MSME Spotlight: Courtney Lange, Naval Architect, Tsunami Marine

Tsunami Marine is quite interesting as it’s the only Naval Architectural and Marine Surveying Company of its type in the Caribbean. We deal with the certification of anything that floats – boats, ships, mobile and fixed offshore structures – and we act on behalf of governments and oil and energy majors throughout the region. Our primary focus is ensuring the safety of the people that serve on board ships and offshore marine installations, as well as the protection of the marine environment from a legislative and international convention perspective.

MSME Spotlight: Navin Dookeran, CEO, EXIMBANK

The EXIMBANK is here to support exporters and increase the business sector’s ability to earn foreign exchange, which is much needed in our country. Sometimes people call us the manufacturers’ bank, but the key for us is that you are exporting or you have plans to export. We then try to support exporters to get into new markets and to be able to increase exports and foreign exchange earnings. We do this by providing financial resources, be it credit, trade finance, or even prioritizing foreign exchange allocations, which are sometimes tough to get through the normal banking sector, especially for Micro, Small and Medium sized Enterprises (MSMEs).
