ForewordSince the publication of the second edition of the Grenada Ports Authority Handbook in 2000 the domestic as well as the external environments in which the Ports Authority operates have experienced many changes. The introduction of the Interna-tional Ship & Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code in July of 2004 has resulted in changes in the way business was being done at our ports, particularly as it related to cruise ships and their passen-gers. On the domestic front, the Ports Authority has undertaken an extensive capital development programme in St. George’s Bay off Melville Street, which has transformed the landscape of the nation’s capital.

This third edition of the Au-thority’s Handbook captures the changed environment and high-lights the infrastructural works undertaken by the Ports Authority as it continues to play a most pivotal role in the development of Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique. Suffi ce it to highlight the recently constructed Melville Street Cruise Terminal and duty free shopping complex. This modern cruise facility provides Grenada with berths for mega cruise ships. It has also allowed Destination Grenada to further enhance its product offerings.

The publication also highlights the pivotal role played by the Ports Authority in the process of Gre-nada’s recovery in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Ivan, which devastated the island in Septem-ber 2004. The Port of St. George’s

was considered the ‘life blood’ of the nation as it facilitated the re-ceipt and delivery of much needed relief and reconstruction supplies. The theme of this edition also demonstrates that, once again, Grenada is open for business.

Finally, this edition of the Ports Handbook recognises the ever-ex-panding role of the Ports Authority in relation to its core maritime mandate in respect of the provi-sion of cost effective and effi cient port and maritime services. Its ownership and operation of the St. George’s Bus Terminus is another step in its emergence as a wholly integrated logistics facilitator.

Given the foregoing, I am particularly pleased to be associ-ated with the publication of this comprehensive, informative and user-friendly edition of the Gre-nada Ports Authority Handbook.

The year 2006 was an historic one for the Grenada Ports Authority as it commemorated 25 years of service to the nation. Indeed, the Ports Authority has served and continues to serve our tri-island state with distinction. In doing so, the Ports Authority has invested millions of dollars in the development of its plant, machinery, equipment and human resources in order to meet the ever-increasing demands of its customers, as well as to keep apace with technological changes and advancements within the maritime industry.

I am pleased to be associated with this publication of the third edition of the Ports Authority’s Handbook, that, in large measure, encapsulates the growth and development of the Authority over the past quarter century.

This edition features among other achievements, the Ports Authori-ty’s continuing contribution to the national effort to boost Grenada’s rating as a cruise destination. Its contribution to that thrust is par-ticularly manifested through the construction of the Melville Street Cruise Terminal that provides a more welcoming environment for cruise passengers.

Notwithstanding the many set-backs suffered due to Hurricane Ivan, the Ports Authority has been able to stay the course, ensuring that port users are provided with the widest range of cost effective and effi cient services. In this

regard this handbook documents the essential roles played by the Ports Authority.

The handbook also provides port users and the general public with information on the expanding role and increased responsibilities of the Ports Authority in the areas of mari-time security and its incursion into the national transportation system.

Like previous editions, this third edition of the Ports Handbook constitutes an informative and useful reference for persons who do business in Grenada as well as for prospective investors and visitors to the country. I therefore take great pleasure in offer-ing this publication to all as an expression of the Grenada Ports Authority’s continued commitment to enhancing its corporate image and customer service profi le.

Grenada Ports Authority

GRENADA IS LOCATED at the southern end of the chain of Caribbean islands known as the Windward Islands. It is a tri-island state consisting of the larger island of Grenada and its two smaller sister islands of Carriacou and Petit Martinique.

The main island is 21 miles long and 12 miles wide and has a population of about 96,000. Governed by a British-style parlia-ment, Grenada has been a member of the Commonwealth since 1967 and has been fully independent since 1974.

The country’s political stability and dynamic investment climate have laid the foundations for strong investor confi dence and numerous building programmes. At the same time, Gre-nada is positioning itself as a major player in the international cruise and tourism sectors.

EXPANSIONPlaying a key role in this process is the Grenada Ports Authority (GPA). Since the mid 1990s it has led an extensive development programme including an expansion of the main Care-nage port areas in the Grenadian capital, St

George’s, and construction of an all-new cruise ship terminal separate from the cargo port. This terminal, located on the western shore of St George’s, has been one of Grenada’s largest and most ambitious projects to date.

The decision to move the port’s cruise calls to a new location away from the cargo handling berths has opened a new chapter for the port. Grenada now has a cruise facility to rival the best in the Caribbean and is building a tourism industry of which it can be justly proud.

In parallel with the cruise industry, the yacht-ing sector is also enjoying a boom. Existing centres are growing in capacity and many new marina and berthing developments are under way or planned. Over the coming decade, there will be enormous development across Grenada as the island transforms itself into a mecca for yachtsmen.

At a latitude of 12 degrees north, Grenada lies south of the hurricane belt and generally remains free of hurricanes. But there have been exceptions. In September 2004 the island was hit by Hurricane Ivan, causing widespread damage.

Island’s economy in

better shape than ever


55

Since then, the island has changed in many ways. Today, the legacy of Ivan is a newer and better built Grenada that is determined to avoid suffering the same level of devasta-tion again.

Before the hurricane struck, Grenada’s economy was based largely on agriculture. The island thrived on the export of spices such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, earn-ing it the nickname of ‘The Isle of Spice’.

NUTMEGPrior to 2004, Grenada grew more spices per square mile than any other country in the world. Nutmeg was introduced in 1843 and was of such importance – with one-third of the world’s supply being produced there – that a nutmeg was even incorporated into the national fl ag. Since the hurricane, the nutmeg trees are being replanted, but it will take time for the indus-try to recover.

Meanwhile, tourism has become the main foreign exchange earner. Priority has been given to the rebuilding of Grenada’s hotels, all to more stringent standards than before. Ambitious new luxury hotel and tourism developments are springing up all over the

island, underlining investors’ confi dence in Grenada as a quality destination.

DEMANDGrenada’s maritime sector is busy, and the upward trend is expected to continue. Before 2004 this sector was enjoying record levels of throughput. Since the hurricane, throughput has recovered to previous levels and the port is now looking to handle grow-ing numbers of containers as well as more cruise ship calls.

