brasilia meeting, where guidelines for launching the TAG had been identified. After the basic guidelines for the TAG were |

|developed, the work consisted of preparing the TAG information materials; the labor-intensive job of identifying associate |

|members; and finally developing the proposed Work Plan for 2001, including the identification of work groups by specialized area. |

|Based on preliminary consultations, the following six groups had been identified: Infrastructure; Equipment; Specialized |

|Terminals; Information Technology; Multimodal Facilities; and Facilitation. He called particular attention to the involvement of |

|associate members from the private sector and their participation in the first meeting, where the Vice Chair would be elected. He |

|concluded by stressing the importance of this regional mechanism for consultation and cooperation with the private sector. |

|  |

|Report from the Chair of the Technical Advisory Group on Port Security (agenda item 7) |

|  |

|The Chair of this TAG, the delegation of the United States, represented by Mrs. Doris Bautch, thanked the BPA and the Secretariat |

|for facilitating the first meeting of the TAG. Among the activities conducted during the year she highlighted the transmittal of |

|information from this TAG to numerous private enterprises in her country to promote their entry into the TAG as associate members.|

|She mentioned that she had received very few responses from the delegates of other countries. She referred to the work conducted |

|at the coordination meeting in Brasilia among the three TAGs the preceding August. She mentioned that the information prepared on |

|the TAG was available at the website of the Inter Agency Commission on Crime and Security in U.S. Ports |

|and the Maritime Security Report at marad.. She concluded by mentioning that a proposed Work Plan for 2001 had been |

|prepared, that the Vice Chair would be elected at their next meeting, and that this was an important advisory committee to the CIP|

|for the development and security of ports. |

|  |

|Report from the Chair of the Technical Advisory Group on Navigation Safety and Environmental Protection (agenda item 8) |

|  |

|The Chair of this TAG, the delegation of Argentina, represented by Mr. Jorge Abramian, thanked the BPA and the Secretariat for |

|facilitating the first meeting of this TAG. He described the activities conducted during the year. He highlighted the preparation |

|of an information brochure on this committee, which had been sent to prospective associate members interested in the matter. He |

|talked about progress made in establishing contingency plans and analyzing navigation control systems, matters to be included in |

|the Work Plan of this TAG. He referred to contacts that had been established with the private sector community of his country, who|

|were sent information on this TAG and on a seminar on navigation safety held in November 2000 in Buenos Aires, where this TAG was |

|also promoted. |

|  |

|Evaluation of the Technical Advisory Groups (agenda item 9) |

|The Chair of the Executive Board talked about the concept of the TAGs, established by the Inter-American Committee on Ports in |

|1999, their importance, and the work performed by the Chair of each TAG to date. He alluded to the main difficulties encountered |

|in getting these activities under way. He stressed the importance of actively involving the private sector in the work of the CIP,|

|and said that there were high expectations for their first meetings, to be held during the course of this Board meeting. He |

|proposed that the Executive Board issue a favorable vote on the evaluation of the TAGs at the end of the year. He added that the |

|tangible results of this work would be seen in about two days, when the three TAGs meetings were held. The Secretary briefly |

|presented the agreements reached at the coordination meeting held in Brasilia the preceding August to facilitate the organization |

|of the first meetings of the TAGs. He stressed the importance of the work being done by the delegations chairing the TAGs in order|

|to reach programmed objectives and conveyed the support of the plenary for the Chair’s motion to issue a favorable evaluation of |

|the TAGs at the end of their first year of existence. Resolution CECIP/RES.5(II-00) was approved to this effect. |

|  |

|Revision of the Agreement on Cooperation and Mutual Assistance among Inter-American Port Authorities (agenda item 11) |

|The Secretariat, represented by Dr. Regina Arraiga of the OAS Legal Department, briefly described the development of the agreement|

|approved by the Ninth Inter-American Conference on Ports held in Asunción, Paraguay, in 1996. She indicated that with the |

|transformation of the Conference into the Inter-American Committee on Ports it was necessary to made certain adjustments in the |

|text of the Agreement. She noted that the Agreement had not entered into force or been ratified by any country in accordance with |

|its provisions, quite possibly because of the procedure adopted for that purpose. Accordingly, a revised version of the Agreement,|

|containing the body of the Agreement, unchanged, but a new procedure for ratification allowing for a wide range of possibilities |

|adapted to the domestic laws of the various member countries, was being presented to simplify the process. She indicated that the |

