Port Committee. Telemaque also serves as Vice President of the International
Committee of Ports of the Organisation of American States.
“I will be addressing the issue surrounding Aviation and Maritime connectivity. I
have been asked to focus on the need for regional hubs. I will highlight, 1.
Characteristics of Hubs. 2. The role of hubs in creating greater efficiencies in
regional transport systems.3. How hubs create critical mass and I will then
highlight examples of regional aviation hubs as well as maritime hubs,” he told

regional transshipment hub for cargo destined for the OECS or the wider
Caribbean following the upgrade of the port facilities in St. John’s.
