Surge in Cargo Volumes and Geopolitical Tensions Affecting Kingston Port

Dear Valued Customers,

We hope this message finds you well. We want to inform you about recent developments at the Kingston Port that may impact our shipping schedules and delivery times.

According to a recent report by the Jamaica Gleaner, the Kingston Port is currently experiencing significant congestion due to a surge in cargo volumes and ongoing geopolitical tensions. The Port Authority of Jamaica has noted that cargo volumes have increased by over 50% compared to pre-COVID-19 levels, leading to delays in processing and longer wait times for vessels.

To address these challenges, the Port Authority has extended terminal operating hours and introduced additional container pickup slots. However, disruptions in mainliner service schedules and increased container dwell times continue to affect the overall efficiency of the port.

At Caribbean Cargo DC, we are closely monitoring the situation and working diligently to minimize any potential impact on our services. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time. Please feel free to contact our customer service team for any specific inquiries or concerns. To learn more, CLICK HERECLICK HERE to read the original article on Jamaica Gleaner.

Thank you for your continued support.
