A single main berth, a container yard and a warehouse define the modest cargo infrastructure of George Town, the principal port of Grand Cayman and the Cayman Islands' main freight lifeline. The container terminal handles roughly 39,000 TEU a year and runs close to capacity, taking container and general-cargo vessels of up to about 139 metres and 6,000 dwt in both Lo/Lo and Ro-Ro modes. Full customs and immigration services cover cargo and passenger traffic alike. George Town is also one of the Caribbean's busiest cruise calls, with ships anchoring offshore and passengers brought in by tender. Because draught and berth length are limited, much of the islands' cargo arrives as feeder traffic via hubs such as Kingston (Jamaica) or through Florida. For oversized or container-heavy consignments those gateways are the practical choice, while George Town secures day-to-day island supply.
