Jamaica is the Caribbean’s leading centre of maritime trade. One of the main reasons for this enviable status is geographical. We are an island economy, blessed with a natural harbour of world-class dimensions and located only an hour’s sailing time from the principal north-south and east-west shipping routes.
Over the years we have worked hard to build on these natural advantages. We have achieved success through an enlightened approach to management combined with a profound knowledge of the maritime sector that is part of our seafaring heritage.
Since it was established in 1972, the Port Authority of Jamaica has presided over a period of strong and steady growth at Kingston and the main outports. The principal engine for this growth has, of course, been the container business.
Many of the world’s leading container lines have chosen Kingston as their Caribbean hub – and the reasons are not hard to find. In addi-tion to our excellent geographical location, we offer top quality handling services, a first-rate support network and a highly professional shipping community with a history of good industrial relations.
TRANSHIPMENT
Transhipment of containers is our number one activity. More and more shippers have come to appreciate the outstanding advantages of Kingston for transhipment of cargo worldwide. The annual capacity of Kingston Container Terminal has more than doubled, from 1.5 million to 3.2 million teu, as a result of the ongoing development programme in the port.

Meanwhile, Jamaica’s four large free zones are continuing to play a key role in generating busi-ness and drawing in new investment. A major advantage of these free zones is their strategic location, with two in Kingston and two others in Montego Bay and Portmore.
Our cruise sector has gone from strength to strength, with over 400 ship calls each year, bringing more than 1 million visitors. We provide excellent facilities for cruise ships and their passengers in the beautiful north coast ports of Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Port Antonio, while the recently expanded Errol Flynn Marina in Port Antonio is a perfect haven for leisure boats up to super yacht size.
Plans are already in place to upgrade our existing facilities and provide more landside and waterside facilities to accommodate the latest ‘mega’ cruise ships in even greater numbers.
This handbook is intended to give you a snap-shot of where we are today and where we aim to be in the years ahead.
Welcome to Jamaica!

INTRODUCTION
Jamaica’s ports poised for growth
5
Jamaica is one of the leading players in the Caribbean maritime sector. Through prudent investment and development over the past few decades, this island nation has built up an enviable range of facilities and infrastructure. Today, it is regarded as the container transhipment centre of the Caribbean as well as one of the best cruise destinations in the world.
• Leading transhipment centre in the Caribbean
• World-class, award winning cruise destination
• Super yacht marinas with all facilities
• Range of free zones across the island
• Extensive container handling facilities
• Developing sector in logistics and distribution
• Excellent geographic location
• Wide range of mainline and feeder shipping lines
• Ongoing investment to expand capacity
Jamaica’s success in the maritime sector has not happened by chance. It has come about through judicious management, planned expansion and careful investment. Today, this island nation is a beacon of industry and maritime trade in the centre of the wider Caribbean region.
Location has been a key part of this success. With major shipping lanes just a few miles off its coast, Jamaica lies equidistant from the shores of North America, Central America and South America and its ports have been quick to capitalise on this major advantage.
INVESTMENT
In 2009 the ports of Jamaica received around 3,400 vessel calls, handled more than 25 million tonnes of cargo – including nearly 1.7 million teu – and welcomed just over 920,000 cruise passengers.
The Port Authority of Jamaica runs most of the country’s ports. It owns Kingston Container Terminal, the Port of Montego Bay and the
INTRODUCTION 7
cruise pier at Ocho Rios and also plays a major role in encouraging inward investment and directing the maritime industry of the nation.
The main centre of activity is the Port of Kingston. Located in the world’s seventh-largest natural harbour, Kingston offers world-class facilities for handling and transhipment of containers and many other types of cargo. Kingston Container Terminal is dedicated to container traffic, while its near neighbour, Kingston Wharves Ltd, is a multipurpose terminal. In addition, there are so-called suffer-ance wharves owned by private companies handling a range of specific cargoes.
The smaller ports of Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Port Antonio are located on Jamaica’s north coast. While Ocho Rios and Port Antonio handle only cruise ships and mega yachts, Montego Bay is a multipurpose port. It deals with containers and general cargo as well being one of the country’s main cruise ports. Montego Bay is also being used increasingly by some cruise lines for home porting.
Jamaica’s cruise industry has gone from strength to strength, not least because the island is a place of natural beauty, but also because it is constantly upgrading its facilities and infrastructure to meet modern demands. The ports of Jamaica welcomed 333 cruise ships in 2009.
Having won the ‘world’s leading cruise destina-tion’ award in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the island has embarked on a major programme of investment to bring a brand-new cruise port into operation.
However, the mainstay of the island’s maritime trade sector is container handling – especially transhipment. Jamaica is ideally located for container transhipment and has built an envi-able and award-winning reputation for its handling services.
From other ports on the island, alumina and bauxite are exported in huge volumes.
NEWERA
Changing economic trends have steered Jamaica’s maritime sector in a new direction at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. Having focused almost exclusively on devel-oping its transhipment sector over the past 40 years, Jamaica is now transforming itself into a logistics and distribution hub for the wider region.
Having identified the wasted potential of large numbers of containers departing Jamaica empty, the Port Authority has been looking at ways to
INTRODUCTION 9
exploit this. In the coming years there will be a concerted programme to develop and encourage value added processing, repackaging and logistics services at both on-port and off-port sites.
In addition, the island’s four free zones, oper-ated by the Port Authority, continue to thrive and provide work for over 6,000 people. Most are fully occupied.
FUTURE
All things considered, the maritime sector in Jamaica is thriving as its ports equip themselves to face changing trends and a new direction to help ensure the long-term prosperity of the island and its 2.5 million inhabitants.
The successful development and expansion of Jamaica’s maritime trade – and the Jamaican economy – are due in no small part to the professionalism of the Port Authority of Jamaica. For over 35 years it has played a key role in steering development and attracting investment and is now at the centre of ambitious plans to further extend the island’s maritime services and trade.
Steering a successful course

