The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) organised facility tours to TriStar Port of Guyana and Vreed-en-Hoop Shorebase Inc. (VEHSI), offering participants an opportunity to observe the operations of two major facilities within Guyana’s maritime, logistics and energy sectors. The visits were attended by GCCI Senior Vice President, Mr. Gavin Ramsoondar, and Chairperson of the Human Resource Management and Capacity Building Committee, Mrs. Mohini Somaroo.

At TriStar Port of Guyana, the delegation was welcomed by Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Cristobal Schlaubitz; Owner and Executive Chairman, Mr. Krishna Persaud; and Chief Deployment Officer, Mr. Rabin Chandarpal. The team provided an overview of the facility and its role in supporting commercial trade and offshore energy operations. Mr. Chandarpal also shared practical entrepreneurial advice, drawing on his experience and encouraging an open discussion through questions from participants.

The Vreed-en-Hoop Shorebase Inc. (VEHSI) tour was facilitated by Mr. Ronell Gonsalves, Assistant Foundational Services Manager, who delivered a comprehensive overview of the facility’s operations, infrastructure and services that support offshore petroleum activities.

The tours provided valuable exposure to the scale, coordination and range of services involved in operating these facilities, while allowing participants to interact directly with the professionals responsible for their management and operations.

GCCI thanks the management and teams at both facilities for welcoming the delegation and sharing their knowledge.

Special thanks are also extended to Cyril’s Transportation Service (CTS) for providing safe transportation throughout the visits.
