Overview

Jamaica’s logistics and infrastructure sectors are being hailed as driving sources for the country’s economic future.

While, we’ve always been focused on bolstering our rich transhipment history, the recent expansion of the Panama Canal has not only caused a paradigm shift in world maritime trade, but has also seen us benefiting from new and innovative commercial ventures.

In fact, we are actively and strategically planning to position ourselves as the fourth node in the international logistics chain, joining Rotterdam, Dubai and Singapore.
