The South International Port SA is eagerly awaiting the second compliance evaluation under the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code by the National Port Authority (APN) officials, as learned by Le Nouvelliste on Monday, January 8, 2024. "We are eagerly awaiting our second ISPS Code approval renewal after an inspection by the APN," revealed Ann Haugue, one of the authorized spokespersons for this company.

"We have designated offices for the APN, Customs, SEMANAH, and the quarantine team for years. We believe that the government has every interest in allowing Port St. Louis to engage in foreign trade, although some private interests may feel inconvenienced," wrote Ann Hague. "We are working in good faith with the government," shared Ann Haugue with the newspaper, highlighting the advantages of opening this port. It is no longer sustainable for the population to continue suffering the consequences of the blockade of Martissant and Mariani by armed gangs, said Ann Haugue, emphasizing that the South International Port, located in the southern peninsula, offers several advantages at a time when there is a 50% decrease in port traffic in Haiti due to insecurity. The South International Port is situated in a secure location, not far from significant trade flows.
