Ramps Logistics denied local content certificate

Ramps Logistics Guyana Inc – which has 49% Trinidadian ownership – yesterday said that it has been denied a local content certificate, a development that will fuel the growing debate over regional interests gaining access to opportunities in the oil and gas industry here.

“We applied in April and were asked for additional documents, all of which were submitted by June[1st].

“On June 8th we got an automatic email stating our application was denied. We do not know why it was denied. We reached out to the Secretariat and received the same response. A lawyer’s letter was subsequently sent seeking answers but still no response. We are unaware as to if it has anything to do with Arapaima”, an official of the company told Stabroek News yesterday.
