Shipping timber is a challenge in Guyana since “the access channel to the port is always under threat from heavy silting and this is a challenge for the authorities as regular dredging is necessary,” according to the recently published Tropical Timber Market Report.
This month exports such as greenheart, purpleheart and mora logs, faced delays because of the silted port which is controlled by a Maritime Administration Department operating under the Maritime Act. The International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO) report noted that draft limitations have always been a problem on the East Bank Shipping port along with the 3 to 4-metre tide range.
Barama Company Ltd, East Bank Demerara, is the leading forest resource and wood products company in Guyana. It is one of Guyana’s biggest employers, with approximately 1000 employees. Its core business includes the sale of hardwood logs and sawn timber, and the manufacturing of plywood, decking and flooring products. The Guyana Forestry Commission’s Code of Practice for Timber Harvesting regulates the timber operations in the country. As good corporate citizens, the company carefully conducts itself according to the laws of the land; and like all other operators, it is kept in check through continuous monitoring by the Guyana Forestry Commission.