PORT
AU
THO
RITY
As one of the leading ports in the Caribbean, the status of Jamaica is due in great part to the efforts of the Port Authority of Jamaica (PAJ). Since it was established more than 35 years ago, the PAJ has shown a commitment to capital investment and a willingness to embrace new ideas that have made Jamaica stand out from the crowd and transformed it into a maritime hub.
The PAJ is a statutory corporation established by the Port Authority Act of 1972. It is the principal maritime agency responsible for the regulation and development of Jamaica’s port and shipping industry. The Port Authority is responsible for the safety of all vessels navi-gating the ports of entry and for regulating the tariffs charged on goods passing through the public wharves.
It owns the following ports and terminals:
• Kingston Container Terminal
• Port of Montego Bay
• Cruise ship terminals at Ocho Rios, Montego Bay and the Ken Wright Pier in Port Antonio
• Boundbroof Wharf, Port Antonio.
A president and chief executive officer are supported by five senior vice-presidents. They report to a board of directors comprising not more than 10 members appointed by the Minister of Transport & Works.
The Port Authority consists of the following divisions:
• Finance and Information Services
• Engineering and Port Development
• Business Management and Special Projects
• International Marketing, Cruise Shipping and Marina Services and Public Relations
• Legal, Regulatory and Corporate Affairs.
PORTAUTHORITY
• Mission: To develop and regulate the world-class facilities and services that ensure the sustainable growth of Jamaica’s maritime industry and maximum satisfaction of all stakeholders.
• Vision: To be the western hemisphere’s beacon of maritime excellence.
11
Two sections – Group Internal Audit and Human Resources & Administration – provide services for the rest of the Port Authority.
RESPONSIbLE
Within the Engineering and Port Development Division, the Port Authority operates the Harbours and Port Services Department and the Pilotage Department. Headed by the Harbour Master, the Harbour Division is responsible for safe navigation of vessels through the deploy-ment and maintenance of navigation aids.
Every ship navigating within the harbour limits of Jamaica’s ports must have a licensed marine pilot on board. Pilots are provided by the Pilotage Department.

CARgOHANDLINgINJAMAICAFor more than 30 years Jamaica has built an enviable reputation for first-rate container services through the operation of Kingston Container Terminal. Now, with an expanded capacity of 3.2 million teu per year, KCT is embarking on a new phase – part of a new logistics and distribution centre that will shape the future direction of Jamaica’s transport industry for many years to come.
An ideal location on all major trade routes through the Caribbean, combined with well equipped and expertly managed terminals, has enabled Jamaica to become one of the leading transhipment centres in the wider region. A fine reputation for speedy, efficient container handling has won the Port of Kingston many awards over the years. This, with the backing of its experienced community of maritime service companies, has made Jamaica the perfect place for transhipment in the Caribbean.

