    Taxing foreign ships suggested at Caribbean Maritime University

    The institution gained university status in 2017

    Applying a so-called blue tax to all foreign cruise lines and foreign shippers using Caribbean ports was suggested during a conference at the Caribbean Maritime University last week by Former Trinidad and Tobago minister Devant Maharaj. The funds would be allocated to Caricom's efforts to protect marine ecosystems from pollution.
