- Delays are being experienced at one of Jamaica's main shipping ports. Kingston Freeport Terminal Limited says the vessel delays are a result of increased transhipment volumes from particular shipping lines, whose feedering network has not been able to keep up with the recent influx of containers.
- KFTL says only certain shipping lines have been affected, while others continue to operate smoothly. This comes at a time when businesses are looking to clear goods for the Christmas period. The situation has led to high congestion at its terminal despite efforts to keep the domestic market supply chain flowing efficiently.
- The company says it does not have the authority to determine the routing, frequency, or priorities of vessels but has maintained communication with the shipping lines, providing them with data to expedite a resolution of the issue.
