Trinidad and Tobago brings together the operations of two Alcoa businesses: Alcoa World Alumina and the Alcoa Steamship Company. Alcoa has operated a materials transfer station at Tembladora in Trinidad and Tobago for more than 60 years, using the country's strategic location to ship bauxite and alumina to destinations in North America and Europe.
Tembladora offers deep-water harbor facilities close to Alcoa's alumina operations in Suriname, which are located on a river too shallow for large ships. At the transfer station, shuttle ships from Suriname offload alumina for transfer to large vessels bound for customers in Baltimore, USA; Baie Comeau, Canada; and Mosjoen, Norway.
Tembladora began service in 1950, although the Alcoa Marine Department was operating in the country since 1941. Bauxite shipment was discontinued in 1983, focusing operations on alumina. Today, Tembladora employs 21 local people and loads out an average of 525,000 tons of alumina per year. In June 2003, Tembladora received ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Certification, making it one of only eight businesses in Trinidad and Tobago to achieve the environmental certification standard.
In 2004, we began exploring the possibility of building an aluminium smelter in Trinidad. Activity on this potential project was suspended in 2007 pending advice from the government of Trinidad and Tobago that a suitable site has been identified and developed.
