Tropical Shipping (BVI) - the Melges 32 Class Association

Kestrel Global Logistics thanks you for considering our integrated service to the Virgin Islands Venues forthe 2013 VISS.As an owner and partner of the business I wish to give you a little bit of our background and philosophy. Weare not experts in skippering a world class racing boat but we are definitely experts in shipping! Over my 35year career based in the Caribbean, specifically the Virgin Islands (as a regional manager for TropicalShipping), I have been involved in hundreds of complicated logistics projects and situations including therecovery from Hurricane Hugo in the VI in 1989.What my 35 years of experience has taught me can be summarized in one sentence:"If it is not one thing…. It's another"Our presentation is graphic because pictures speak volumes of words. As precise as we can outline the plan;something will always not fall in to place somewhere along the line. So we have contingencies andredundancies in place, primarily we are offering a fixed schedule to and from the islands twice a week.Most importantly my team and I in the USA and OMS in the BVI are available to your team 24/7.We can attend not only to the American teams but any other team coming from Europe with our network.Kestrel treats logistics three dimensionally; it's not just a straight line because there are so many factors tobe considered. We've covered them all because we've been there and done that, time and time again.Please feel free to contact me for any additional information.I wish you all the best of success and hope the VISS series will be on your annual calendar. You will love theislands!Sincerely,Steven KeatsKestrel Global LogisticsCell: +1.954.328.9719skeats@kestrel.com
