In years past (2008 to 2012) there were usually 25 ships in port unloading and a line of about 30 to 40 at anchor waiting for a berth to discharge. A total of about 50+/-<br />The last week there been only about 15 ships in port discharging and around 13 to 15 at anchor waiting, and way offshore near Bonaire there are another 4 or 5 outside Venezuelan waters. There are precious few ships compared to previous years which doesn't bode well for the supermarket shelves in the coming weeks/months.<br />Caracas CanadianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-74472631510009836622015-01-25T17:19:25.941+01:002015-01-25T17:19:25.941+01:00I actually think he's afraid to be in the coun...I actually think he's afraid to be in the country for fear someone is going to off him.<br /><br />It has now been days since the big speech and not one clarification of the exchange system has been announced.<br />What's the rate for the cupo electronica, the cupo for travel and the rate for foreign credit cards?? Did no one thinkl about these things before the speech?<br />Are they just getting around to figuring this out now?<br />Or are they so clueless and afraid that they don't have any plan at all?<br /><br />They talk about promoting tourism and yet a foreigner arriving in Venezuela today has no idea what the law is or the rules. Last year they announced that tourists could change dollars at the Sicad 2 rate but then never implemented the infrastructure to allow them to do so.<br /><br />In our business and many others we need to have a clear outline as to what the rules are. It's now Jan. 25 and NO ONE knows anything other than rumours. <br /><br />Once they finally do get their act together how long will it take the chain of supply to be reactivated?Island Canucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-7389366013089234592015-01-25T17:11:58.734+01:002015-01-25T17:11:58.734+01:00Maduro should pay for his sins with a long exile i...Maduro should pay for his sins with a long exile in Cuba, with the constant fear that the Cuban "doctors" will do him in at the least expected moment.<br />ConfuciousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
