About Ocho Rios cruise pier
Ocho Rios is a cruise port on Jamaica's north coast.
Who orders beef in Ocho Rios
Cruise ships on Caribbean itineraries order Choice and Prime cuts for the dining rooms and crew-mess beef for the crew. Ship chandlers in Ocho Rios 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 Ocho Rios, 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.