A key goal for the Government is the development of domestic industry, which is expected to boost the port’s throughput still further. In addition, thanks to its relatively young equipment fl eet and new facilities, the port should be able to avoid the need for heavy investment in the near future while it consolidates its position following the recovery from Ivan and the port expansion programme.

Grenada has seen its fortunes fl uctuate in recent decades. Today, however, the coun-try is on course for a prosperous future. Having laid the foundations for growth, Grenada has clearly stated to the world that it is ready and able to meet the needs of its many customers.

Island’s economy in

better shape than ever

ECONOMIC RECOVERYPolitical stability followed these events and the island rebuilt a thriving economy based on agriculture, light manufacturing and tour-ism. In a tragic turn of events, the island’s economy and infrastructure were badly hit by two consecutive hurricanes – Ivan in 2004 and Emily in 2005 – and the task of rebuilding had to begin again.

However, thanks to the tenacity of the island-ers and their determination to put the past behind them and rebuild their lives, Grenada is looking better than ever and shaping itself into a true Caribbean paradise.

THE NAMING of Grenada has gone through various phases. One of the earliest Western names for the island was conferred in 1498 by Christopher Columbus, who called it Concepción, but this failed to catch on.

To the passing Spaniards the lush green island reminded them of Granada in their native Spain. When the French arrived, they altered this to Grenade. And, fi nally, the British came up with their own version – Grenada.

The earliest known inhabitants, the Arawak Indians, called the island Camerhogne. They were superseded by the Carib warriors, and of them there is little trace. The last of them died in 1651 by leaping to their deaths rather than submit to the invading French forces. This macabre day is remembered

through the name of the site – Le Morne des Sauteurs, or Leapers’ Hill.

The French and British battled for control of the island for the next 90 years and the vari-ous fortifi cations around St George’s Harbour are testament to this struggle. Grenada was fi nally ceded to the British under the Treaty of Versailles in 1783. The island became a Crown colony in 1877. Around this time, Grenada came to the fore as an exporter of nutmeg, earning it the nickname of ‘The Isle of Spice’. Grenada joined the British Commonwealth in 1967 and then gained its independence in 1974.

INDEPENDENCEFive years after independence, the island’s fi rst Prime Minister, Sir Eric Gairy, was ousted from power in a near-bloodless coup. Maurice Bishop set up a people’s revolutionary govern-ment and forged close ties with Cuba and the USSR. An internal power struggle in 1983 resulted in the arrest of Bishop and his associ-ates and their subsequent execution.

The civil disorder that followed gave rise to military intervention by forces from the United States and various Caribbean states. The island’s second Prime Minister, the late Herbert Blaize, came to power in 1984.

Turbulent history of

the spice island


WITH A QUARTER of a century of service to the nation behind it, the Grenada Ports Authority (GPA) is today better equipped than ever to play a major role in the economy of the nation.

Recent initiatives and investments by the GPA have been designed to boost Grenada’s potential for cargo handling, the cruise sector and tourism. All of these bring direct benefi ts to the economy and people of the island.

The GPA played a crucial role in the island’s recovery after Hurricane Ivan in 2004, handling most of the incoming relief and construction supplies. The Authority was also instrumental in restoring the cruise industry just two months later and providing a valuable injection of cash into the economy as the nation struggled to cope with the aftermath of the hurricane.

PORTS AUTHORITYThe Grenada Ports Authority is principally re-sponsible for the administration and operation of the port of St George’s. It also has jurisdic-tion over Prickly Bay, St David’s Harbour and Grenville, on the main island of Grenada, as well as Tyrrel Bay and Hillsborough, on the neighbouring island of Carriacou.

The GPA is a statutory organisation control-led by the Minister of Finance, who appoints the chairman and board of directors. Its main functions are:

• To administer and operate Grenada’s seaports• To regulate and control navigation

• To maintain, improve and regulate the ports and their services• To provide pilotage services and navigational aids for the ports and approaches• To administer the provisions of the Shipping Act• To act as a focal point for the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the IOPC Funds• To administer the provisions of the Yachting Act.

OPERATIONSSince 2000 the GPA has had jurisdiction over all 200 stevedores working in the port. The GPA provides a range of services, including:

• Berthing• Receipt, storage and delivery of cargo• Cargo sorting• Chart sales• Container rentals• Delivery of containers to consignees’ premises• Hire of cargo handling equipment• Mooring buoys• Mooring or running lines• Pilotage• Stuffi ng and stripping• Sales of fresh water.

FOCAL POINTThe GPA continues to be Grenada’s focal point for international organisations in mari-time matters. Its staff represent Grenada at regional and international conferences, most recently at the Transport

Serving the nation for

25 years

Committee of the Association of Caribbean States, the Caribbean Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control, the IOPC Funds, the IMO and the Organization of American States Committee on Ports.

As well as working with international or-ganisations and local ports to promote better regional commerce and improved relations, the Authority plays a key role at home, in particular in public sector investment. Work-ing with the Ministry of Finance, it draws up projects to develop the port and the environ-ment, especially the coastal zone.

The GPA is actively involved in an outreach programme involving the local community. In recent years it has organised and sponsored a Coastal Zone Management Competition for primary schools. The Ports Authority has also sponsored the Carriacou Regatta Festival and has assisted young members of the Grenada Swimming Association. It also continues to support the Grenada Community Development Agency and the School for Special Education.

In addition, the GPA is represented on the national Sustainable Development Council, which considers matters pertinent to the nation’s long term sustainable development.

CRUISE TERMINALThe past decade has seen big changes in the country’s fortunes and these have been matched by the GPA’s vision in developing its range of port services.

The initial phase of expanding the main port in the Carenage was followed by the adventurous development of the Melville Street Cruise Terminal.

In parallel with the new cruise terminal – and in a departure from the core business of the Port Authority – the GPA was heavily involved in the fi nancing and operation of the Melville Street Bus Terminus as part of the wider Melville Street development.

Opened in 2005, the Terminus provides park-ing for 250 buses and was designed to ease

traffi c congestion in St George’s. About US$ 4.0 million has been invested in this project.

FUTURE VISIONThe future looks bright for Grenada – thanks in no small part to the GPA’s efforts over the past 25 years in building the economy for the benefi t of all islanders.

Whatever the future holds for Grenada, one thing is certain – the GPA will be leading from the front.

