About Us
The Shipping Association of Guyana (SAG) is a non- governmental organization that serves as the advocate for the entire shipping industry in Guyana. We represent the interests of all operators including:
- Shipowners
- Shipping Agents
- Terminal Operators
- Cargo Haulers and transporters (road, air and river)
SAG acts as the liaison between operators and relevant government agencies, especially the
Maritime Administration Department (MARAD). The Association is now recognized as the institution
responsible for consultations with relevant agencies for improved infrastructure, re-framing laws and requirements regarding all aspects of shipping.
SAG is the bona fide representative in Guyana of the Caribbean Shipping Association (CSA).
Our Mission
Through dynamic LEADERSHIP and ADVOCACY, SAG will actively represent the interests of its members,
clients, stakeholders and all other operators at local, regional and international levels, ensuring the highest

relevant to Guyana’s maritime transportation sector. - To transform into a financially self-sustaining organization by consistently increasing membership.
