Jamaica stands to gain significantly from the countless opportunities, investments and economic prospects that are being created through the logistics sector.
The global industry was worth over US$5 trillion in 2015 and is projected to grow to US$15 trillion by 2023.
“If Jamaica can get one per cent of that pie, we will be in a much more advantageous position,” highlights Don Gittens manager of logistics and infrastructure at Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO), .

Gittens, in highlighting the business prospects that the logistics sector presents, said there is opportunity for the country to “seriously” tap into services such as ship chandlering and home porting.
“Ship chandlering is the provision of goods to ships when they come here, and currently, Jamaica has close to 4,000 ship calls per year; and on the cruise ship side, we have over seven cruise ships home porting in Jamaica; that is, the cruise starts and ends in Jamaica,” he noted.