Port of St George’s –

a tower of strength in Grenada’s hour of need

THE PEOPLE OF GRENADA owe a debt of gratitude to the Port of St George’s and its workers for their part in helping the island to survive and recover from a major hurricane.

It was on 7 September 2004 that Grenada was hit by Hurricane Ivan, a Category 3 system, with sustained winds of over 120 mph. There was widespread damage to the buildings, farms and infrastructure of the island.

In the immediate aftermath, St George’s – as the nation’s main point of entry for relief supplies – played a pivotal role by quickly resuming operations and allowed the recovery to get under way. After initially dealing with the island’s relief requirements, St George’s later handled the massive import of construction materials needed to start rebuilding.

DAMAGEThe damage infl icted by Hurricane Ivan was worse than anything most islanders had ex-perienced – although some could remember Hurricane Janet, which hit Grenada with comparable force back in 1955.

During Ivan, up to 90 per cent of Grenadian homes were signifi cantly damaged and many historical buildings were seriously damaged or destroyed. Out of a total population of 90,000 more than 60,000 were left homeless.

The hospital, most schools and other public amenities were either closed or seriously affected. The yachting sector was badly hit. On an island that is normally a favourite with yachtsmen for over-wintering because of its hurricane-free location, many yachts sank at their moorings, many more dragged their anchors onto the shore and a large per-centage of those hauled out and placed on hardstanding were blown over.

There was widespread damage to port facilities in St George’s. The Banana Shed was destroyed, the Queen’s Warehouse was stripped of its outer walls, the Main Transit Shed lost most of its roof and the main port offi ce was badly damaged. The power of the hurricane was even suffi cient to move a 20 ft container from the container park to the other side of the harbour.

The hurricane is estimated to have cost a total of US$ 885 million, with the biggest bills coming from damage to housing,

Although complete recovery is still a long way off, in many ways the island is in better shape than before Ivan. New hurricane-proof buildings have been constructed and work is under way on new hotels, marinas, resorts and industrial centres. Grenada ‘post Ivan’ is a different place to Grenada before the hur-ricane. But the speed of recovery is due in great part to the prompt action of the Port of St George’s and the Grenada Ports Authority.

schools, electrical supplies and telecommu-nications.

PORT RESPONSEThe damage caused by Ivan is only part of the story, however. As news spread around the world, a major relief effort got under way, with regional and international agencies channel-ling emergency aid and funding into Grenada.

In the immediate aftermath, the Ports Author-ity – along with most of the island – was overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster. Not-withstanding the magnitude of the damage to the Ports Authority’s assets – accounting for approximately EC$4.5m – within two days the port of St George’s had resumed operations and begun to receive relief supplies.

The Grenada Ports Authority was quick to respond, ensuring that the port was safe to use and equipped to handle incoming relief supplies. Duty was waived on relief supplies in order to speed up the process.

Both the Trinidad & Tobago Coastguard and the St Lucia Ports Authority provided supplies as well as fuel for the port’s generators.

There was a high demand on manpower and resources to handle the sudden infl ux of relief supplies – especially given that

port employees had their own houses to look after. The challenge was all the greater because all fi ve of the port’s main storage sheds had been damaged.

The initial recovery effort was followed by a sustained demand for construction materials, thus putting a further strain on the port’s resources. Short-term labour was taken on to cope with the demand and to ensure a 24-hour operation.

Within a month of the hurricane, the port traffi c had returned to pre-Ivan levels and by January 2005 the volume of throughput was up 150 per cent, boosted by imports of con-struction materials. In general, construction materials passed through the port without signifi cant delay.

RECOVERYLessons have been learned from the experi-ence of Ivan and the Ports Authority is better prepared for any future hurricane. Just over EC$6.5m was spent on repair and renova-tion works aimed at equipping its sheds with storm resistant sheeting. The Ports Authority has signed memoranda of understanding with both Grenlec and Shell/Texaco for continuity of electricity and fuel supplies in a disaster situation. Disaster procedures have also been reviewed and updated.

a tower of strength in Grenada’s hour of need

Ports Authority expands

growing demandrange of facilities to meet

CARGO HANDLING facilities in Grenada have been modernised and expanded to cope with growing throughput.

During the 1990s the Port of St George’s experienced a brisk increase in cargo volumes and by 1997 had embarked on a far-reaching expansion programme to cater for this growth.

Principally this involved an expansion of the port’s main cargo handling area on the eastern side of the Carenage to increase the quay length and using an area of reclaimed land for open storage.

The second phase involved the development of Melville Street Cruise Terminal, one of the biggest construction projects ever under-taken in Grenada.

Today the port is better equipped than ever. One of the main aims of the expan-sion project was to separate the different sectors. Now, while the original port berths in the Carenage are focused on handling

cargo vessels, the new cruise ship terminal, on the town’s western shoreline, is part of a wider project to develop the Melville Street area for tourism.

CARENAGEThe main berth for commercial vessels is 335 metres long with 9.1 metres depth alongside. Refurbished as recently as 2000, this berth provides 36,000 sq ft of open storage and fi ve acres of container stacking areas.

At the end of the main quay is a 76 metre long schooner berth with 5.1 metres depth alongside. This berth handles mainly inter-is-land traffi c. There is a dedicated warehouse with 10,432 sq ft of capacity. Traffi c fl ow is kept largely separated from other port activi-ties. There is a separate gate with Customs offi cers on hand to allow a speedy exit from the port.

A wide range of relatively new equipment is operated on the terminal including 14 fork-lift trucks, fi ve tractor trailers, two reach stack-ers and one toplifter. The Ports Authority

plans to acquire a 100 tonne capacity mobile harbour crane in the medium term.

TRAFFICIn 2004 the port experienced a 10 per cent fall in throughout, caused mainly by the passage of Hurricane Ivan across the island. There were fewer imports of construction ma-terials, while exports of home-grown produce such as bananas and nutmeg also fell tempo-rarily. However, container traffi c continued to grow by nearly 10 per cent to 14,375 teu.

The port enjoyed a record year in 2005, han-dling a total of 582,116 tonnes of cargo. Over 90 per cent of this was imports. Cargo traffi c was signifi cantly boosted by the import of con-struction materials and aggregates due to the heightened level of construction activities which took place post Hurricane Ivan. Container traffi c has become a focus for the port, representing about 40 per cent of total cargo throughput.

