Kingston Container Terminal Services Limited

In fueling Jamaica’s thrust to attract increased transshipment cargo to the Port of Kingston, the Kingston Container Terminal Services Limited (KCT) was established in 1975 as a transshipment hub for the growing use of containerized cargo and the demand for a container hub. The KCT has since grown to become one of the leading container terminals in the region, boasting consistently high-performances in yard and berth productivity.

The company offers modern warehousing and logistics facilities at locations immediately adjacent to the main transshipment terminals for a planned throughput capacity of 3.2 million TEU’s in the next five years. On 7 April 2015, the PAJ signed a 30 years Concession Agreement with shipping giants CMA CGM  to finance, expand, operate and maintain the Kingston Container Terminal. This concession supports Jamaica’s efforts to become a global leader in transshipment and global logistics hubs.  The project envisages integrating these facilities to form a port centric logistics cluster, that will be a Special Economic Zone to allow cargo to move efficiently in a secure, controlled, sterile environment.
