Expectations
Knowledge zone
Visuals
Larger ships calling on our ports, resulting in more pilot
activities and towage assistance.
Increase of towage assistance for tankers calling upon Bullen
Bay and its oil storage facilities.
Increase of commercial development on wharves and port
properties.
Increase of commercial activities, as the Ports of Curaçao will
develop its overall product and supply to be the “one-shopstop” for all maritime activities in the region.
An organized, clean and environmental and costumer friendly
port, complying to international standards.
Trends
Gradually more harbor activities will concentrate outside the port
of Willemstad:
Megapier at Otrobanda.
Activities at Bullen Bay.
International towage jobs abroad.
Development and cruise berthing at Caracas Bay.
Meaning, more commercial development in and around the inner
city, especially the wharves on the Otrobanda and Punda sites.
Future of regional shipping
Growth of shipping activities in the region will be determined
by the change in transshipment and logistical routes due to the
expansion in Panama, the positioning of storage for the
petrochemical industry and the market developments in cruise
tourism.
KTK’s potential in the international market is growing due to the
island’s geographical location to the Americas, the Caribbean
and the Panama Canal.
Economic advantage can be reached through aggressive
marketing efforts of the services and products that CPA and
KTK can offer.
Expectations
Vessels calling on the ports of Curaçao will be larger (postPanamex , VLCC, mega cruise ships);
More activities due to more vessel calls, bunkering, supply,
repairs, services, cargo, and cruise visits;
Oil Storage activities at Bullen Bay will increase;
Commercial development on the wharves and port areas;
New developments outside the Willemstad port.
