Mere hours after Ramps Logistics Guyana made a public call for the Local Content Secretariat to provide justifications for its denial of the company’s application to access the local content register, confidential information between the company and the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) was leaked to the press.
According to the leaked information, Ramps Logistics – a 49% Trinidadian-owned company – was fined $20 million by GRA for allegedly contravening the Customs Act by a failing to report the departure of a motor vessel, Seacor Mixteca, for which it is the agent.
In addition, the company was asked to show cause why its customs brokerage licence should not be suspended.
