The Co-operative Republic of Guyana has received financing from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and intends to apply part of the proceeds to payments under the project Guyana - Brazil Land Transport Link and Deep Water Port, for a Market study which will determine the size and value of the shipping markets in the Amazonas, Para and Roraima so as to ascertain the degree of trade that could be diverted to a port in Guyana, as well as, new commodities that could be traded between these Brazilian states and Guyana. The demand for land transportation between Guyana and northern Brazil will also be examined, given the scenario that a suitable port(s) is available on the coast of Guyana which could accommodate the shipping needs associated with the expected demand. The study would assess the current and future (growth) transportation and market demand in the Amazonia/Roraima states of Brazil and also current options and cost available, considering the ports in Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana. A key element of the Market Study would be consultation with the shipping stakeholders in Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana to ascertain the relationships they have with shipping lines and to understand the industry dynamics..
