SCASPA'S
New Jet Fuel Facility is Fully Operational
A
new jet fuel storage and supply facility has commenced
full operations at the
Robert
L.
Bradshaw
International
Airport
. That was the announcement made by
Linkon Maynard
, Chairman of SCASPA's Board, on Monday, July 24. This
new facility which replaces a smaller and outdated
fuel farm will be operated by Shell Aviation under a
15-year operating concession.
Samer
Jumean, General Manager & CEO of SCASPA, said that
the new facility will have a storage capacity of about 270,000
liters, one and a half times
the capacity of the
older facility. In
addition to having pipeline access to jet fuel, the
new fuel farm is equipped with systems to
ensure full compliance with world class safety and
environmental standards. The plant has also been
designed in a modular fashion to allow expansion of the
plant to meet growing demands for fuel.
Under the
15-year concession
which was awarded to Shell Aviation through a
competitive bidding process, Shell Aviation funded the
full cost associated with constructing and
decommissioning the new and old facilities,
respectively. During the concession period, Shell
Aviation will operate and maintain the facility and at
the end of the concession period, the assets of the facility
will be transferred to SCASPA at which time SCASPA will negotiate
terms with Shell Aviation or enter into a new
concession.
Mr.
Jumean concluded by saying that this concession marks
the first transaction under which the private
sector was invited by SCASPA to construct, fund, operate
and maintain an infrastructure operation. Mr.
Jumean expects that such a scheme will be utilized for
the development of the upcoming new Fixed Based
Operation at the airport as well as other new projects.

New Rates at Sea Port
July 21, 2006
- For
the first time in thirteen years, St. Christopher Air
and Sea Ports Authority (SCASPA) has made substantial
changes to its tariff structure at the sea port.
Earlier this year, Cabinet approved proposed
adjusted tariffs and new rates will come into effect on
July 29, 2006. This
information was disclosed today in a live round table
discussion aired on ZIZ Broadcasting Corporation.
Mr. Samer Jumean, Transitional General Manager
and Chief Executive Officer; and Mr. Leroy Ferdinand,
Commercial Officer, explained the new tariff structure
in a discussion that was moderated by Delcia
Bradley-King, Public Relations and Customer Service
Manager.
In
his opening remarks, Mr. Jumean pointed out that the
adjustments in tariffs are part of SCASPA’s plan to
become more financially disciplined.
“Rates have been simplified, others increased
and a security fee introduced,” he said.
Jumean pointed out that some changes had to be
made so that operations can become cost effective.
He referred to overtime rates for operators paid
by agents. “Presently,
SCASPA charges agents EC$11.25 for each overtime hour,
but pays the operators $20 per hour.
This means that SCASPA has been subsidizing costs
over the years.”
Leroy
Ferdinand explained that the landed cost has been
simplified so that customers pay a flat rate depending
on the size of the container.
Currently, customers are charged cargo, cargo
handling and tonnage dues based on actual volume/tonnage
of containers. As
of July 29 they will pay EC$610 for a 10 ft container,
EC$1,220 for a 20 ft container and EC$2,440 for a 40 ft
container, regardless of the volume.
“Rather than increase the cost per container,
SCASPA has introduced a boxed rate”, Ferdinand said.
The
tonnage conversion has also been adjusted.
Presently, 1 ton is equivalent to 40 cubic feet
but under the new tariff structure 1 ton will be
equated to 35 cubic feet.
This change in conversion affects break-bulk
cargo – cargo that is not containerized.
Customers
will pay higher charges for rental of forklifts and
stacker, and an adjusted container lift fee. Ferdinand
explained that presently, SCASPA lifts containers at an
hourly rate of $250 but under the new structure,
customers will be charged $100 per container.
This change, he pointed out, will benefit the
customer who now pays $250 to lift two containers within
an hour.
In
addressing the implications of the International Ship
and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code introduced by the
International Maritime Organization, Mr. Jumean
indicated that customers will pay a security fee of
EC$54 per container.
He explained, “Since member countries have been
mandated to become ISPS compliant, SCASPA has no choice
but to enhance its security measures.”
He identified access
control, identification badges, surveillance
systems and increased lighting as part of the improved
security plan. “These
improvements will cost about EC$1.5 million,” the GM
and CEO noted.
Ferdinand added that customers who import
break bulk cargo will be charged a security fee of EC$3
per ton.
Bradley-King
was careful to assure the public that SCASPA has made a
commitment to improve its service.
She identified customer service training for
staff, tighter control measures to minimize loss of and
damage to cargo, and increased signage in Transit Shed
II as some of the short term plans.
Medium term plans include repairing the roof on
Transit Shed II and the road leading to Transit Shed I.
Customers
were encouraged to call 465-8121 ext 122 or e-mail
info@scaspa.com for more information.
