The Caribbean Shipping Association (CSA) is proud to serve as a partner in the CARIPORTS initiative, led by the Guadeloupe Port Authority (Grand Port Maritime de la Guadeloupe – GPMG) and supported under the Interreg Caribbean Programme.

The first phase of the initiative, CARIPORTS I (2021–2024), focused on strengthening cooperation among Caribbean ports and developing synergies around environmental management and sustainable port practices.

Building on these achievements, CARIPORTS II (2024–2027) aims to develop and implement the first environmental labelling certification dedicated specifically to Caribbean seaports. This initiative seeks to support ports across the region in improving environmental performance, strengthening resilience to climate change, and advancing more sustainable port operations.

Through this second phase, participating ports will collaborate on the development of shared standards and best practices that promote environmental responsibility while supporting the long-term sustainability of the Caribbean maritime sector.

The CARIPORTS II project is co-financed by the Interreg Caribbean Programme.
