Eighty-eight years represents generations of business leaders, shipping professionals, Presidents, Executive Council members and stakeholders. Without properly recording that history, much of it could be lost.
We cannot build the future effectively if we lose sight of the journey that brought us here.”
The publication also recognises the contribution of the many individuals and organisations whose commitment, leadership and collaboration have helped to strengthen Trinidad and Tobago’s shipping and maritime industry over the years.
