The Port Authority of Jamaica (PAJ) is exploring the development of a new export port in St Thomas, part of its push to make Jamaica the go-to supplier of construction materials across the Caribbean — particularly Guyana, where oil wealth has triggered an unprecedented wave of infrastructure projects.
Chairman of the PAJ Alok Jain, who made the disclosure at the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Jamaica (ICAJ) annual business conference recently, said that plans are being assessed to establish additional ports across the island, with St Thomas among the proposed locations.
