About Saint Vincent Grenadines Ports and Congestion
Kingstown Port, the country’s main logistics hub, has faced congestion particularly at the Grenadines Wharf due to disaster relief operations and increased ferry traffic. The post-storm recovery phase led to spikes in cargo movement and pedestrian flow. In response, the SVG Port Authority introduced short-term vehicle parking zones, expanded manual luggage support services (cart men), and coordinated with law enforcement to manage crowd control. Longer-term plans include digitizing customs clearance and improving passenger and cargo traffic segregation during peak arrival times.
