OCEANFREIGHT TRINIDAD LTD
Nutrimix Grain Terminals is the Caribbean’s largest independently owned grain receiving, storage and distribution facility. The technologically advanced, purposebuilt terminal has a capacity of over 50,000 tonnes and is capable of handling 20,000 tonnes per month.
Oceanfreight Trinidad Ltd has been serving the international and local shipping community for a quarter of a century. This underlines the strength and quality of the company’s service, which it continuously strives to improve, but especially so in an era of regional and global challenges.
Some 3,000 tonnes of grain and maize is held in the 12 silos, each 35 metres high, that punctuate the skyline at Point Lisas, in addition to covered flat storage. Wheat is milled by Nutrimix Flour Mills, a highly efficient plant managed by sophisticated computer technology that can process 450 tonnes of wheat per day. Meanwhile, parent company Nutrimix Feeds produces animal feedstock from maize, soya bean meal and a wheat by-product left over from the flour milling operation. The terminal is on a 1 hectare site within the Point Lisas Industrial Estate. Grain and maize are stored in a temperaturecontrolled environment where humidity and moisture are kept within strict parameters to maintain quality. Over the years, quality has become a key watchword for Nutrimix Grain Terminals Ltd.

Cargoes include all key trade commodities: crude oil, petrochemicals, cement, steel, lumber, paper and rice as well as heavy lift and industrial plant.