|draft revision was being presented at the meeting and would be officially sent to each country providing the instructions |

|necessary for delegates to obtain authority to sign the agreement at the Second Meeting of Inter-American Committee on Ports, to |

|be held in Costa Rica in September 2001. The Secretary underscored the importance of this valuable international cooperation |

|instrument and pointed out that, while it had not been signed or ratified officially by the countries, it was already being |

|applied de facto. This administrative formality was therefore necessary to give the Agreement full legal effect. The plenary |

|accepted the proposal and the Chair requested that the Secretariat officially transmit the Agreement and related information |

|enabling delegates to obtain the authority necessary to approve and sign it at the next meeting. |

| |

|CIP logo (agenda item 12) |

|The Secretary recalled that at the previous meeting, the Executive Board had approved the CIP logo "ad referendum" based on the |

|proposal of the delegation of Guatemala, to which certain adjustments were to be made. The Secretary now presented the corrected |

|version. The Executive Board approved this new version "ad referendum" pending the next meeting of the Committee. The resolution |

|approved to this effect was CECIP/RES.7 (II-00). |

|  |

|Natural disasters and ports (agenda item 13) |

|Dr. Stephen Bender of the OAS Unit for Sustainable Development and Environment gave the presentation on this matter, indicating |

|that a study was underway on trade corridors and risk reduction in the context of natural disasters, and providing a detailed |

|description of this work. He explained that the OAS was applying three fundamental principles to the analysis: free trade, |

|sustainable development, and strengthening for democracy. He indicated that these corridors were subject to three factors: basic |

|production; value-added; and market access. He said these factors had been shaped from the perspective of agriculture, energy, and|

|transportation, with ports playing a key role in the last of these factors. He spoke of corridor evaluation as a tool for |

|environmental management and a key to reducing risk in the event of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, |

|floods, etc. By reducing the vulnerability of trade, such tools take on political value. He examined the possibility of the CIP |

|playing a fundamental role in these studies, which were being conducted through a joint effort known as the Program for Training |

|and Research on the Development of Trade Corridors (PROCORREDOR), a higher educational consortium advising governments at all |

|levels on the preparation of future generations for these key aspects of globalization and world trade. He invited CIP member |

|countries and the Secretariat to join the PROCORREDOR program and to attend the international conference to be held on this matter|

|in Mendoza, Argentina, the following March. To this effect, resolution CECIP/RES.8 (II-00) was approved. |

|  |

|Programming and organization of the Second Meeting of the CIP (2001) (agenda item 14) |

|The Secretary indicated that the Second Meeting of the CIP would be held in 2001 in Costa Rica. Dr. Juan Ramón Rivera, delegate of|

|Costa Rica, confirmed his government’s interest in hosting this meeting. The dates being considered were September 10-12, 2001. In|

|discussing the items to be addressed at the meeting, consideration was given to focusing on either one major issue or a number of |

|issues. Following extensive discussion, it was agreed to focus on three substantive matters reflecting the issues being addressed |

|by the three TAGs: port operations, security, and navigation safety and environmental protection. It was also considered useful to|

|have an exhibition room with promotion stands to be leased to interested exhibitors, providing a parallel exhibit in connection |

|with the meeting. It was proposed that a number of exhibitors should be selected and decisions should be made as to the time to be|

|allotted to, and the profile required of, each exhibitor. The Executive Board agreed that the Subcommittee on Policy and |

|Coordination, with the support of the delegation of Costa Rica and the Secretariat, would be responsible for organizing this event|

|as soon as possible, in order to permit the advance promotion required. To this effect, resolution CECIP/RES.9 (II-00) was |

|approved. |

|Third Plenary Session |

|  |

|The session was called to order at 9:00 a.m. on December 6, 2000, and was chaired by Mr. Daniel Levy, principal delegate of |

|Argentina. The following agenda items were addressed: |

|The Chair recalled that according to the CIP’s Plan of Action for 2000-2001, approved by resolution CIDI/CIP/RES.6 (I-99) in |

|Guatemala, work was to continue on the matters assigned to the subcommittees, especially in cases where the work had not been |

|The Chair proposed that each of the subcommittees, at their separate meetings, prepare a Work Plan for 2001, and that these plans |

|would be combined to form the Work Plan for the Executive Board for that year. It was so agreed by the Executive Board. |