In 2005, the port handled some 546,060 tonnes of imported cargo and 36,056 tonnes of exports. Containers handled amounted to 10,119 teu imported and 9,927 teu exported. In addition the port handled some 277,366 passengers.

A major undertaking has been the imple-mentation of the ISPS Code at the Port of St George’s in 2004. This involved improve-ments to the port’s physical security, such as fencing and lighting, in order to comply with the new international port security code.

SCANNERSAs an additional measure, scanners were introduced at the cruise terminal to detect explosives and prohibited items such as fi rearms and narcotics. Also, CCTV cameras have been installed at strategic points to further reinforce passenger safety.

In the course of implementing the ISPS Code, more than 800 people – including agents, drivers, port workers, shipowners, tour operators and vendors – attended train-ing courses to familiarise themselves with the various aspects of the code.

OTHER PORTSElsewhere on Grenada, the GPA is responsi-ble for operations at the Port of Grenville on the east coast. Grenville currently has a sin-gle pier that is used mainly to receive small fi shing craft and inter-island schooners.

This is set to change, however. An ambi-tious expansion plan – including a big land reclamation project – is on the table to develop Grenville into a major fi shing port as well as equipping the port to handle more transit cargo. About 100 acres has been earmarked for development to create handling and storage areas so that Grenville can be revitalised.


MOVING GOODS and people to and from Grenada – and within Grenada – is very straightforward thanks to a good choice of air, road and sea connections.

These transport services are more reliable and smoother than ever thanks to recent investments combined with the rebuilding programme after Hurricane Ivan in 2004.

The island’s domestic services link with a range of international air and sea services with worldwide connections.

Whether it’s a matter of shipping construc-tion materials for one of Grenada’s new developments or household goods for local people or equipment and parts for the is-land’s growing yacht sector, consignees can be sure of trouble-free deliveries to all parts of the island.

ROADSGrenada’s road network has undergone signifi cant improvements in recent years. An ongoing programme of roadbuilding and resurfacing has led to quicker and smoother highway connections, especially in the south of the island.

All parts of Grenada can be reached by road within two hours from St George’s.

SHIPPINGGrenada is perfectly placed to be a mini hub for the region. St George’s is served by vari-ous major shipping lines offering connections to the wider Caribbean, the United States and Europe. Tropical Shipping, Bernuth Line, CMA-CGM Line and Seafreight Line offer weekly services on their Caribbean routes, which provides links ultimately to the US, Canada, Europe and the Far East. Geest Line on the other hand provides a fortnightly serv-ice on its Caribbean itinerary. Other services are provided by Cagema, Carib Ship, K-Line and NYK.

Most vessels call on a weekly basis on routes between Grenada and the major destinations as well as most of the other Caribbean islands.

The GPA wants to make even greater use of its container handling facilities, with plans to invest in new equipment in the coming years and new initiatives coming on stream.

Smooth transport networks ease fl ow of goods

17

There is also a signifi cant regional inter-is-land traffi c calling at the ports of Grenville, on the east coast of Grenada, and Hillsbor-ough, on the island of Carriacou.

Modern passenger ferry services are oper-ated by Osprey Lines, and also by the MV Amelia A1, between Grenada and Carriacou and between Carriacou and Petit Martinique.

INITIATIVEA new initiative for 2006 was the opening of an inland shipping depot on the Frequente Industrial Park, just south of St George’s. The new facility is operated by Tropical Ship-ping in collaboration with Geo. F. Huggins & Co (Grenada) Ltd. The new venture offers a range of services including LCL consolidation in the 10,000 sq ft warehouse.

Currently, the vast majority of containers are devanned at the Port of St George’s, so this facility can only enhance the port’s ability to increase its throughput without causing congestion in the port’s own container yard.

Point Salines International Airport, in the south-west corner of Grenada, has a 9,000 ft runway capable of handling the largest aircraft in service today.

CHOICEThere is a good choice of international serv-ices to Europe and North America as well as inter-island services. International services are provided by Air Canada, Air Jamaica, American Eagle, British Airways, Condor, Ex-cel Airways and Virgin Atlantic. International connections can be made via Barbados and Trinidad. Domestic fl ights are available to Lauriston Airport on Carriacou.

The airport is located seven miles from St George’s and just two miles from Frequente Industrial Park, which offers a range of cargo handling and transportation services.

19

Offi cers liaise with shipping agents to ensure compliance from all vessels.

Thanks to the diligence and professionalism of these departments, cruise operators, holi-day companies and potential investors can be sure that high standards of health and hygiene are a matter of priority for GPA.

Committed to

quality services A COMMITMENT to provide top quality maritime services while preserving the delicate environment of Grenada is high on the agenda for the various organisations that work closely with the Grenada Ports Author-ity (GPA).

Grenada’s Maritime Administration plays a key role in promoting higher standards of shipping, maritime safety, pollution control and training of seafarers.

However, the Administration’s principal task is to manage the Grenada Register of Ships, established in 1997, which has 24 vessels.

REGISTEROwners and masters of Grenadian ships are required to register their vessels and have them surveyed for seaworthiness. The Administration has a pool of expertise in this sector and works closely with the ship survey company Tsunami Marine Ltd, of Trinidad & Tobago, to deliver a good-quality, reliable service.

The Administration is also responsible for the GPA’s oil spill response.

There has been investment by the GPA in new spill containment and clean-up equip-ment as well as special training for GPA and Coastguard staff.

ENVIRONMENTBecause of the many cruise ships, cargo vessels and yachts calling Grenada, there is a greater-than-ever focus on hygiene and anti-pollution measures at its ports. Environmental Health Offi cers are concerned with hygiene in the ports, while Quarantine Offi cers are responsible for detecting and intercepting pests and diseases. Clearly, the introduction of unwanted pests could have a serious impact on the island’s fragile environment.

Offi cers have the power to board and inspect any incoming vessel and to inspect sam-ples of food and goods. Port sanitation is monitored and supervised to control insects and rodents. Garbage disposal is care-fully controlled. All garbage must be sorted correctly and inspected by offi cers before being removed.

port of St George’s from the 17th century

A history of the

THE ISLAND’S original colony, Port Louis, was created by French settlers in an area on the east side of what is now St George’s Harbour. There were deepwater anchorages for oceangoing ships.

