Security concerns when shipping to Barbados

The Barbados Maritime Ship Registry (BMSR) has done a great job of trying to get all the ships coming in and out of the country on file with their office.  This seems to have effected some change over the security of their ports in recent years, although there is still some thievery that does occur, both at the ports and on the waterways.  And there are some reports of thievery once the shipments get onto land in Barbados, but not nearly as much as one might think.  Regardless, it is a smart move to get some insurance out on your shipment when sending something to Barbados so that if you do fall victim to theft, you can at least get the monetary value back from it.
