New Rules for Yachts in CARICOM<br />
Yachts traveling from country to country within much of the English-speaking<br />
Eastern <strong>Caribbean</strong> are looking at more paperwork.<br />
Legislation has been passed which requires all air and sea carriers to submit passenger<br />
information in advance when arriving at, and departing from, each of ten<br />
<strong>Caribbean</strong> Common Market (CARICOM) member states. Participating CARICOM<br />
member states are Jamaica, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Kitts & Nevis, Dominica,<br />
Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Grenada, Trinidad & Tobago and<br />
Guyana. These countries are collectively known as a “Single Domestic Space” (SDS).<br />
<strong>Compass</strong> is informed that the term “sea carriers” includes both private and<br />
charter yachts.<br />
To comply with the new regulation, you fill out a form (available by registering at<br />
www.caricomeapis.org) which asks for information such as passengers’ names,<br />
nationalities and passport numbers, and the vessel’s dates and times of departure<br />
and arrival.<br />
There are three ways the form can be submitted:<br />
• By sending as an e-mail attachment to maritime@impacsjrcc.org<br />
• By filling it in on-line<br />
• By faxing it to (246) 228-4040.<br />
When arriving in the SDS from a port outside of the SDS, the form must be submitted<br />
no later than 24 hours before arrival.<br />
When departing from the SDS to a port outside of the SDS, the form must be submitted<br />
no later than 15 minutes after departure.<br />
When traveling between countries within the SDS, the form must be submitted no<br />
later than one hour before departure.<br />
For more information contact Diane Hazzard at (246) 429-7931 or<br />

The Dean Report<br />
Hurricane Dean swept through the channel between the islands of St. Lucia and<br />
Martinique on August 17th as a Category 2 storm. According to the US National<br />
Hurricane Center, at 5:00AM local time the center of Hurricane Dean was located<br />
near latitude 14.3 north, longitude 60.9 west. Maximum sustained winds were near<br />
87 knots with higher gusts.<br />
—Continued on next page<br />
Usually unruffled, the sea off Tapion Point on St. Lucia’s northwest coast was<br />
whipped into breakers by hurricane-force winds extending some 25 miles from<br />
Hurricane Dean’s eye<br />
We are fortunate to have such<br />
a guaranteed excellent read<br />
