Government is currently re-suscitating port-of-entry operations at the Morawhanna Fish Port Complex in Region One (Barima/Waini) in order to facilitate travel and trade with some Caricom countries and further afield.
Provisions are currently in place to facilitate sporadic requests for processing exports from the region to neighbouring Trinidad and Tobago (T&T). In a telephone interview, Prime Minister Samuel Hinds told Stabroek News that 70 to 100 tonnes ocean-going vessels ply the route from T&T to Charity on the Pomeroon River which is used as a port-of-entry to trade in agricultural produce such as eddoes, ginger, coconut water and copra. He said too in recent years, there have been a number of requests to reactivate Morawhanna because of the growing need to find markets for agricultural, forestry and quarrying products from the region to T&T and other Caricom countries.
Hinds said agricultural products could be shipped to T&T within 20 to 24 hours in small, ocean-going vessels. This is about the same time it takes to reach Georgetown before it is again shipped to other destinations. Operating the port at Morawhanna is less time consuming and more profitable for farmers and producers. Hinds said AMCAR (Amazon Caribbean) company which exports the heart-of-palm to North American and European markets, expressed an interest in shipping its products from Morawhanna instead of shipping to Georgetown then to other markets.
Quarrying companies operating in the area are also interested in shipping stone to T&T and other Caricom countries while logging companies would prefer to ship lumber from Morawhanna to T&T for transfer to their Asian markets. Hinds said furniture and craft production are also done in the region, for which there is a Caricom market. He said too persons can travel to T&T by boat once the port-of-entry was fully reactivated.