RgO
The Port of Kingston has made its name in transhipment of containers. Following the construction of Port Bustamante in 1966, and the later decision to focus one area of opera-tions on container handling, the port has gone from strength to strength. Over the years it has won many awards for its top quality services.
Jamaica handled over 1.9 million teu in 2008 as well as some 1,270 transhipment container-ships.
The principal facility is Kingston Container Terminal. Currently operated by the Port Authority of Jamaica, this facility is one of the largest in the region. Following a recent expan-sion programme it now has an annual capacity of some 3.2 million teu.
Alongside KCT is Kingston Wharves Ltd (KWL), one of the first companies to take up residence in the port complex back in the 1960s. KWL has put its experience to good use. Today it offers a range of specialist cargo handling facilities including container services. Its quays also handle large volumes of domestic cargo as well as dealing with smaller feeder vessels serving other islands.
On the north coast of Jamaica, containers are handled at the Port of Montego Bay, which has 1.2 hectares of yard space for container storage and a 1,858 square metre warehouse.
ADVANTAgES
For several years the Port of Kingston has been placed high among Container Management’s World Top 100 Container Ports and in 2008 it was ranked 55th.
LOCATION
• Served by most major shipping lines
• Easy access to North and South America and the Panama Canal
• Good choice of deepwater terminals
• Extensive range of shoreside equipment
• Facilities expanded to receive new larger vessels
• Handling nearly 2 million teu each year
• Annual total of over 1,200 containership calls
• Largest vessels in service can berth with ease
• Wide range of top quality service providers
15
Kingston is located on the east-west shipping lanes between the Panama Canal, the United States east coast and Europe, as well as on the north-south shipping lanes between Central America and South America. This makes it an ideal centre for container transhipment.
In addition, thanks to new berths at Kingston Container Terminal, the port can handle the largest vessels in operation. This is likely to be a key factor once the Panama Canal expansion has been completed, since few other ports in the region have this capacity.
The terminals of Kingston offer huge areas for handling and storage of containers along with a comprehensive range of cranes and other handling equipment. Off-port areas are available, too, for distribution, processing and storage and there will be a strong emphasis on developing this sector in the years ahead.
The expansion of KCT is a critical element in transforming the Port of Kingston from a regional into a global hub and in securing its long-term viability.
Kingston Container Terminal is a world-class complex using state-of-the-art cranes and handling equipment to deal with a rated annual throughput of some 3.2 million teu. Operating 24 hours a day, it is one of the Caribbean’s leading transhipment hubs.

The world-renowned transhipment facility of Kingston Container Terminal (KCT) has grown steadily – in terms of container throughput and support facilities – since it opened for business about 40 years ago.
KCT is the centrepiece of the Port Authority’s commercial activities and the main focus of its investment and development programmes.
Today it is a major transhipment hub for some of the world’s leading containership operators, playing a vital role in east-west and north-south trade across the region.
success
Location is the key to its success. Jamaica is one of the few countries in the world to be located on both major air and shipping routes. This makes it the ideal choice for a tranship-ment hub.
The new Western Berth, opened in July 2008, has added 475 metres to the combined berthing of the North and South terminals to offer a total of 2,310 metres of berthing.
KCT has a comprehensive range of equipment at its disposal including 19 ship-to-shore gantry cranes (with 14 super post-panamax cranes), 73 straddle carriers, 14 empty containers handlers, 1,392 reefer plugs and 130 hectares of paved storage.

Vessels can berth at one of three terminals at KCT:
• North Terminal has 535 metres of berthing with 15.2 metres depth alongside and 50 hectares of yard space for containers.
• South Terminal – also know known as Gordon Cay – is the main focus for transhipment. It has 1,300 metres of berthing with 14.0 metres depth alongside and 41 hectares of yard space.
• West Terminal has 475 metres of berthing with 15.0 metres depth alongside and 65 hect-ares of yard space.
As a result of phases 1A and 1B of the Port Authority’s fifth expansion project at Kingston Container Terminal, the annual rated capacity of KCT has been boosted from 1.5 million to 3.2 million teu. This was in response to a long period of growth in container throughput. The extension was built by E.Phil & Søn, a leading Danish contractor.
Further plans are on the table to use land at Fort Augusta to boost the rated capacity of KCT to 5.2 million teu in the coming years.
Kingston Wharves Ltd is one of the Caribbean’s leading multipurpose terminals. It has nine deepwater berths – for ro-ro, lo-lo and container traffic as well as bulk and breakbulk cargo – and handles more than 13 million tonnes of imports and exports each year.

RGO
The vast majority of Jamaica’s imports and exports are handled by Kingston Wharves Ltd (KWL), a large multipurpose port facility located alongside Kingston Container Terminal (KCT) at Port Bustamante.
Operating 24 hours a day, all year round, KWL is a public wharf handling all kinds of cargo including significant volumes of containers. It also makes use of its neighbour KCT’s tran-shipment facilities for some of its domestic container traffic.
KWL operates Berths 1 to 9 in the Port of Kingston. A US$26.6 million expansion of Berths 8 and 9 was completed in 2008 to expand container handling and storage capacity by 50 per cent.
In addition to containers, KWL handles break-bulk cargo such as cement, lumber and steel as well as Jamaica’s entire traffic in vehicle imports. The terminal is an ideal hub for tran-shipment of vehicles to other islands in the region.
KWL is also widely used by Jamaica’s manu-facturers and producers to export their goods, both regionally and further afield.
KINGsTON WHARVes LTD
• Award-winning privately operated multipurpose terminal
• One of the Caribbean’s leading port facilities
• Container throughput of around 200,000 teu
• Around 800,000 tonnes of cargo handled
• 1,644 metres of continuous berthing with up to 13.0 metres depth
• Terminal area of 25 hectares including 30,000 square metres of covered warehousing and cold storage
• 53,000 square metres off-port storage for vehicles

