gua in 1998, PMAC has grown to become a
critical resource for port managers through
the establishment of programs, events and
tools which effectively help members glean
greater insight on best practices and solu-
tions for overcoming challenges. As PMAC
Chairman Lenius Lendor explains, “We pro-
vide a crucial role in bringing ports together
for networking, for sharing information and
ideas on how to solve problems. As we learn
from each other, we are more able to arrive
at optimum solutions. We all face common
problems, but we embrace a philosophy that
where there is unity, there is strength ... we
can face problems better as a collective rath-
er than as a single port.”
PMAC’s ultimate aim is to increase the
operational proficiency of member ports
and the quality of services offered to their us-
ers. In the fulfilling of this mission, the Asso-
ciation has since become respected as one of
the leading voices of authority on port man-
agement and port operations matters in the
Caribbean. In addition to facilitating collab-
oration of regional ports through the devel-
opment of training, job exchange programs
and sharing of human resources, PMAC is a
leader in the promotion of professionalism
in port administration within the region.
It is the fundamental conduit from which
uniform and sustainable practices can be in-
tegrated throughout Caribbean port opera-
