When the Port Management Association of the Caribbean (PMAC) convened its 21st Annual General Meeting in Jamaica’s beautiful north coast setting, it was the largest attendance ever recorded at any of the previous 20. Registration of delegates and participants for the first time topped 100.

The PMAC evolved out of a previous version of itself and so its first annual general meeting was actually the date on which it started this current life. And so, at its 21st AGM, the PMAC had completed 20 years of service to port authorities and management personnel across the Caribbean region.

All but very few of the region’s major seaports, member-ports of the PMAC, were represented at this well-organized event, hosted by the Caribbean Maritime University (CMU). The setting provided by the Jewel Dunn’s River resort for the conference, June 27 to 29 (2018), was perfect.

Following a spectacular opening ceremony and welcoming addresses from local political leaders, ministers of government and the representative of the local shipping community, the CMU launched its academic journal. With the opening ceremonies completed, the regional port managers sat for three days of information gathering, idea exchanges, reviews, analyses and discussions about common issues and
regional trends. —
