Ports in the Caribbean are reportedly rushing to prepare for potential spin-offs from the expansion of the Panama Canal.
The Bahamas has said that its port is among those in Jamaica and Cuba, which are either expanding, or have plans to expand.
Some Caribbean port managers say they hope to receive “post-Panamax” ships and become a transhipment hub that will supply smaller ports with feeder vessels.
CANA reports that others say they are simply bracing for increased feeder traffic. “Panamax” is the term for the size limit of ships going through the Panama Canal.
