D.S. Belcon Ltd turns 25 this year. It is an incredible milestone, our 25th anniversary is a celebration of D.S. Belcon\u2019s legacy, its long journey, who we are today, and our exciting future ahead.<\/p>

Celebrating the Past<\/b><\/p>

My career in the Shipping Industry commenced in 1991, working as an Operations\/Boarding Clerk at a local shipping agency. There I was directly involved in boarding\/clearing vessels, and supervising the offloading of containers, general cargo, and passengers\u2019 vessels at the ports of Port of Spain and Point Lisas. | worked my way up the corporate ladder, and within 4 years, I was responsible for port operations and the training of Operations\/Apprentice Boarding Clerks.<\/p>

In 1998, I established Mercadoria Worldwide Limited, where I held the title of Founder\/CEO. Over the years I successfully managed Mercadoria, nurturing it from a small to medium-sized company, with a focus mainly on the Energy Sector offering Port handling and Immigration Consultant services.<\/p>

In 2007, I established Mercadoria World-wide Texas in Houston, Texas USA where we offer freight forwarding services and immigration services to companies with expatriates working in Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>

In 2015, Mercadoria Worldwide Limited was rebranded and the company\u2019s name was changed to D.S. Belcon Limited, offering the same services. D.S. Belcon Limited\u2019s focus is to make a difference in the shipping and logistics sectors by not only providing efficient and cost-effective services tailored to customers\u2019 needs but also maintaining the highest level of integrity and professionalism.<\/p>

In 2018, I partnered with two business associates to establish Lall Belcon (Guyana) Inc., focusing mainly on the Energy Sector offering Port Handling, Customs Brokerage, and Immigration Consultant services to primary companies in Guyana\u2019s Oil and Gas Sector.<\/p>

In 2022, D.S. Belcon (Suriname) NV was established to provide Port Agency and Logistics Services to the Surinamese Oil and Gas Industry.<\/p>

There are lessons to be learned from the past and I think for D.S. Belcon it comes down to two things. First, dream big! I had big dreams when I started this company. My team and I made our dreams come true by turning them into goals and actionable strategies. What we\u2019ve achieved is far beyond our wildest dreams at the beginning of this journey. Second, believe in your dreams passionately, show resilience from your mistakes, and get back up when knocked down: the power of passion and perseverance!<\/p>

We strengthened our business through organic growth and strategic alliances, building a unique customer base in this region. We began with a humble background and now we are a premier service provider to the Oil and Gas industry.<\/p>

It\u2019s about the People<\/b><\/p>

To our employees: I am grateful for the opportunity to work with talented, dedicated, and passionate people every day. Your commitment to putting our customers first and living our corporate values has been integral to D.S. Belcon\u2019s progress and success.<\/p>

Thank you for the valuable hard work you put in each day! Your efforts enable us to meet targets and achieve goals. With determination, we will climb from peak to peak.<\/p>

To our clients: Thank you for trusting us for many years. Without you as a client, we would not be where we are today. We are honored to have your trust and will work tirelessly to continue to deserve it.<\/p>

To our partners: To be in business for 25 years, we recognize the importance of establishing collaborative partnerships that bring extraordinary value to both D.S. Belcon Ltd. and our clients. We thank our partners for their commitment, expertise, and skills in helping us serve and deliver 25 years of excellence.<\/p>

Shaping the Future<\/b><\/p>

This year, we are entering a new phase as a premier service provider, offering our fully integrated solutions across the region. We are creating new services, transforming our operations, improving customer experience, and continuing to deliver value to our customers.<\/p>

As D.S. Belcon celebrates its 25th anniversary, let\u2019s toast our employees, customers, and partners who have helped us along our journey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
