This FAL Bulletin is part of the reflections on infrastructure and connectivity that have been frequently addressed in documents of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). It contributes to the reflections under the project “Transport and Trade Connectivity in the Age of Pandemics: Contactless, Seamless and Collaborative UN Solutions”. This edition analyzes the possibility of implementing a ferry network in the Eastern Caribbean region through Public Private Partnerships (PPP's) to promote better and more fluid connectivity.This document was prepared by Diogo Aita, Associate Economic Affairs Officer of the Infrastructure Services Unit in the International Trade and Integration Division of ECLAC, based on the Project Document “Evaluación preliminar técnica, económica e institucional para la implementación de un servicio de ferris en el Caribe Oriental”, prepared by Eduardo Lugo, Alberto Undurraga, Ricardo J. Sánchez, and Jorge A. Lupano. This original study was developed within the framework of a technical assistance provided to the Association of Caribbean States (AEC-ACS).

The impact of the global 2008 crisis on the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) economies was significant and has lingered on until today. The main priority of OECS governments is to enable a resumption in growth in a more sustainable, inclusive and resilient manner. As an important source of employment and a key economic pillar, tourism plays a significant role in resuming growth in the region. This pre-feasibility assessment demonstrated that a regional ferry system could make a positive contribution to tourism competitiveness in the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), and that a proper feasibility assessment of a regional ferry is warranted. Demand for regional ferries is not new to the OECS, the region has had a regional ferry system in the past and there are a number of sub-regional or country-level ferry systems that are operational. In addition, there have been initial signs of interest from potential investors for financing a regional ferry. However, a lack of regional coordination as well as significant regulatory, infrastructural, and institutional challenges has affected the fate of many regional ferry proposals from potential investors. This paper serves as a background for a feasibility assessment of a regional ferry, providing evidence and preliminary data on the movement of people, cargo, prices of moving within the region and existing fleet of ferries. It assesses competitive effects of a regional ferry vis-a-vis the cruise industry and air travel. The study draws interesting lessons from two successful regional ferry systems: the Greek ferry system and the Baltic Sea ferry system. The assessment also provides a clear roadmap of next steps, and the criteria that should be looked at in a follow-up feasibility assessment."

This publication highlights how public–private partnerships (PPPs) can be effective to meet Asia's growing infrastructure needs. It shows how governments and their development partners can use PPPs to promote more inclusive and sustainable growth. The study finds that successful PPP projects are predicated on well-designed contracts, a stable economy, good governance and sound regulations, and a high level of institutional capacity to handle PPPs. It is the result of a collaboration between the Asian Development Bank, the Korea Development Institute, and other experts that supported the theme chapter "Sustaining Development through Public–Private Partnership" of the Asian Development Outlook 2017 Update.