19
A comprehensive range of handling equip-ment is available including three state-of-the-art Gottwald mobile harbour cranes with a maximum lifting capacity of 40 tonnes at 42.5 metres outreach, seven reach stackers and a fleet of fork-lift trucks and yard trailers.
sTeVeDORING
All stevedoring on the terminal is carried out by KWL. Other services include vanning and devanning of containers; cargo decon-solidation for Jamaicans living overseas and sending items home; and refrigerated storage though a subsidiary, Harbour Cold Stores Ltd. Another subsidiary, Security Administrators Ltd, partly owned by the Port Authority of Jamaica, provides security services in the ports of Kingston, Montego Bay and Port Antonio.
The activities of KWL are perfectly comple-mented by its next-door neighbour. Kingston Container Terminal provides KWL with a tran-shipment facility, while KWL assists KCT by handling smaller vessels when necessary.
The high standard of its operations has been recognised by ‘Containerisation International’, which ranked KWL as the Caribbean’s number one independently managed subregional hub.
One of Jamaica’s strongest selling points is its location at a crossroads of Caribbean shipping routes. Jamaica is also home to a wide range of ship agents and freight forwarders serving the many lines calling at its ports. It is this range of highly experienced service providers that has helped Jamaica to become a regional leader in port services.
Shipping centre in perfect location

FROM shipping lines to ship agents and from freight forwarders to logistics providers, the maritime community of Jamaica is geared to providing first-rate services. While most companies are based in Kingston, many also have offices in the island’s other main ports in order to provide on-the-spot services wherever they are needed.

As one of the Caribbean’s leading centres of maritime trade and cruise shipping, Jamaica treats security as a key issue. The safety and security of cargo and passengers is of paramount importance to the country’s port authority and terminal operators. State-of-the art security systems are in place to ensure the continuing fine reputation of the nation’s ports.
Security is top priority
22
cA
RGO
The regular maintenance and enhancement of security systems at all the country’s ports is a matter of top priority for the Port Authority of Jamaica.
The principal measure, of course, is the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS), first adopted in 2004, which is audited and updated regularly.
Security services in the ports of Kingston, Montego Bay and Port Antonio are provided by a specialist contractor, Security Administrators Ltd, a subsidiary of Kingston Wharves Ltd (KWL).
INVesTMeNT
Thanks to extensive investment in training and equipment, Jamaica’s ports are among the safest in the region, especially the high volume facilities of Kingston Container Terminal (KCT) and KWL.
In recent years the Port of Kingston has invested in Vehicle and Cargo Inspection Systems (VACIS) for container scanning, VACIS pallet scanners and X-ray scanners for high density cargoes such as refrigerated goods.
At KCT, access control procedures have been improved to ensure that only approved persons are allowed access. A full security review has also been carried out at Montego Bay including a revision of the Standard Operating Procedures for security personnel.
The Security Department of the Port Authority has training programmes in place to maintain high standards. These include:
secuRITy
• Ongoing security improvements in all ports
• Security officers undergo regular training
• Security equipment is upgraded constantly
• Programme to install nuclear material detection equipment
• Mega Ports initiative to enhance security at Kingston Container Terminal and Kingston Wharves Ltd
• Port Authority of Jamaica is fully compliant with the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code
• Improved systems for controlling port access
• Over US$100 million invested in security since 2001
23
• A programme for security officers sponsored by the Organization of American States (OAS) and carried out by the UK company Maritime Underwater Security Consultants (MUSC) has provided training for over 320 people from port facilities and organisations throughout Jamaica
• The United States Navy conducted an exten-sive training programme on port security in 2009 covering access control, port safety and security.
• Transport Canada, in collaboration with the Port Authority of Jamaica and the Maritime Authority of Jamaica, hosted a five-day Cruise Ship Security Workshop in December 2008
• Training of security screeners in trouble shooting and the repair of X-ray machines used in security checks.
MeGA pORTs
Jamaica is also taking part in the Mega Ports Initiative in order to enhance security at its two largest port facilities, KCT and KWL. This programme is designed to prevent terrorists from acquiring, smuggling and using nuclear materials in order to develop weapons and attack ports.
The first phase began in 2008 with the installa-tion of radiation detection equipment to iden-tify radioactive material in cargo containers as they move through the port facility.
In the second phase, a straddle carrier-type machine, fitted with radiation monitors, will be deployed at KCT.
Jamaica’s importance in the Caribbean maritime sector is underlined by the impressive statistics produced by its ports as well as by their diverse range of activities, which include the handling of containerised cargo, alumina, bauxite and petroleum products as well as cruise ships and their passengers.

busINess AND INDusTRy IN JAMAIcAJamaica’s location and status as a world-class tranship-ment centre lends itself perfectly to a range of value added activities such as light manufacturing and distri-bution services. Jamaica can boast four excellent free zones and a growing number of logistics and distribution companies to provide transportation of goods imported via the island’s container ports. There is also a wide range of industry and maritime organisations providing assistance and expertise across a range of sectors.

Jamaica has four strategically placed free zones offering first-rate opportunities for inward investors, with favourable conditions for activities such as manufacturing and packaging, all exempt from normal taxes and Customs requirements. These zones have a major role to play in developing the island’s economy.

