 The
Ports of Curaçao are all natural, sheltered ports that offer
safe, fast, efficient and reliable handling of both ships and cargo.
Curaçao has always played an important role in international
commerce due to its strategic location, stable political conditions
and its deep and wide naturally sheltered main harbor, the Port of
Willemstad. The Port of Willemstad has been recognized with the award:'Most
Dependable Port 1997' by the Caribbean Shipping Association.
The Port of Willemstad's strategic geographical location with respect
to the United States, South America and Europe is one of the major
factors that has contributed in making Curaçao such an important
regional transshipment hub for container shipping. In fact, the Port
of Willemstad is the second biggest seaport in the Kingdom of the
Netherlands, after Rotterdam, and definitely one of the two or three
most modern and efficient ports in the wider Caribbean, featuring
among others the best mooring facility for latest generation mega
cruise ships.
State-of-the-art technology combined with quality service, make the
Willemstad Container Terminal one of the largest and most reliable
and efficient in the region. CPS offers general cargo, container,
bulk, break-bulk, neo-bulk and transshipment handling, roll-on/roll-off
facilities, reefer facilities, stripping/stuffing and storage facilities
at competitive rates and operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
all year round. In January 1998 CPS became the first in the Caribbean
to achieve the ISO 9002 Certificate Summa Cum Laude, for her entire
administrative and operational activities. Add to this the fact that
Curaçao is located off the main hurricane routes and you have
the perfect gateway in the Caribbean. |
