C&V SHIPPING was founded by two friends, Frankie
Camacho and Richard Van Sluytman. Frankie a bookkeeper with
most of his experience in the shipping industry coming from
his earlier years working as the Accountant and Wharf Manager
at the family business, M.P Camacho Ltd., which was started by
his Great Grandfather. He later ventured off on his own to
open Tyre Repair and Machinery Establishments, at the same
time operating a Shipping Agency out of a briefcase known as
Caribbean Shipping. Captain Richard was master of his very own
vessel, working in the family business Van Sluytman & Partners, started by his Grandfather and other relatives,
where he gained first hand knowledge of ship operations
He however found that this took
him away from his home for long periods, and like Frankie, he
too opened his own Metal Machining Operation. However, unable
to escape the marvels of the shipping business he found
himself operating a Shipping Agency out of a briefcase as
well, known as Van Sluytman Shipping.
In 1987, the inevitable
happened, a partnership was developed between Frankie and
Richard, consolidating their relative shipping agencies under
the name of Caribbean Shipping. In 1992 when they took on
their first major line, they became Registered
under C&V Caribbean Shipping Ltd.
With a combined total of 60
years experience in the Shipping Industry, it is no wonder
that these two businessmen have been able to develop C&V
Shipping Ltd into becoming one of the most recognised and
reputable Agencies in Guyana