Although Port Louis was abandoned in 1700 and Port Royal was established where St George’s is today, vessels continued to an-chor in the eastern part of the harbour, near what is now the Lagoon.

Everything changed in 1867 as a result of volcanic activity. Eruptions in the eastern harbour transformed the deep water into a shallow area just a few feet deep. From then on, the development of port facilities was focused on the western harbour.

BIG IDEASThe British took over the island in 1778 and the settlers quickly saw the harbour’s potential as a naval base. From then until 1889 they made petitions to the British Government to develop the inner harbour, but these were repeatedly turned down by the Admiralty.

Eventually, the big idea was shelved and Grenada turned its attention to winning

commercial traffi c. Although a detailed survey was carried out in 1895, no further action was taken until St George’s fi rst jetty was constructed over 40 years later.

Until then, most cargo handling was carried out using lighters. These were loaded and discharged along the Carenage by three cranes in a laborious process. However, port operations were revolutionised in 1938 by the construction of an 850 ft wooden pier with 30 ft of depth alongside. For the fi rst time, vessels could berth alongside the quay and it was possible to discharge cargo directly into storage sheds because the pier was connected to the land by a rubble bank.

This arrangement lasted just 16 years, however. In 1955 the pier was destroyed by Hurricane Janet and the cumbersome light-ers returned to the port.

EXPANSIONA new 800 ft quay – much stronger than the previous pier – was opened in 1958 and this time it was connected to the land by more than three acres of hardstanding. This quay is still in use, although it now forms part of a much longer quay and container stacking area.

was able to embark on its most ambitious plan to date.

In 2003 construction began on the Melville Street cruise ship complex that allowed cruise ship calls to be kept completely separate from cargo handling operations. This was the single biggest development in the port’s history, paving the way for Grenada to become a leading cruise port in the Caribbean. The new terminal comprises a 375 metre long jetty capable of handling either four small cruise ships or two mega ships and one medium sized ship. In addition

In 1960 a 12 ft channel was dredged through into the Lagoon, which has become a haven for yachts and small craft.

The growing demands of port users prompted the Grenada Port Authority to develop a Port Expansion Project in 1996. This US$ 11.5 million project was completed in 2000 and involved reclamation of land behind the existing pier and extending the main quay farther into the Lagoon.

In response to the growing frequency of cruise calls, the port established a Welcome Centre at the northern end of the quay to ease the fl ow of passengers through the port while causing minimal interference with cargo operations nearby.

This major scheme provided 1,100 ft (335 metres) of continuous berth, 270 ft (82 metres) of schooner berth, 36,000 sq ft (3,344 square metres) of covered storage, 1.5 acres of open storage and fi ve acres of container park.

MODERN ERAThe port now had the capacity to handle cargo and cruise passengers in two distinct areas and with ample cargo handling and container storage areas. As a result, the port

there is an extensive Welcome Centre and Duty Free Hall welcoming passengers into Grenada.

Down the years, there has always been motivation for developing the port and at-tracting commercial ship calls – and that is still the case today. As the island and its main port face a revitalised future, there is surely much more to come.

port of St George’s from the 17th century


ARGUABLY one of the most attractive of all the Caribbean islands, Grenada has long been a magnet for cruise ships and their passengers.

Today, the best has just got better, with a thoroughly modern cruise ship terminal now open for business alongside a spacious Welcome Centre and duty free mall.

The new terminal is equipped to handle – simultaneously – either four small cruise ships or two mega ships and one medium sized ship. This excellent facility is seen as the ideal starting point from which to boost the cruise industry of Grenada. The main jetty at the Melville Street Cruise Terminal was completed at the end of 2003 and the Welcome Centre and Duty Free Hall were

completed in 2005. However, the fi rst cruise ship was berthed at Melville Street on 21 December 2004.

Grenada Ports Authority is working closely with the island’s Board of Tourism to estab-lish Grenada as a cruise destination of fi rst choice in the southern Caribbean.

DEVELOPMENTFor many years, cruise ships used to berth in St George’s Harbour, one of the pretti-est in the Caribbean. But this changed with the opening of the new terminal in 2005. Located on the western shoreline of the city, the new terminal offers much easier access to berths, while passengers can disembark closer to the city’s main shopping areas as well as enjoying the delights of the duty free mall inside the terminal complex.

The new terminal is part of Grenada’s US$ 80 million Melville Street Development project – the largest private/public joint ven-ture ever seen on the island and its biggest generator of income to date.

The initial phase costing US$42 million in-volved a lot of land reclamation in the Melville Street area together with construction of the berths and Welcome Centre and Shopping Mall. In the sec-

Spicing up Grenada’s cruise potential

ond phase, another 10 acres of land will be reclaimed and developed to accommodate a mix of commercial and retail lots.

The seabed has been dredged to a depth of 10.5 metres to allow the world’s largest cruise ships to call at the port. Dredged material was used to reclaim the 10 acres of land. Piles ranging in length from 26 metres to 40 metres were driven into the seabed to allow construction of the 375 metre jetty. The North Berth has 9.8 metres depth alongside, while the South Berth has 10.5 metres.

POPULARCruise lines calling Grenada include some of the best known operators in the Caribbean including Aida Cruise, Celebrity Cruises, Club Med Cruises, Cunard Line Ltd, EasyCruise, Fred. Olsen, Holland America Line, MSC Cruises USA, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Ocean Village Cruises, P&O Cruises, Carnival and Princess Cruises.

The Caribbean cruise season runs from October to April and during the 2005-2006 season Grenada attracted 225 ship calls and handled some 225,000 passengers. It is not uncommon for St George’s

to handle three or more vessels a day in high season, with up to 10,000 passengers coming ashore for shopping, sightseeing and leisure activities. Cruise ships continue to call intermittently outside the main season.

OPPORTUNITIESOn their arrival in Grenada, passengers have a wide choice of excursions and tours. Buses and taxis are right outside the terminal building and the Welcome Centre can assist with bookings. Many tour operators employ multilingual staff to help non-English-speak-ing visitors.

St George’s is a small town, so most areas can be easily reached on foot. Once outside the duty free mall, it is only a few steps to the main shopping areas, where duty free outlets, handicraft shops and local produce can be found as well as cafés.

