Regional Chambers of Commerce brainstorm Caribbean shipping woes

Caribbean Chambers of Commerce have been taking a recent incisive look at the key factors, not least trade and shipping considerations, linked mainly to the impact of the coronavirus which have been impacting on business efficiency in the region, not least those that have to do with the shipping industry.
  A March 30 report in the Jamaica Gleaner reportedly arising out of an assessment undertaken by the Network of Caribbean Chambers of Commerce (CARICHAM) says that shipping woes accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic along with what it describes as “inefficiencies in trade arrangements within the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) region,” have been prominent among the stumbling blocks to doing business in the region.
 The Gleaner Report quotes CARICHAM Vice-Chairman, Andrew Santey, as stating that the shipping-related challenges to doing business in the region have also been accentuated by “a disconnect between local laws and global agreements.”
