Montemar S.A.

Since 1951 Montemar has been serving international liner shipping trades from its base in Montevideo, Uruguay. It is a major force in the two trades it serves from the East Coast of South America. One to Northern Europe and the other to the United States, East Coast and Gulf, Mexico and Central America (where it trades under the name of Pan-American Independent Line). Recently the services have been augmented with connections to/from Mexico and Central America. Although Montemar is of a creative and independent nature, the requirements of international liner shipping dictate that ever larger ships, offering economies of scale, are used in order to allow lines to operate as efficiently as possible. In common with all shipping lines, this has necessitated Montemar forming partnerships with other reputable companies to operate fleets of modern, sophisticated vessels. By this method Montemar remains both price competitive as well as offering the frequency and high quality service levels required by ever more demanding customers, whilst at the same time preserving completely its commercial identity and direct relationships with its broad customer base. Notwithstanding the global size of some of its partners, Montemar controls significant or controlling interests in these partnerships ensuring that the interests of its customers are always paramount in decision making.

Tecmarine Lines, Inc.

Tecmarine Lines, Inc. is a containership line operating a fleet of ships in United States East Coast, and Caribbean and South America trade, with scheduled service to most of the important markets. The line is a family owned business founded in 1985 with annual sales of approximately US$80 million. With the beginning of this year came a decision to improve the focus of the Tecmarine business in the Caribbean by concentration on the most profitable ports with the most balance, or two-way, traffic.

Thus one of the three itineraries was sold to another regional carrier, and Tecmarine upgraded its efforts in the market between the US east coast and Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. This effort was enhanced by the new concept of “trade teams”, for personalized service to all customers. One trade team was established for each of the markets, and cross training allowed broader coverage in case of volume surges in any give area. The simplified service pattern employs three vessels allowing weekly, day-of-the-week service, to all three ports in the US and the four ports off shore: Kingston, Montego Bay, Port au Prince, and Rio Haina in the Dominican Republic.
