Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago

Port of Port of Spain
At the base of the West Indian archipelago beats a strong and vibrant heart – Trinidad’s thriving Port of Port of Spain.  In 2004 the Port celebrated its 65th anniversary, and is now in the midst of a corporate programme that will forever alter the face of the Caribbean transshipment.

Geographically, the Port of Port of Spain is ideal for maritime traffic, providing a natural harbour on Trinidad’s north-western coasts where adverse weather conditions are extremely rare. These ideal conditions, augmented by a skilled and dedicated workforce, have enabled the Government of Trinidad & Tobago to implement an operational and marketing strategy that will enforce the Port of Port of Spain’s position as an economic hub for years to come.

• Public international cargo-handling facilities for containerised, break-bulk, Roll-on/Roll-off and dry/liquid bulk cargo at King’s Wharf and King’s Wharf Extension.