Jamaica’s free zones offer generous incentives and opportunities for investment. These advan-tages, combined with the steady growth of the port sector, have produced some of the best duty-free industrial parks in the Caribbean
In addition, the strategic location of Jamaica on major trade routes has brought key benefits to those involved in importing materials and exporting finished products to markets around the world.
The island has four free zones, which are oper-ated by the Port Authority of Jamaica:
• Kingston Free Zone (KFZ) covers about 6 hectares and has standard modules, of 558 square metres each, suitable for manufacturing and warehousing. The zone has direct access to the Port of Kingston and lies within easy reach of Norman Manley International Airport. It was established in 1976 as a warehousing operation to support the transhipment opera-tions at the container terminal. Today, its main focus is on support services.
• Montego Bay Free Zone (MBFZ) was estab-lished in 1985 to build on the success of KFZ. The zone is used mainly for ICT activities and consists of office units, of 465 square metres, located on a 37 hectare estate. MBFZ is located close to Jamaica’s second-largest seaport and just 15 minutes from Donald Sangster International Airport. The zone is home to various clients serving companies in the United States. Activities range from data processing to software development.

• Portmore Infomatics Park (PIP) was created by the Port Authority in 2000 as a dedicated site for offshore investment opportunities in the ICT sector. The 5.5 hectare site is located in Portmore, one of Jamaica’s fastest growing communities, with a well educated, computer literate, English-speaking workforce. The park contains two-storey office modules of 4,654 square metres, one of which is used as a call centre.
• Jamaica International Free Zone (JIFZ), located alongside the Kingston Free Zone, is a joint venture between the Port Authority and ZIM Integrated Shipping Services. It represents the first site aimed at developing Jamaica’s distribution hub capabilities.
DeVeLOpMeNT
In addition, the Port Authority has embarked on further development of a Commercial Free Zone and Distribution Hub for the Americas next to Kingston Container Terminal. When complete, this zone will be used for vanning and devanning, repackaging, consolidation and forwarding as well as for manufacturing. The development of a logistics hub is seen as an ideal complement to the port’s container handling activities.
The free zones provide opportunities for goods to be manufactured, warehoused or pack-aged for export, all free of normal taxes and Customs requirements. Security, infrastructure and communications at all the zones are well up to international standards.
Jamaica is primarily a maritime trading hub. However, inland from the ports there are vast industrial areas for processing and light manufacturing of both imported and exported goods. These industries rely heavily on the island’s rapidly improving road infrastructure and its range of first-rate transport providers.

Jamaica is in a state of transition. For many years it has operated as the Caribbean region’s leading container and transhipment centre. Now, as it moves up a gear to accommodate world-class logistics and distribution centres, Jamaica is paving the way forward in a very real sense.
New roads, business parks and storage areas are being built throughout the island. Along with the expansion of Kingston Container Terminal, these will help the island’s maritime community to achieve an ambition to trans-form itself into the region’s number one hub for logistics and distribution.
Jamaica has led the way in providing quality services, and this new direction for the mari-time industry will be no different.
Through a combination of physical and techno-logical improvements, an aggressive approach to marketing and a focus on steadily improving efficiency and productivity, the Port of Kingston has maintained its position among the world’s top 100 container ports.
INVesTMeNT
With over 25,000 km of roads, Jamaica has one of the densest highway networks in the region.
In recent years, this vital infrastructure has been modernised and improved with new surfaces and new links to assist the rapid transfer of cargo between ports and processing centres.
Much of the industrial heartland of Jamaica and its processing centres are located inland,

so these new and improved roads will provide a vital link in the chain as the country endeav-ours to meet its targets.
Some of the new areas being developed are located alongside the port areas, especially the new logistics zone serving KCT.

Most of these projects are design and build, although project management contracts and BOT (build, operate and transfer) projects are also carried out.
The international image of Jamaica’s maritime sector has been enhanced by the range and quality of its maritime-related organisations as they strive for excellence in education, services, navigation and the implementation of rules and regulations.

The Shipping Association of Jamaica (SAJ) was established in 1939 as a registered trade union to manage the supply of labour at the Port of Kingston. Today, it plays an active role in helping Jamaica’s shipping industry to remain competitive and viable.
With offices in the Port of Kingston, the SAJ has a wide-ranging membership that embraces hauliers, NVOCCs, shipowners, ship agents, stevedoring companies, terminal operators and providers of business support services.
Its principal role is to maintain a pool of 220 skilled workers and to manage a labour recruiting centre from which stevedores are assigned daily routines.
subsIDIARIes
However, the SAJ is also involved in other areas. It is the sole owner of Port Computer Services Ltd, a subsidiary providing much of the port’s information technology (IT) support and infrastructure. It also provides anti-narcotic and contraband detection services through its Canine Division, the only legally sanctioned sniffer dog service in Jamaica.
The SAJ liaises closely with the government and the Port Authority to promote the ship-ping industry and plays a leading role in its continuing development.

