In March this year, Ramps Logistics Guyana (RLG) and N & S Algoo Customs Brokerage Service signed a contractual agreement on brokerage services.

A release yesterday from Ramps Logistics, whose parent company is Trinidadian,  said that the partnership would see the collaboration of the resources, technology, and processes between both companies. As approved in RLG’s local content master plan, this partnership is a critical element to develop the local capacity in achieving the Health, Safety, Security and Environment and other requirements necessary for contributing to the energy sector. Additionally, Ramps has trained the N&S Algoo team on their L.A.S.E.R. Technology.

According to  Nandalall Algoo, CEO of N & S Algoo Customs Brokerage Service, “We are excited to partner with Ramps Logistics Guyana, a company that shares our commitment to delivering high-quality services to clients in Guyana. This will encourage us to learn from each other, combine our strengths and consolidate our efforts to serve our clients better.”

Shaun Rampersad, Chairman of Ramps Logistics Guyana said: “This partnership aligns with our commitment to developing local content in Guyana and contributing to building the technical capacity of its people. We are confident it will help us provide service to our clients and contribute to the development of the local economy.”

Ramps Logistics had come under close scrutiny from the Local Content Secretariat (LCS) last year and had been denied a certificate to operate under the governing Act. It later won a court battle on the matter and the LCS was instructed to issue it with a Certificate of Registration.

Founded in December 2012, the release said that N&S Algoo has provided customs brokerage solutions across telecommunications, mining, retail, distribution, and many other industries.