The beautiful Carenage area of St George’s, just a 10-minute walk from the cruise termi-nal, is full of historical buildings and monu-ments. Most of St George’s can be seen from the Carenage, although many buildings and churches still show signs of the hur-ricane damage caused

by Ivan in 2004. Places not to be missed are the Market Square, Fort George, the Roman Catholic cathedral and the Grenada National Museum.

A short climb from the cruise terminal will reward the visitor with wonderful views of the Carenage and the Lagoon from Fort George, with its splendid hilltop location between the harbour and the open sea.

DEVELOPMENTOutside the terminal buildings there are parking lots and pick-up and drop-off points for taxis. A number of plots are available for development. Just a few steps north of the terminal is the new Melville Street Bus Terminus.

The terminal was developed by St George’s Newport Property Development Company Ltd, which is an 80-20 partnership between Züblin Grenada Ltd and the Grenada Ports Authority.

THERE’S NEVER BEEN a better time to visit Grenada as a cruise ship passenger, thanks to the recent opening of a brand-new cruise terminal complex.

This complex has been developed alongside the modern cruise ship berths to welcome passengers ashore with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of fun.

After passing through the Immigration & Welcome Centre, passengers enter a light and spacious duty free complex with a wide range of kiosks and outlets. Outside the terminal building there is a landscaped public square giving easy access to the bustling market and city of St George’s, just a few steps across Melville Street.

The duty free mall – offi cially opened in De-cember 2005 – provides 35 units for retail outlets along with 10 positions for kiosks. The units include many well known names in electronics, fashion, jewellery, perfumes and watches. In addition, there are many outlets offering local crafts, souvenirs and snacks.

COMPLEXThe Grenada Board of Tourism has an offi ce in the complex, which also features an in-ternet plaza, public telephones, taxi booking services and toilets.

More than 20 units and all the kiosk posi-tions had been leased within six months of the facility’s opening. The units are generally leased for a minimum of fi ve years, while the kiosks are leased for a year at a time.

The terminal is designed so that passengers always have to pass through the mall before disembarking or embarking their ship. The mall part of the terminal is open to the gen-eral public as well.

A brand-new welcomefor cruise passengers

WHILE the passing of Hurricane Ivan in 2004 was a major catastrophe for Grenada, in many ways it has also given the people of Grenada a unique opportunity to improve their island.

The island has been reshaped by an extensive programme of construction using new materials and modern hurricane-proof methods, while many tourist sites have been designed afresh to cater for an expansion in the cruise industry.

Tourists can admire the natural beauty of the landscape, with its many waterfalls and other scenic gems, as well as enjoying a

wide choice of outdoor activities. In addition to St George’s, with its historical centre and picturesque Carenage, the island offers a choice of 45 white sand beaches and nine black sand beaches where visitors can relax in the sun or enjoy water sports.

Key attractions include:

• Fort George, Fort Frederick and the Grenada Museum• The Annandale Waterfall• Grand Etang National Park• Grand Anse Beach• Concord Falls• Dougaldston Estate• Levera National Park• River Antoine Rum Distillery• Bay Gardens• Leapers’ Hill• Laura Herb & Spice Garden.

Local crafts can be found everywhere, with outlets in the cruise terminal as well as shops and stalls throughout the island. The new duty free centre at the cruise terminal, is complemented by shopping plazas and markets including South City Plaza, Excel Plaza, Spiceland Mall and the Grand Anse centre.

Creating tourism potential

in paradiseGrenada’s natural beauty includes bounteous displays of colourful and exotic fl owers. In fact, the island’s fl ora is a point of pride – Grenada won a total of fi ve gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show in London between 1998 and 2005.

The most prominent fl owers are lilies, orchids, anthuriums bromeli-ads, heliconias and foliage plants. Most fl owers come from the north of island, especially the Balthazar Estate in St Andrews, close to the rain forest. Hurricane Ivan destroyed most of the fl ower beds as well as the nutmeg and spice plantations. The nutmeg trade will take time to recover, although exports of cut fl owers resumed in 2006.

Cruise passengers can visit gardens and fl ower-growing areas as well as taking guided walking tours within a 20 minutes bus ride of the cruise terminal.

GOLDEN BLOOMS FOR GRENADA

provide a journey time of 70 to 90 minutes, depending on the vessel. Osprey Lines also serves the smaller island of Petit Martinique, with daily crossings from Carriacou. Other vessels such as Alexia and Amelia also make weekly voyages to the sister islands.

Elsewhere in Carriacou there is a 90 metre jetty and a tanker facility in Tyrrel Bay, a few miles south of Hillsborough. At both these facilities, security is an ongoing concern and is continually monitored. The Port of Hillsborough has been upgraded for ISPS Code compliance.

Small in size, big in character

PLAYING THE ROLE of little sisters to Grenada are Carriacou and Petit Martinique – two smaller islands located about 23 miles north of the main island.

These two islands lie at the southern tail of the Grenadines, one of the most beautiful island chains in the world and a magnet for yachts and tourists.

The smaller island of Petit Martinique with an area of just 486 acres is home to a mainly seafaring community. Carriacou measures 13 square miles in size and has a population of just 5,000. In the past, its economy was based on lime juice and cotton, but today the main currency is tourism and a growing number of guest-houses and hotels have sprung up to cater for this demand.

Carriacou is famous for its boatbuilding skills, and scores of locally built sailing craft can be seen around its shores. Legend has it that these skills were introduced by Scottish settlers. Many wooden trading schooners were built here in the old days.

As demand has fallen for these old-style ves-sels, the boatbuilders have turned their skill to fi shing boats, leisure craft and tenders. An added feature of the island is its many sailing races, of which the annual regatta is a major event.

Visitors can get to Carriacou either by ferry to the capital, Hillsborough, or by air to the is-land’s Lauriston Airport, which has daily links with Grenada and the Grenadine islands.

HILLSBOROUGHHillsborough, the main port of the island, receives fi shing vessels and small cargo schooners as well as handling passenger vessels from St George’s in Grenada.

A regular service between St George’s and Hillsborough is operated by Osprey Lines Ltd using modern air conditioned vessels to

Sailing along on the

crest of a waveIT’S NO IDLE BOAST that Grenada is a paradise for yachtsmen, with its perfect blend of sea breezes, pristine blue water, secluded coves, idyllic anchorages and some of the best cruising grounds in the Caribbean.