MaJ
The Maritime Authority of Jamaica (MAJ) was established under the Shipping Act of 1998 to develop shipping and to ensure that maritime activities are conducted in line with national and international standards of safety, security and pollution prevention.
The MAJ has the following responsibilities:
• Administer the Jamaica Ship Registry
• Regulate the certification of seafarers
• Regulate the safety of shipping (both construction and navigation)
• Determine development policy for shipping
• Port and state flag inspection of ships in the interests of safety and pollution prevention
• Set standards for maritime training and safety
• Hold inquiries and examine shipwrecks and investigate allegations of incompetence and misconduct
Since its foundation, the MAJ has sought to streamline Jamaica’s maritime obligations and has thus enhanced its global reputation as a maritime state.
CMi
The Caribbean Maritime Institute (CMI) is the principal education centre of the Caribbean specialising in maritime education and training of seafarers. It was established in 1980 as a joint venture between the Jamaican and Norwegian governments.
Funded by the government, the Port Authority and the SAJ, as well as through course fees, the CMI employs 40 staff, many with naval and merchant marine experience. There are core courses for up to 120 full-time students, while part-time courses attract a further 600 students.
Through the work of the CMI, the maritime sector in Jamaica, as well as in the wider region, has benefited from a growing pool of expert knowledge. About 40 per cent of the college is made up of foreign students.
Jamaica is looking to capitalise on its leading position as a transhipment hub to increase its competitiveness and attractiveness by setting up a new intermodal transport and logistics centre.
Strategic vision for integrated logistics hub
34
inD
Ust
rY
Jamaica has developed a world-class tran-shipment hub that has become the envy of the region. The island is equipped to handle 3.2 million teu each year, including sizeable volumes of domestic traffic.
In a bold new move, Jamaica is repositioning itself to capitalise on these state-of-the-art facilities by developing a fully integrated inter-modal centre or linking air, road and sea trans-port services.
With the majority of westbound containers returning empty, Jamaica has embarked on a far-reaching strategy to address the imbalance by providing logistics and economic centre activities to generate more exports from its shores.
Kingston Container Terminal (KCT) will play a major role in the new logistics and distribution centre, which offers the following services and benefits:
• Breakdown and repackaging of cargo for onward distribution
• Light manufacturing and assembly of goods
• Cluster of integrated transport and logistics companies
• Intermodal transport services including air transport for time-sensitive and high-value goods
• Free zone and bonded warehousing
• Development of a distribution platform for regional, United States East Coast and international markets
logistiCs
• Established and world-leading transhipment facility
• Intermodal services fully integrated between land, air and sea transport
• International airport nearby for time-sensitive cargoes
• Expansion of Jamaica’s export base
• Boosting cargo throughput in Jamaica’s ports
• Underlining Jamaica’s status as a transhipment hub and increasing the range of services available
• Located next to Kingston Container Terminal
• Spin-offs include new jobs and a revival in manufacturing
• Central location on both air and sea routes
35
• Creating the right conditions for growth with a view to persuading major logistics and transport companies to set up regional head offices.
ZIM Consolidated Shipping has already embarked on a small-scale venture, on land next to KCT, that has proved very successful.
Phase 1 of the project will involve building a logistics centre at Tinsen Pen Domestic Airport, which virtually adjoins KCT. The airport will be relocated and the new centre will be absorbed into the operations of KCT. Phase 2 of the project will involve the development of a 3,000 acre multimodal logistics facility at the former Vernamfield Air Base site in Clarendon.
The combination of infrastructure and tech-nology improvements at KCT and Kingston Wharves Ltd, together with the resulting improvements in productivity and efficiency, has enabled the Port of Kingston to retain its position at No 55 among the world’s top 100 container ports. These factors will also serve KCT in good stead in its bid to attract further business as well as giving the logistics and distribution centre an excellent start.
As a logistics and distribution hub of growing importance, Jamaica has a natural ally in the many highly experienced transport and storage companies operating on the island. Importers and exporters have come to rely on the top quality range of services offered island-wide.
World class transport services
36
Good support services from transport and haulage companies are vital to the success of any logistics hub and Jamaica is exceptionally well served in this regard. With many years of experience in handling domestic and free zone containers in large volumes, the island’s operators are well placed to capture more of the market as the new logistics centres come into being.

