President and Chief Executive Officer of the Port Authority of Jamaica Noel Hylton, has indicated that the Falmouth cruise ship pier is fully booked for the rest of the year.
Hylton says that since the port started receiving calls some six weeks ago, some 30,000 passengers have arrived at the terminal.
He adds that the port has received several mega vessels such as ‘Voyager of the Seas’ and ‘Freedom of the Seas’.
The Falmouth Cruise Ship Pier is slated to be officially opened on March 22, and will receive the maiden call to port of the world’s largest cruise ship, the ‘Oasis of the Seas’, with 6,000 passengers and some 2,000 crew members.
The President and CEO of the Port Authority has addressed concerns about the impact of the new terminal on the ports at Montego Bay in St. James and Ocho Rios in St. Ann.
Hylton points out that because of its strategic location, the Falmouth port has the potential to enhance economic life in Ocho Rios and Montego Bay, as it will allow cruise passengers to easily access attractions in these resort areas.
He has also sought to assure that Ocho Rios and Montego Bay will not be neglected noting that as soon as the facilities at Falmouth are completed, attention will be turned to reorganising the Ocho Rios and Montego Bay ports.
