About Jamaica Ports and Congestion
Kingston Container Terminal is Jamaica’s primary international seaport, serving as a key transshipment hub for the Caribbean. Other ports, such as Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, handle mixed-use traffic including cruise vessels, domestic shipments, and bulk cargo. The efficient coordination of berth availability and marine traffic is crucial for both commercial and passenger operations. GoComet’s port congestion tracker provides real-time data on vessel queues, berth usage, and port traffic trends across Jamaican terminals. This enables shippers, port authorities, and logistics teams to manage schedules more effectively and benchmark congestion levels against nearby Caribbean ports.
