A key development since the last profile is Shipco’s increased emphasis on regional expansion and market support. Sammy’s focus reflects that strategy, enabling direct engagement with island markets to better understand what customers need and where service gaps exist. The company is actively exploring stronger trade lane options from Asia into Trinidad, Barbados, and Guyana, as well as Europe into Barbados and Guyana, and vice versa. One of the most important themes emerging from these regional conversations is the challenge of servicing smaller islands cost-effectively, particularly for LCL cargo.Trinidad and Jamaica operate as larger transshipment hubs with stronger port infrastructure, but smaller island markets face constraints that can increase cost and limit consistency. Shipco’s focus is on tailoring solutions to those realities, identifying opportunities for more direct services and improved consolidation strategies that make regional shipping more accessible and cost competitive. 60 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 13, ISSUE 01
