A 380-metre sheet-pile quay wall, a new container yard, vehicle and break-bulk storage and a customs-equipped container freight station are taking shape under a roughly US$170 million modernisation of Kingstown, the principal port of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Operated by the national Port Authority, it handles containers, RoRo cargo, general and bulk freight while also serving inter-island ferries and cruise calls. A cargo-pier depth of around 11 m suits the feeder vessels that connect the islands to regional transhipment hubs. Hinterland distribution relies entirely on the road network, as the island has no railways. Customs clearance for the country's imports and exports is concentrated here. Forwarders needing larger gateway capacity or transhipment typically route via Port of Spain in Trinidad or Bridgetown in Barbados.
