Challenge

Point Lisas, operated by PLIPDECO, was a declining port losing relevance in a competitive regional shipping market.

Approach

Alton Worldwide introduced LCL (less-than-container-load) warehouse systems and a transshipment strategy to capture cargo moving through the region, and invested in modern container cranes and handling equipment to raise throughput.

Result

Point Lisas became the largest container terminal in the region and a premier industrial estate, anchoring Trinidad's industrial corridor.
