The Trinidad and Tobago Customs and Excise Division, in collaboration with the Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (PATT) with its Cargo Handling Facility The Port of Port of Spain (PPOS) and the Point Lisas Industrial Port Development Corporation Limited (PLIPDECO) hereby advises the national community and shipping stakeholders of coordinated measures that have been implemented to effectively manage vessel traffic operations at the Port of Port of Spain during the period October 22nd to October 30th, 2025.

In the interest of minimizing delays to importers and exporters, both Ports (PPOS and PLIPDECO) and Customs and Excise have been working collaboratively to facilitate the temporary optional redirection and processing of vessels and cargo at the Port of Point Lisas. This measure ensures that Shipping Lines, Agents and Shippers who choose to utilise this option would allow for customers to receive their cargo as anticipated.
