“Seeing our employees, while they all had their own personal and family hardships resulting from Irma, band together and work day and night to give a major contribution to ensure operations continued as soon as possible, is something I still feel proud of every day”, said owner Mr. George Pelgrim, Sint Maarten based entrepreneur, CEO and philanthropist.

George Pelgrim further added, “we made a commitment that all of our operations had to continue within days under makeshift conditions so that not one employee had to be laid off and all salaries were to be paid in full, despite both catastrophes."
9 months of hard work, reconstruction and upgrading resulted that today ICC Cargo is proud to announce that our new strategic state of the art Cargo Warehouse is now open for business and boasts 12 off-loading ramps within a entirely new 20,000 square ft area plus a brand new small parcels section.
Mr. Robert Heyer, Managing Director of ICC Cargo added, “First of all I would like to thank our employees and the Team Geo Design NV construction company whose work and relentless efforts and dedication have made it possible to overcome the challenges involved to achieve the impossible. We also wish to thank our principals Tropical Shipping, Carib Trans and their respective customers who have continuously worked together with our group of companies and kept their faith that our team would rebuild, restore and even better our services and facilities”.
