ACP to cooperate with Curaçao Ports Authority

Renewable on a two-year basis, the MOU aims to generate new business in tourism and trade. The MOU was signed by ACP Administrator/CEO Alberto Alemán Zubieta and the CPA’s general managing director Richard Julius López Ramírez.

As part of the MOU, the ACP and CPA will undertake a series of activities to promote the oceanic exchange of goods, including joint advertisements, data interchange and competitive market analyses of the shipping industry. In addition, they will share information on new developments such as modernisation efforts and personnel training programmes.

“With direct links to major markets and telecommunications infrastructure, the Port of Willemstad – Curaçao’s largest port – is at the centre of the CPA’s capital improvement plan. We now look forward to the opportunities this MOU will bring for both entities, as we constantly work to enhance our services,” said López Ramírez. Curaçao is one of the Caribbean’s most developed ports, according to the CPA, boasting the region’s largest dry dock, modern cruise terminals and a mega cruise facility.
