Ship beef supply in Kingston, Jamaica

About the Port of Kingston

Kingston has one of the largest natural harbors in the region and a major container transshipment terminal.

Who orders beef in Kingston

Container, bulk and ro-ro ships usually provision for the next ocean passage. We quote in kg with IMPA codes so the order matches the master's requisition. Ship chandlers in Kingston can buy from us by the case or pallet for their own vessel orders.

How delivery works

We ship US beef to Caribbean ports in reefer containers on the regular services from Florida and the Gulf Coast, then deliver through local partner chandlers. Each island sets its own import rules. We ship with the USDA export certificate the destination requires. Guadeloupe, Martinique and Saint-Martin follow EU rules, so only EU-eligible beef from non-hormone-treated cattle can go there.

For Kingston, we ship in reefer containers ahead of the vessel's call. Our partner chandler delivers to the berth, or by launch to ships at anchor, with the temperature record for the whole trip.