|  |

|Port reforms in the Caribbean countries (agenda item 10) |

|This subject was addressed in a seminar coordinated by Mr. Everton Walters, General Manager of the Barbados Port Authority. After |

|stressing the importance of the subject and the need to modernize the ports of the Caribbean, he gave the floor to the following |

|speakers: |

|Jan Hoffman, ECLAC. Mr. Hoffman described the theoretical elements needed to understand the progress that had been made in |

|modernizing the region's ports. He described the different types of ports: private ports, landlord single-operator ports, tool or |

|multi-operator ports, and the operation and ownership of State port services. He provided a general outline of progress made in |

|the region, which showed the absence of any particular orthodoxy, with each country modeling its ports according to its own needs,|

|particularly in the case of island countries or countries with only one international port. He indicated that the largest |

|countries of Latin America have adopted the landlord model, based on concessions. He explained the evaluation of the various |

|hemispheric processes that had been conducted by ECLAC and the parameters applied in terms of the impact of reform on economic and|

|social conditions, GDP, and unemployment. He presented the conclusions of a seminar recently conducted in Trinidad and Tobago on |

|these subjects and highlighted the need to hold a broader seminar in the near future to continue evaluating the effects of reform |

|not only on the Caribbean, but on the hemisphere as a whole. |

|Bryon Lewis, delegate of Jamaica. Mr. Lewis presented an historical review of the changes that had taken place in the port sector |

|of his country in recent years, highlighting the role of the public sector in this process in the country's two main ports and the|

|progress made in promoting private-sector involvement in service and management concessions since the law of 1970. He described |

|the process of reaching labor agreements and rationalizing port employment, and the introduction of automation, training programs,|

|and social benefits. He talked about the development of the container terminal in the Port of Kingston and a master plan to be |

|phased in up to the year 2005. He presented figures on the movements of ships and containers and on significant increases in |

|productivity. |

|  |

|Kent Adlee, delegate of Barbados. Mr. Adlee described changes in the maritime industry and economic model as influenced by the |

|international cooperation and financing agencies. He referred to various periods between 1960, when the port was nationalized, and|

|the establishment in 1979 of the BPA. He briefly described the process of rationalizing employment and the agreements implemented |

|in that regard and explained the new model being applied in Barbados, based on a 65-percent share for the State and a 35-percent |

|share for the private sector. There was discussion on managerial autonomy and the application of the master plan, which in |

|addition to the incorporation process indicated earlier, includes a process for the modernization of infrastructure in loading |

|zones as well as cruise terminals. |

|David Johns, delegate of Guyana. Mr. Johns presented the model being applied in his country. He referred first to the historical |

|evolution of the State Port of Georgetown and the development of private terminals in three ports. He provided statistical data |

|and projections through the year 2005 with a breakdown according to the various types of cargo and terminals in the different |

|ports. As part of the current reform program, he indicated, a National Maritime Authority is being created, and he referred in |

|detail to the law of 1998, which restructured the government's Department of Transportation and Ports. Lastly, he explained the |

|importance of ratifying the various international conventions and stressed the close and important relationship between ports and |

|national development. |

|Kelvin Harris, delegate of Trinidad and Tobago. Mr. Harris spoke about the institutional and physical evolution of the ports of |

|his country and the various factors contributing to that process. He described changes that had been made in the new system and |

|presented statistics on ship and cargo movements. He discussed the modernization process, with private-sector participation, and |

|the various agreements that had contributed to its gradual implementation. |

|The Coordinator then opened an interesting round of questions and answers that resulted in a wide-ranging and productive exchange |

|of experiences and ideas, with particular emphasis on the need to analyze processes in other countries – not to copy them, but |

|rather to adapt them to the particular realities of each country. It was observed that all countries, to varying degrees, had |

|involved the private sector in port operations, and that many countries were studying various ways of involving them in needed |

|infrastructure investments. Particular attention was given to the role played by labor agreements, the rationalization of |

|employment, and the importance of human resources in these processes, where there had been a great spirit of cooperation and a |

|determination to avoid confrontation. There was discussion on the impact on ports of changes in the world maritime industry, which|

|had required improvements in infrastructure, increases in efficiency, and a rejection of cosmetic changes and bad practices. In |

|concluding the discussions, Mr. Walters, thanked all of the presenters and participants in the seminar on port modernization in |

|the Caribbean, and remarked that a similar event with broader coverage should be held in future. |
