Caribbean Shipping Association

Announces Plans To Establish

Headquarters In Jamaica

Jamaica is to be headquarters of the newly formed Caribbean Shipping Association, ac- cording to William G. Whiting, U.S. director of the Jamaica Industrial Development Corpo- ration.

The new regional shipping body's constitu- tion was drafted by Jamaica. It is designed to facilitate the exchange of experience, advice and information among all parties actively interested in the shipping industry of the

Caribbean.

Mr. Whiting said: "Roll-on/roll-off cargo service between Jamaica and the U.S. and

Jamaica and Europe is burgeoning. For ex- ample, Tropical Shipping offers once-a-week service to and from Palm Beach; Caribbean

Trailer Express and Amerind service the

Jamaica-New York route once a week; and

Pan American Mail Line, Norwegian Carib- bean Line and Kirkconnel Line each provide weekly service between Miami and Jamaica. "In addition to its U.S.-Jamaica sailings,

Sea-Land Service, Inc. began a weekly con- tainership service in 1970 that provides door- to-door, door-to-pier and pier-to-pier service to Kingston from six ports in Spain, France and Italy."

Among the latest entrants are those of

Atlantic Lines, whose new roll-on/roll-off containership Atlantic Jamaican will shortly begin a New York-Bermuda-Jamaica service, and Trans-Caribbean Shipping Co. Ltd., whose

Montego-based Seahawk recently inaugurated a Florida-Jamaica cargo service.
