NAVIGATING LOCAL MARKET REALITIES While Trinidad remains a key industrial hub for the region, the country’s current natural gas constraints have posed challenges for many manufacturers. Massy Gas, whose nitrogen customers include major industrial operations at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate, has been closely monitoring these developments. “There’s a challenge in the local market with natural gas supply,” Millet explains.“But we’re optimistic. By 2027, new upstream projects are expected to come online that will ease those constraints.” Despite the headwinds, Massy Gas’s diversified export portfolio has provided stability and resilience. With a strong foothold in 30 export destinations, the company continues to balance local supply with international demand, ensuring a steady flow of product and revenue across multiple economies. RESILIENT SUPPLY CHAIN ACROSS THE REGION Global supply chains have undergone turbulence over the past several years, but Massy Gas reports that conditions have largely stabilized since the pandemic.The company continues to face increased shipping and import costs in some markets, but the regional trade network it serves—spanning the Caribbean and Latin America—offers significant logistical advantages. “Our supply chain is much stronger now,” Millet notes.“We still experience some cost pressures, but overall reliability has improved, especially within the Caribbean network.” 19 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 12, ISSUE 11 MASSY GAS PRODUCTS
