Ramps says met all guidelines for local content certificate

-company says has 398 Guyanese in its employ

Ramps Logistics Guyana – the largest logistics company servicing the oil and gas sector here has not ruled out legal action in its quest for a reason behind the Local Content Secretariat’s (LCS) denial of access to the local content register.

The company, which has a 49% Trinidadian ownership, is contending that it has satisfied all the requirements outlined in the Local Content Act to be considered as a “local company” and should therefore qualify for access to the register. Ramps, which was a 100% Trinidadian-owned entity just a few months ago, divested 51% of its shares to Deepak Lall – a Trinidadian businessman with Guyanese heritage. It says that it currently employs 398 Guyanese.