Jamaica’s central location in the Caribbean and its proximity to home ports in southern Florida make it the ideal choice for cruise ship itineraries. A huge bonus is the sheer range of visitor attractions on offer to cruise passengers. The island has become a leading cruise destina-tion, recognised the world over for its beauty, culture and hospitality.
For the fourth consecutive year Jamaica has been voted the ‘World’s Leading Cruise Destination’, the ‘Caribbean’s Leading Cruise Destination’ and for the first time Ocho Rios was voted the ‘Caribbean’s Leading Cruise Port’ at the World Travel Awards by more than 160,000 travel professionals.
Two of Jamaica’s ports are equipped to handle the largest cruise ships in service, while the third offers facilities for ‘boutique’ ships and mega yachts.
Montego BaY
Located on Jamaica’s north-west coast, Montego Bay is the perfect destination for cruise passengers. A host of activities and attractions provide the perfect day off the ship. It is also the island’s second-largest port.
Montego Bay is managed by Port Handlers Ltd on behalf of the Port Authority of Jamaica.
There are three berths of 213 metres in length and two berths of 160 metres. Maximum depth alongside is 10.36 metres. The cruise terminal building covers 2,694 square metres and contains gift shops, snack bars, a telecom centre and many other facilities.

With three dedicated cruise ship berths total-ling 770.6 metres, Ocho Rios is the cruise capital of Jamaica. It is used entirely for port-of-call business.
The Turtle Bay Pier has two berths of 222 and 274.3 metres and is operated by the Port Authority. The James Bond Pier, which was featured in the movie Dr No, has one pier of 274.3 metres.
Ocho Rios is the most used of Jamaica’s cruise ports, handling 62 per cent of all cruise passen-gers visiting the island in 2008. Further invest-ment is planned here to expand facilities.
port antonio
The smallest of Jamaica’s three cruise ports, Port Antonio, has developed a niche market for ‘boutique’ cruise ships and super yachts. It has two berths. The main facility is the Ken Wright Cruise Ship Berth, 198 metres in length, while the Boundbrook Berth is 152 metres long.
Port Antonio is popular with mega yachts and has dedicated facilities at the Errol Flynn Marina for 32 yachts of up to 106 metres in length.
Although Jamaica is just one island in the Caribbean, its sheer natural diversity, together with its rich heritage of culture and history, means that the biggest problem for arriving passengers will be choosing what to see and do.

For most cruise passengers, the ports of Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Port Antonio offer plenty of opportunities for a fascinating and fun day ashore. However, for those who want to go further afield and experience a real Jamaican adventure, this island paradise has lots more to offer.
Crew members on shore leave are well catered for, too, with a wide range of bars, restaurants and shops in which to relax and pass the time.
Each of Jamaica’s well equipped cruise ports can offer a comprehensive choice of tours and excursions, with something to suit everyone.

Other options include the Blue Mountains Cycle Tour, excursions by 4x4 vehicle or raft, swimming with dolphins, a visit to Noël Coward’s home or a tour of the Green Grotto Caves.
Port Antonio is a quaint seaside town with an air of Caribbean romance. Against a back-drop of open sea and towering mountains, it offers a wealth of natural wonders such as the Blue Lagoon, the Rio Grande and two splendid waterfalls, Somerset Falls and Reach Falls. Other attractions include Boston Beach, Navi Island, the Nonsuch Caves and Athenry Gardens as well as history tours of the valleys.
Just 22 miles east of Montego Bay, the new cruise port of Falmouth – due for comple-tion in late 2010 – will offer visitors a colonial-style experience with a distinctly tropical flavour. Falmouth’s rich heritage will provide an impres-sive backdrop to the new terminal, which features a design based on the architectural and social history of the town. Most of the tours and excursions available at Montego Bay can be accessed from Falmouth, in addition to those already in close proximity to the town.
Jamaica’s central location – together with its well run airports offering connections to North and Central America and to Europe, its highly developed hotel and tourism sector and its wide range of support and transport services – make it a perfect choice for home porting of cruise ships.
First choice for home porting

