OUR MISSION
The
provision and maintenance of the required
sea transportation infrastructure for
the British Virgin Islands, and the
efficient and effective handling of
the related cargo and passenger operations.
ORGANIZATION
The British
Virgin Islands Ports Authority (The
Authority) was established by the British
Virgin Islands Ports Authority Act,
No. 12 of 1990 (the Act), as a separate
corporate entity, solely owned by the
Government of the British Virgin Islands.
The Authority began its operations under
the Act in January 1991. Prior
to the establishment of the Authority,
most of its functions were carried out
by the Ports and Marine Services Department
of the Government (see also http://www.bvigovernment.org/).
The Ports and Marine Services regulations
(the regulations) and the related Tariff
were saved under the Act and together
they govern the operations of the Authority.
The Ports Authority is governed by a
Board comprised of a chairman, Deputy
chairman, five members, and three ex-officio
members. We are also a member
of the American Association of Port
Authorities (see http://www.aapa-ports.org/).
REGULATIONS
When the
British Virgin Islands Ports Authority
was established in 1991, the Ports and
Marine Services regulations and the
related tariff were saved under the
Act and continued to govern the operations
of the Authority. The completion
of the Ports Development Project effectively
increased the Authority's assets and
the related liabilities.
As a result, a tariff study was completed
and recommendations was made for revised
rates, as well as reconstructing the
tariff. Subsequently, the Authority
completed a revision of the Regulations
incorporating the proposed tariff.
The British Virgin Islands Ports Authority
Regulations, Statutory Instrument No.
27 of 1995, has been approved by the
Executive and Legislative Councils and
appropriately gazetted.