In fact, the coastline of Grenada offers a wealth of unspoilt natural surroundings that continues to attract more and more yachts from across the region – not just for the island’s world-famous regattas, but also for long stays and extended cruises.

Grenada’s boatyards are widely used by yachts for dry storage in the hurricane

Most of the existing facilities in Grenada cater for mega-yachts as well as for smaller craft. Newer facilities are being developed at vari-ous locations, while many existing yards are expanding their berthing and storage capacity.

SERVICESThis expansion is mirrored by a growth in ancillary services such as canvas work, chandleries, engine repairs, machine shops, rigging and sailmaking as well as hotels, restaurants and shops. This two-pronged development is creating a long-lasting and profi cient marine sector in Grenada that is fast becoming the envy of the region.

YACHTING Blue Lagoon Marina, in St George’s Bay,

offers berths for 40 boats up to 100 ft long.

Clarke’s Court Marina, in Woburn Bay, has 50 berths on the south coast, which is gradually being developed into a full service facility.

Grenada Marine, in St David’s Harbour, is a full service boatyard and haul-out facility for over 150 yachts and catama-rans and offers a wide range of ancillary services. The yard has a 70 tonne travelift for yachts up to 32 ft wide and backs on to six acres of storage.

season, with several yards offering haul-out and storage facilities in sheltered bays. In spite of Hurricane Ivan, Grenada is still one of the safest places in the Caribbean for hurricane season storage.

The biggest regatta of the year is the Grenada Sailing Festival, held in January, which attracts yachts from the Caribbean, Europe and the United States. At Easter, the Round-the-Island race has become increasingly popular, while the Carriacou Regatta in August provides a showcase for that island’s rich heritage in boatbuilding and seafaring.

POTENTIALThe government has long recognised the potential of the yachting sector and is helping it to expand by encouraging further development of facilities and marinas. One way of doing this is to allow duty free imports of spare parts and supplies for the marine sector.

The yachting sector embraces various catego-ries of yachts including charter yachts, cruis-ers, live-aboards and locally owned yachts. The biggest category is the live-aboards, which have led to a competitively priced yacht service industry. However, studies show that the greatest potential for increased revenue is from the mega-yachts, which often have fully paid crews.

31

Grenada Yacht Club, located in the Lagoon in St George’s, has 46 berths and 20 moor-ings and offers a full range of yacht services and utilities.

Martin’s Marina, established on the former site of the Moorings, has a 53-berth marina for yachts up to 200 ft, and 32 moorings, and offers storage and other services.

Spice Island Marine Services, in the north-west of Prickly Bay, offers storage space for 200 yachts. Its 70 ton travelift can handle boats up to 85 ft long and 25 ft wide.

True Blue Bay Marina is a small marina and resort complex near Prickly Bay and is home to Horizon Yacht Charters.

Tyrrel Bay Haulout Carriacou provides haul-out services with a 30 ton travelift and has storage for 25 yachts.

DEVELOPMENTSAt St George’s, there are plans for a mega-yacht facility in the Carenage as well as extensive berthing in the sheltered Lagoon area with a luxury hotel and a marina village.

At Le Phare Bleu Marina & Resort, in Calivigny Bay, there will be 64 stern-to

berths for yachts up to 60 ft alongside a residential and amenity complex. Also on the south coast, in Prickly Bay, a EC$ 70 million marina with a luxury mega-yacht facility with fl oating accommodation and hotel complex is under construction. Another marina develop-ment is planned for Virgin Beach.

A new full service marina is also being developed in Tyrrel Bay, Carriacou, with 150 berths and yacht services as well as restau-rants, shops and storage.

The yachting sector is clearly ripe for invest-ment, with a series of public-private partner-ships transforming the industry. If all the developments now being planned or under way come to fruition, Grenada will have more than doubled its yachting capacity by 2010.

GROWTHDuring this yachting renaissance, the industry established the Marine & Yachting Association of Grenada (MAYAG), to help lobby Government and to promote Grenada both regionally and internationally and to act as a bureau for boaters.

The Government of Grenada has acknowl-edged the sector by creating

legislation to facilitate growth and address matters such as duty free status for ves-sels, a yachting desk, a cruising permit that grants an unlimited stays, and, more recently streamlining the clearance procedures with a one page form which is available online (the offi cial website of Grenada Board of Tourism www.grenadagrenadines.com or MAYAG’s website at www.mayag.org) and can be completed prior to arrival.

CUSTOMSTHE Customs Department plays a key role in the collection and protection of revenue by enforcing various regulations, prohibi-tions and restrictions. There are penalties for breaches of Customs regulations and for evasion of charges. A Customs offi cer should be consulted in case of doubt and complaints should be made to the Customs Supervisor.

Declaration: Importers or their agents are required to submit an Import Declaration which should include:

• Invoices giving value, type and quantity• Bills of lading• Insurance certifi cate• Import licence• Permits and origin certifi cates where applicable• Value declaration form for goods over EC$ 500.

When the application is approved – usually within 48 hours – an assessment notice will be generated showing total taxes due. This must be paid before the cargo is released. In the

absence of invoices, goods may be examined and valued. Certain goods may be released pending a guarantee of the duty and tax liability. Manifested gift packages may be exempt.

Temporary imports: Certain goods may be allowed into the country on a temporary basis under agreed conditions free of duty and tax, or on proportional payment. Any duty and tax liability must be secured by bank bonds or cash deposit, and these goods must be examined when imported and verifi ed when exported.

Re-imported goods: Re-imported goods which have been repaired or renovated may be liable for duty and tax, depending on the cost of repairs and freight charges or appreciation, at the rates in force at time of re-importing.

Refund claims: Exported goods on which duty and tax are to be refunded must be exported within one year after the date of importation and must be certifi ed and in some cases verifi ed.

Examining goods: The onus is on the import-er or his agent to unpack and re-pack items before and after examination. Offi cers are permitted to take samples. When the offi cer is satisfi ed that goods are duly entered, he will issue an out-of-charge note to the Ports Authority, which will then deliver the goods.