CrU
ise
Home porting of cruise ships in Jamaica is growing in popularity as ship operators come to realise the many benefits of basing their vessels there.
This activity is currently focused on Montego Bay, in the north-east of the island, which already has facilities in place to handle vessel turnrounds involving large numbers of passengers.
Donald Sangster International Airport, just 3.1 km from the cruise berths, already has a wide choice of flights to North and Central America and Europe, with frequent connections to Florida.
relaXeD
Jamaica’s relaxed style, with easy entry require-ments and a minimum of formalities, helps to speed the flow of passengers to and through the cruise terminal.
Montego Bay is also the main tourist region of Jamaica, with a wide range of hotel and resort facilities nearby.
The Port Authority of Jamaica is focused on home porting opportunities in Montego Bay because it offers an idyllic starting point for cruise passengers in an ideal location at the heart of the Caribbean region.
The PAJ aims to cater for both home porting and port-of-call cruises, which benefit different areas of the island’s economy.
hoMe porting
• Montego Bay is fully equipped for home porting
• Port and cruise terminal facilities being expanded across Jamaica
• Major international airport 3.1 km from Port of Montego Bay serving over 30 destinations
• Good choice of hotels near the ports
• Sail-and-stay programmes already popular with passengers
• Wide range of experienced shipping agents and efficient husbandry services
• Ready access to cargo facilities for resupply
• High level of safety and security in all Jamaican ports
45
Plans are under way to expand both the marine and shoreside facilities at Montego Bay, while a second terminal building will be used exclu-sively for home porting operations.
In addition, the wealth of hotels and resorts in Montego Bay and surrounding area provides yet another advantage for home porting vessels. Passengers can add an island stay to their cruise for a ‘stay and sail’ combination, using Jamaica as a base.
Safety and security are given a high priority in Jamaica. Both cruise passengers and crew members visiting the island can rest assured that all ports meet internationally recognised standards thanks to close co-operation with United States authorities.
Vessel owners choosing the Jamaican flag can take advantage of discounts on initial or annual registration fees for home porting vessels.
Jamaica’s cruise sector is booming. This is apparent not just in the number of cruise ships and passengers visiting the island, but also in the high level of investment in major projects at the island’s cruise ports including upgraded facilities and a new pier at Falmouth.
Cruise growth sparks investment plans
46
CrU
ise
A steady rise in the number of cruise ships and passengers visiting Jamaica has prompted the Port Authority to invest heavily in new and upgraded facilities in all its cruise ports. In addi-tion, there are ambitious plans for a new cruise pier at Falmouth.
As the island’s principal cruise port, Ocho Rios received US$34 million of investment to upgrade its landside facilities. The aim was to comfortably accommodate the larger number of passengers coming ashore from each vessel as well as improving landside services such as Customs, shopping, security and transport. All this has greatly enhanced the visitor experi-ence.
ConstrUCtion
Plans have been drawn up for a major new facility at Falmouth, on the north coast, in a joint project between the Port Authority of Jamaica (PAJ) and Royal Caribbean Cruises International. A new cruise ship pier will be constructed to handle the next class of mega cruise ships. These vessels, the first of which, ‘Oasis of the Seas’, was launched in October 2009, have a complement of some 6,300 passengers and 2,600 crew.
The US$122 million project is seen as vital to maintain Jamaica’s reputation as the cruise capital of the Caribbean and to expand its cruise programme. The facility will include a finger pier with a berth on either side as well as extensive development of the waterfront and the town.
investMent
• Investment in new and upgraded facilities in most ports
• Upgrading of infrastructure in Montego Bay for home porting
• Major new cruise facilities under way in Falmouth
• Extensive landside developments along Falmouth coastline
• Landside facilities upgraded in Ocho Rios
• Reconfiguration and upgrading of berths in Montego Bay
• Investment to maintain Jamaica’s position as world’s leading cruise destination
• Improvements to Customs, shopping, security and overland transport services
47
This development will bring economic benefits to the town and parish of Falmouth, the cruise sector and the overall tourism industry of Jamaica. It will also complement the facilities in Montego Bay and Ocho Rios.
The PAJ has also been in discussion with Carnival Cruises about plans for a new cruise port facility at Port Royal.
Jamaica’s rapidly growing marine leisure market was given a huge boost in 2002 with the opening of a super yacht marina at Port Antonio to serve owners of very large yachts. Located in a beautiful harbour on the north-east coast, it offers a well sheltered position with deepwater access and first-rate facilities.

Port Antonio is blessed with an exquisite loca-tion. Once frequented by the American movie star Errol Flynn, who lived nearby, the harbour has a marina named after its famous former resident.
The Errol Flynn Marina has 32 stern-to fixed berths with a minimum depth of 30 ft to accommodate yachts up to 350 ft in length. It offers a full range of services including 24-hour security, Customs and Immigration services, electricity and fresh water, telephone and TV connections, pump-out facilities at each berth, shower and laundry, internet access and a swimming pool.
advanced
These facilities are an ideal complement to the Ken Wright Cruise Pier, further along the harbour, with its shopping complex and other facilities. The Errol Flynn Marina is owned by the Port Authority of Jamaica.
The marina’s haul-out, repair and yacht storage facility stands out as the most technically advanced of its kind in the central Caribbean. The 100 tonne capacity Travelift can handle yachts of nearly 100 ft in length and 220,000 lb. The lift slip accommodates yachts of up to 24 ft beam and 12 ft draught.
A submersible lift for use on the wide launching ramp is now being considered so that the yard will be able to handle wide-beam catamarans of up to 36 ft beam in the near future. A crane is currently used for hauling vessels with an extra-wide beam.

The under-water services further include zinc replacement, bearing removal and replacement, shaft straightening and propeller repairs. Seacock and folding propeller servicing is also available.
Located next to the Travelift slip is a modern 100 ft fuelling jetty with high-speed and conventional dispensing pumps. Both gasoline and low sulphur diesel fuels are available.
A key advantage for users of the shipyard and marina is that it has been designated a duty-free and tax-free zone, thus allowing spare parts and supplies to be imported at economical rates. Berth holders and visitors will be reassured to know that Portland Parish, where Port Antonio is located, enjoys one of the lowest crime rates in the Caribbean.
With its natural wonders, exquisite beaches and wide variety of land excursions, Port Antonio is a perfect destination for yachts. For those in search of adventure, romance or just an opportunity to unwind, Port Antonio is not far short of Utopia.
