  • CMI Boss Bats For Trans-shipment Port, Logistics Hub
Sep 02, 2013

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Observer- EXECUTIVE Director of the Caribbean Maritime Institute (CMI) Dr Fritz Pinnock has plans to establish a trans-shipment port and logistics hub in Jamaica as the best business opportunities the country has ever seen.
He, however, urged the Government to devise a sustainable plan that would ensure that Jamaicans are trained to take on the specialised jobs the new business ventures will afford.

"It is one of our best and last greatest opportunity for this country," argued Dr Pinnock, who pointed out that existing facilities such as the Kingston Container Terminal is not conducive to supporting a globally competitive value-added logistics hub.