IMMIGRATIONAll passengers entering Grenada by air or sea are screened by the Immigration Depart-ment, whose job is to fi lter out criminals,

drug traffi ckers, undesirable aliens and anyone who could become a fi nancial liability to the government.

Incoming passengers are required to enter Grenada through a legal port of entry or a port designated by an Immigration offi cer.

Whenever a vessel (or aircraft) arrives, the Immigration offi cer can ask the master (or captain) for a passenger list. Visitors should fi ll in an embarkation and disembarkation form; the Immigration offi cer will issue a permit for a specifi c number of days. Cruise passengers are not required to complete this form unless staying for one or more nights or leaving Grenada on a different vessel. Visi-tors planning to stay in Grenada for any time should have a return air or sea ticket.

The Immigration Department covers all main ports of entry including airports, while the Coastguard monitors small bays where yachts might seek illegal entry.

Detection of illicit drugs is a vital function of the Department, which uses modern communications to liaise with Interpol and other enforcement agencies in North America and the UK.

Doing business with Grenada Ports

DEPOSITSDeposits required for provision of services to ship and cargo agents, the amount can be obtained from the port’s accounts department.

EQUIPMENTFor hire or use of any port equipment, including fork-lift trucks and container handling equip-ment, a requisition must be made to the Equip-ment Supervisor at least 48 hours in advance.

LAID-UP STATUSVessels anchored or moored that are not being used for commercial or residential purposes may apply to the Port Manager to be classed as ‘laid-up’ prior to being laid up. Application or requisition forms are available from the Marine Unit of the Authority or from ships’ agents.

BERTHINGAn application is required for using any of the Authority’s berths. This is usually submitted through the agent and must reach the Marine Unit at least 48 hours before the vessel arrives. The berthing application also shows whether the vessel is carrying dangerous/hazardous goods, and indicates what services are required (for example, pilots, equipment, overtime).

CARGOThe following applies to the receipt, storage and delivery of cargo:BULK - Cargo such as asphalt in drums, fertilis-ers, sugar and grain are usually delivered direct from ship to truck. Liquid petroleum bulk products are discharged from dedicated mooring points in Grand Mal Bay. Special approval is required from the Authority (and Customs) for the discharge of such bulks at places other than ports.COLD STORAGE - Chilled or frozen cargo is normally delivered from ship to truck. However, the Authority has a limited number of plug-in points for on-site storage of reefer cargo.CONTAINERS - Agents must authorise movement of containers from ports to inland

destinations. A Container Interchange Form must be completed to allow movement from the port and upon return.

COMPUTERISED INFORMATIONThe Authority operates a computerised informa-tion system for the receipt and delivery of cargo. It is imperative that clear copies of the manifest are submitted to the Authority not less than 48 hours before arrival.

COVERED WAREHOUSINGThe Authority does not provide covered ware-housing for all types of goods. A request must be made to the Authority with regard to goods that require special protection.

DANGEROUS CARGODangerous and hazardous cargoes must be declared. The Authority has very limited facilities for storing such goods and importers must ar-range for immediate removal from ports.

LEGISLATIONThe principal legislation governing the Authority is Cap. 247, the Grenada Ports Authority Act (No 14 of 1978 as amended). The main subsidiary legislation is the Ports Regulations, SRO No 14 of 1981; the Schedule to these regulations is the Ports’ Tariff, which is amended from time to time. The amendment now effective is SRO No 12 of 1997. Copies of the relevant legislation are available from the Authority’s main offi ce or from the Government’s Printery Department.

LICENCESLicences are required for conducting business within the precincts of the ports. Such busi-nesses include agency, brokerage, chandlery, commercial operation of marine craft and vending. The Authority is also responsible for control of port foreshore development. Approval must be obtained for any erection, installation or construction within the limits of the ports. Its approval must be obtained for any erection, in-stallation or construction that will impinge on the foreshore or waters within the limits of the ports.

PERSONAL EFFECTSMany nationals abroad send or return to Grenada with an assortment of personal effects. These can include vehicles, machinery and equipment in addition to household effects. These items do not benefi t from any special regime at the ports, so a check should be made with the Department of Customs to fi nd out what rates of duty are likely to be levied. Also check with the Grenada Industrial Development Corporation to fi nd out whether certain items qualify for special exemption. Failure to do so may result in signifi cant charges as well as Excess Storage Rent being incurred at ports.

SALE OF GOODS AND CONTAINERSThe Authority may sell, after notice in the Govern-ment Gazette, and by public auction, goods and containers that remain on the premises after periods of time specifi ed in the regulations have elapsed (usually not less than six weeks) The remainder of the proceeds of such sales, after cer-tain expenses, including Customs charges, have been met, is payable to the original owner upon presentation of a claim to the Authority. Perishable goods and dangerous and offensive cargo may be sold or otherwise disposed of without notice.

STORAGEThe free storage period is fi ve working days, commencing from the date of discharge or of placement on the port. The free storage period for containers is 14 days for ro-ro and 21 days for lo-lo containers, or the next normally sched-uled call of the line, whichever is sooner.

VEHICLESVehicles are subject to a Terminal Use charge based on weight or volume, whichever is greater, as well as other applicable charges in the Tariff. Vehicles and machinery that are described as personal effects are subject to all the usual charges and may attract Customs duties that may be signifi cant. Before import-ing such items, check with the Department of Customs to fi nd relevant rates and if any special concessions are available.

The Government of Grenada engaged a regional development company in 1993 to examine the possibilities for a new cruise port. A joint venture agreement was signed in 1998 but two years later it became apparent that this could not be realised. Searching for alternatives, the Government of Grenada engaged the Züblin Group, a Swiss/Dutch real estate invest-ment, development and construc-tion group.

After an in-depth study, Züblin Grenada Ltd (Züblin) took over the obligations of the regional develop-ment company to complete the cruise port and its associated land reclamation. Within the next year, the preliminary project design was completed and an extensive cruise market and retail analysis were car-ried out to assess Grenada’s market position in the southern Caribbean.

Over the next four years an invest-ment of some $100,000,000 realised:

• Dedicated cruise passenger port

• Welcome Centre with landscaped grounds and parking facilities

• Esplanade Shopping Mall

• Bruce Street Commercial Complex.

This success story built on 10 acres of reclaimed land and dedicated to the spectacular advancement of Grenada in the Caribbean’s tourism market.
