"I have been associated with Captain Chaim Shacham for more than fifteen (15) years, during which period he represented one of the larger ocean container carriers - as their Senior Vice President for Operations - which calls at the Kingston Container Terminal, the Transshipment Port in Kingston, Jamaica.
From time to time I have had the occasion of discussing with Captain Chaim Shacham, matters pertaining to the operations of the carrier he represented in Kingston, Jamaica. During the period of contact with him, he represented his company with professionalism and a strong knowledge of the commercial operation of his company and its objectives. I have found him to be extremely capable, understanding and ready to debate any point that he felt strongly about, but he did this with the greatest of respect and with the interest of his company foremost on his mind.
Captain Chaim Shacham is prudent, honest and devoted to his work and I believe that with these qualities he would be a tremendous asset to any organization. I therefore have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Captain Chaim Shacham to anyone in the Maritime/Shipping/Transportation Industry who may require his services."
