Kingston Wharves plans further expansion work

Mark Williams, CEO of Kingston Wharves Limited
 
Kingston Wharves Limited says it plans to do more expansion work at its facility located at the Port of Kingston.
 
The company's current US$60 million spend on upgrades includes the redevelopment of Berth 7, which was opened last week. 
 
CEO of KWL Mark Williams says further expansion plans should optimise the use of space, and will be done over the next five years. 
 
"The next phase of this terminal expansion will see us segmenting the terminal to be very well-organised and efficient. So, Berth 6-9 will be for container and Berth 1-5 will see us bustling multi-unit business, the bulk business, the break bulk, meaning the lumber, steel, we do edible oil, we do food."
 
He said the expansion will also allow for the accommodation of two to three large vessels simultaneously.
 
Kingston Wharves plans to invest a further US$120 million on these developments over the next two to five years.
