Kingston Wharves Limited (KWL) is setting up a pre-delivery inspection facility at Tinson Pen in Kingston, with the aim of taking over the inspection service for used car imports.
The Jamaican Government mandated that pre-owned vehicles must undergo inspection prior to entering Jamaica's ports, a service currently contracted to a Japanese company.
Since implementation of the pre-shipment inspections in February, the time and cost for the importation of used motor vehicles have increased, said Chief Executive Officer Grantley Stephenson, while noting that KWL proposes to offer the service at a lower cost to importers.
"We are working with the Government to see if we can bring this pre-inspection to Jamaica to serve the entire Caribbean area and that will be one of our areas of focus for the remainder of this year," Stephenson said Thursday.
