Jamaica risks losing valuable shipping business to regional competitors as space constraints at Kingston Wharves Limited restrict the port operator’s ability to accommodate additional vessels and cargo.

Business Development Manager at Kingston Wharves Limited Alfred McDonald says the company is already constrained by insufficient space, at a time when it is seeking to significantly expand its vehicle transshipment business.

Kingston Wharves currently moves more than 150,000 car-equivalent units annually, but is targeting 500,000 units within the next four to five years.
McDonald warned that the shortage of space to park transshipment vehicles is limiting the company’s ability to capitalize on demand, with the constraint also affecting its container business.

Industry, Investment and Commerce Minister Aubyn Hill has backed calls for Jamaica to restore a cap on the public-sector wage bill as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), warning that operating without such a limit is unsustainable.

Hill weighed in on the issue at the sixth series of the PSOJ–IDB Group Empower JA Forum on Monday, weeks after Finance and the Public Service Minister Fayval Williams called for discussions on reintroducing a fiscal rule governing the size of the wage bill.
“If we don’t return the cap, the alternative is not manageable or sustainable,” Hill told the forum.
