What is the FAS system
now in operation at the Bridgetown Port?
Up until July 1998, the Shipping line
or its Agent was responsible for the payment of landing, storage
and delivery charges on behalf of the importer/consignee. These
charges were then recovered by the Line or its Agent. Now, except
in the case of NVOCC's, the importer/consignee must pay these charges
directly to the Barbados
Port Authority. There is therefore no additional expense to
the importer/consignee.
