Seasonal Shipping Alert – Plan Early, Ship Early

Seasonal Shipping Delays Expected Across Caribbean Ports – Customers Urged to Plan Ahead

 

As hurricane season intensifies across the Caribbean, Caribbean Cargo DC is issuing a proactive shipping advisory for all island destinations. Recent updates from Kingston, Jamaica’s port reveal significant congestion, with delays averaging over six days due to increased container traffic and weather-related disruptions. While Kingston is currently the most impacted, similar slowdowns are anticipated across other regional ports. These seasonal challenges may affect transit times, vessel availability, and cargo prioritization. We strongly encourage all customers to plan early and ship early. Booking shipments at least two months ahead of your usual schedule will help minimize disruptions and ensure timely delivery.

 

What You Can Expect:

• Delays at Kingston Port: Currently averaging 6+ days
• Regional Impact: Anticipated delays across other Caribbean destinations
• Cargo Routing Adjustments: May occur based on port conditions and weather advisories

 

Caribbean Cargo DC remains committed to transparency and customer care. We will continue to monitor conditions and provide timely updates to help you navigate this season with confidence.
