Jamaica poised to become region’s top cruise destination

Thu Feb 09 08:56:45 CET 2017 arnekiel

ST JAMES, Jamaica (JIS) — Minister of Tourism, Edmund Bartlett, says Jamaica’s hosting of the six largest ships in the world is proof that the island is poised to become the region’s number one cruise destination. Bartlett, who recently returned from a five-day trip to Nassau, Bahamas, where he attended an important meeting of the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s (CTO) Council of Tourism Ministers and Commissioners, said having the world’s largest cruise vessels simultaneously calling on a single destination is a rarity and something of which Jamaicans should be proud. “This speaks of the unwavering support the cruise lines have for Jamaica and our tourism product,” he said. “We have to remember that we are in a very competitive region where these ships can go anywhere. There is nothing in the rule book that says they have to come to Jamaica. The fact that we have these large and expensive mega liners calling at our ports should tell us that we have come a long way and should continue to build on our tourism offerings,” he noted further. http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/Jamaica-poised-to-become-region-s-top-cruise-destination---Bartlett

US company to spend more than $200m to construct LNG terminal in Jamaica

Sun Nov 15 20:14:52 CET 2015 arnekiel

American company, New Fortress Energy LLC, will invest more than $200 million to construct a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal in Jamaica. The facility is expected to generate more than 200,000 metric tonnes of LNG annually, which will initially be supplied to the domestic market. There are also plans to expand output for delivery to other Caribbean countries, thereby positioning Jamaica as a regional hub for the supply of LNG. New Fortress was selected from a list of six entities which submitted bids to supply LNG to power the national energy grid, primarily through the Jamaica Public Service (JPS) Old Harbour 190-megawatt gas fired power plant. Chairman of the Electricity Sector Enterprise Team (ESET) Dr Vincent Lawrence noted that New Fortress was chosen as the developer of Jamaica’s LNG project, as the entity was the most competitive for JPS’ requirements. “New Fortress was not only the lowest evaluated price for the volumes required by JPS, it clearly demonstrated its commitment and capability to supply gas as scheduled by the detailed engineering studies they had undertaken,” he said. Lawrence said the terminal, which is to be built, owned and operated by New Fortress, is expected to be completed for commissioning by 2017/2018.

Falmouth Set for Expansion

The new Falmouth cruise terminal in Jamaica is already set for an expansion according to the Jamaica Observer, as more megaships take over the Caribbean market and Jamaica remains a key destination close to Florida. Current berths are said to be designed for 6,000- and 4,000-passenger vessels, with the latter berth set to be expanded to handle bigger (Oasis-class) ships.
