The need to gain in time and to ensure safety and security of maritime exchanges is
nowadays a priority for all the port and maritime stakeholders including importers and
exporters. In the Caribbean region, small islands are dependent of maritime exchanges.
The security initiatives of the American and European ports accelerated and systematized
since September 11, will impose to all ports of the Caribbean for their exports and
transhipment operations, the procedures permitting the anticipation of containers and
contents, as well as their follow-up. Only the port communities structured around shared
computerised systems will be able to answer these requirements of security and safety and
will be able to maintain and reinforce their exchanges.
For all these reasons, systems which allow the “traceability” of maritime, port and customs
exchanges to ensure security and productivity are needed.
CEIBA has been the pioneer in the Caribbean region to deploy such a Cargo Community
System on the Port of Jarry in Guadeloupe. Strong from this experience, CEIBA is the
project manager of CLOVIS (Caribbean Laboratory for Open and value Added Information
Systems), validated by INTERREG. CLOVIS is aiming to conceive the same type of CCS in
the Barbados, Dominica, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint-Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago, in order to
facilitate and to secure the exchanges.
With its System AP+, SOGET from Le HAVRE, is a strong partner of CLOVIS, helping in the
construction of a linked Caribbean region, serving the exchanges in the area, the
productivity of the islands and the capacity to respond to various globalisation’s threats
and opportunities.
To allow the realisation of the project, CEIBA is implementing steering committees in each
partner island including representatives of Customs, Port authorities, Maritime companies,
Warehousing agents, Forwarding agents, importers and exporters, carriers… These
Committees will be able to sign Memorandum Of Understanding for the setting up of the
necessary studies and audits for the platforms analysis and planning. They will receive
the audit and situational analysis results, and will validate, if necessary, the technical and
procedural recommendations and the solutions.
Guadeloupe and Martinique, as a part of the European Union, want to play an important
role concerning exchanges and cooperation within the Caribbean Region. The APE,
awaiting for signature between Europe and the Caricom, are a set of commitments and
tools for the construction of markets in favour of development and cooperation.

“CLOVIS” is a project aiming to undertake the situational analysis for the deployment of port and maritime hubs in the Caribbean area.
The concept ‘CLOVIS’ consists in conceiving CCS in Barbados, Dominica, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint-Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago, in order to facilitate and to secure the exchanges while providing the region with a highly competitive port hub.
To allow the realisation of the project, CEIBA is implementing steering committees in each ACP partner island. The committees are made of representatives of Customs, Port authorities, Maritime companies, Warehousing agents, Forwarding agents, importers and exporters, carriers…
These Committees will be able to sign contracts of objectives for the setting up of the necessary studies and audits for the platforms analysis and planning. These committees will receive the audit and situational analysis results, and will validate, if necessary, the technical and procedural recommendations and the solutions.
Although Barbados, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, Saint-Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago are next to each other, from a geographical, cultural and historical point of view, the exchanges of goods and people endure heaviness and dysfunctions. The needs of facilitation and security in the region are felt in a strong way both from the French and the Caribbean customs.
As an integral part of the European Union, Guadeloupe and Martinique, must play an important role concerning exchanges and cooperation within the Caribbean Region.
The APE, although not being a mean of free exchange is a set of tools for the construction of the markets to put in consistency with the community instruments in favour of the development and cooperation.
Reliable and secured tools allowing the follow-up of exchanges, as well as providing real-time statistics and control procedures will be needed to implement the administrative and customs agreements, and the projects of free exchanges in the area.
The security initiatives of the American and European ports accelerated and systematized since September 11, will impose to all ports of the Caribbean for their exports and transhipment operations, the procedures permitting the anticipation of containers and contents, as well as their follow-up. Only the port communities structured around shared computerised systems will be able to answer these requirements of security and safety and will be able to maintain and reinforce their exchanges.

“La Caraïbe ne se laisse pas aisément cerner…
Dans sa délimitation même elle est déjà complexe. Mosaïque d’îles de tailles extrêmement diverses, l’archipel, compte 44 îles et 24 entités politiques.
Dans cet univers de terres fragmentées ce qui sépare est aussi ce qui relie.
Le transport maritime des marchandises est consubstantiel à la survie et au développement des économies insulaires.A la notion de cabotage, (étymologiquement « navigation de cap en cap ») se substitue la notion de transport par mer sur courte distance, ou Short Sea Shipping. Depuis plus d’une vingtaine d’années aux Etats-Unis, en Europe, au Canada, au Japon, en Asie, le Short Sea Shipping « continental » se définit comme un complément au transport transocéanique dont il n’est en rien le compétiteur et comme une alternative au transport des marchandises par routes et par rails.
Le projet BECCA (Bourse Electronique du Cabotage Caribéen), se pense en termes de réseaux interconnectés, organisés selon une logique de bassin, pour le développement du Short Sea Shipping caribéen au bénéfice de la communauté caribéenne à laquelle la Guadeloupe appartient historiquement et géographiquement. »

CLOVIS | Contexte et justification du projet
La Caraïbe, historiquement partagée entre des zones d’influence diverses, souffre d’une absence d’harmonisation des procédures permettant une circulation équitable des marchandises. (Problématique des conditions de pénétration des marchandises européennes dans la Caraïbe et de pénétration des marchandises tierces dans l’espace européen, définition des conditions des échanges dans la RUP) D’autre part les initiatives sécuritaires des ports des continents américains et européens accélérées et systématisées depuis le 11 septembre, imposeront à terme à tous les ports de la Caraïbe, pour leurs exportations, des procédures permettant le suivi anticipé des conteneurs et des contenus. Seules des communautés portuaires structurées autour de moyens informatiques partagés pourront répondre à ces impératifs de sécurité et de sûreté et seront à même de maintenir voire de renforcer leurs échanges. De plus les ports ainsi structurés pourront jouer chacun dans leur zone le rôle de hubs capables de dynamiser les échanges maritimes secondaires (lignes pérennes de cabotage).
