ABOUT JAMAICA
JAMAICA’S INFRASTRUCTURE FOR FOREIGN
DIRECT INVESTMENTS
Jamaica is advanced in modernising its port, air-
ports, roads, telecommunications, water supply
and sewerage infrastructure. Investment in in-
frastructure is an important priority in national
development, having regard to its impact on the
competitiveness in the economy. The island has
been a high performer in attracting foreign direct
investment over recent years particularly in the
area of tourism, and this performance has been
attributed to improvements in its infrastructure.
Jamaica has nine active ports. The Port of Kings-
ton is the largest, which at 21 square kilometres
of navigable water, is the seventh largest natural
harbour in the world. Located along the north/
south, east/west axis of the Caribbean, the port
is just 32 miles from the trade routes that pass
through the Panama Canal.
The Port of Kingston handles approximately 80%
of all imports. It includes a modern container ter-
minal, a large break-bulk wharf with roll-on/roll-
o facilities, an oil renery and dry bulk terminal.
The fully computerised terminal has 11 berths,
backed by 40 hectares of container yard space.
State of the art stevedoring equipment includes
seven rail-mounted 40-ton gantry cranes, 30
straddle carriers, yard chassis and hustlers,reefer
outlets and a freight station.
With stellar infrastructure, competitive rates and
a central location, the trans-shipment opportuni-
ties in Jamaica are limitless. Our easy accessibility
to the main shipping lanes that run through the
Panama Canal makes the Port of Kingston even
more attractive to international shipping compa-
nies. Over 30 shipping lines have operations in
Jamaica, covering all the major routes to the
North and South American continents, Europe
and the Far East.
Ò The natural harbour in Kingston is the 7th
largest in the worldÓ

ABOUT JAMAICA
AIR TRAVEL
Jamaica has two international airports, Norman Manley Interna-
tional Airport located in Kingston and the Sangster International
Airport in Montego Bay. Additionally, Jamaica facilitates domestic
air travel through four aerodromes namely, Tinson Pen (Kingston),
Ken Jones (Portland), Boscobel (St. Mary), and Negril (Westmore-
land).
The Norman Manley International Airport sits south of the Kings-
ton Harbour on 228 hectares (563 acres) of land. It has a runway
of 816 square metres (8,785 square feet) and is capable of accom-
modating aircrafts up to the size of the Boeing 747.
The Sangster International Airport runs along the northern strip
of the country, 3.2 km from downtown Montego Bay. It’s on ap-
proximately 235 hectares (580 acres) of land, with a runway of 809
square metres (8,700 square feet) and an associated parallel taxi-
way running the full length of the runway. The redevelopment of
the Sangster International Airport included the construction of a
new concourse and the upgrading of the existing one, which has
expanded the capacity of the airport to handle 9.5 million passen-
gers per annum – 3 times its previous size. It was completed in
August 2008. The airport handles the bulk of the traffic generated
by the tourism industry and now possesses the most modern pas-
senger facilities for shopping, immigration, customs and transport
services in the Caribbean region.
HIGHWAY 2000
HIGHWAY 2000 is the centre piece of a multi-year Millennium
Projects Programme initiated by the Government of Jamaica .
The main objective of these projects is to upgrade the country’s
infrastructure and assist in providing economic opportunities for
growth and the creation of jobs.
The highway is a four to six lane controlled-access, tolled motor-
way with fully grade separated interchanges and intersections
built according to modern international standards.

Demographics
The Municipality of Portmore is the English-
speaking Caribbean’s largest middle–income
dormitory community, and a strategic location
for Jamaica’s ICT development. With over 265,000
residents many of whom are tertiary educated;
Portmore offers a large certified workforce and
easy access to first-rate educational institutions.
Accessibility
Portmore is 10 minutes from the nation’s capi-
tal – Kingston and 25 minutes from the Norman
Manley International Airport with excellent road
connectivity and infrastructure for communica-
tion and utilities. It is connected by the Highway
2000 toll road as well as the Mandela Highway.
Portmore’s attractiveness has captured the atten-
tion of outsourcing industry heavy-weights such
as Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), and West
Corporation which facilitate the business process-
ing needs of Fortune 500 clients such as Delta Air-
lines, Xerox Corporation and Proctor and Gamble.
Jamaica’s world class telecommunications in-
frastructure extends to Portmore. The Fibralink
submarine cable network provides enhanced de-
livery of business and broadband traffic. Jamaica
is linked to the Americas Region Caribbean Ring
System (ARCOS-1) submarine cable in the Do-
minican Republic; the link to ARCOS-1 provides
seamless connectivity to US, parts of the Carib-
bean, Central America, and South America. There
are two major broadband carriers which provide
triple redundancy.
Project Concept
Within Portmore, the Government of Jamaica has
earmarked a region called ‘Naggo Head’ for the
purposes of establishing 21 acre Technology Park
which is expected to break ground in early 2011.
The Naggo Head ICT Park is premised on an in-
tegrated ecosystem built on a modular plan from
seeding or staging site. Typical time-to-build is
anywhere between 8 months to 16 months.
The Staging Site
Staging Sites have become a feasibly sound so-
lution, serving as a stop-gap measure for clients
while their decisions surrounding total real estate
requirements are satisfied – custom buildings,
large-scale facility lease, corporate-design fit-
outs etc. Staging Sites are meant to provide cli-
ent organizations with a facility to deploy “plug-
and-play” models with their chosen businesses.
In addition such sites are also aimed at providing
facilities to local entrepreneurs who can leverage
world-class facilities within their constraining cost
structures to provide sourcing services to global
clientele. Typically such sites have the configura-
tion as shown on Figure 1 overleaf. (See Fig. 1)

The re-development of the Vernamfield
property into a major air cargo hub, aircraft
maintenance and aviation training facility, as
well as a local military base, began as a con-
cept almost 20 years ago.
Located in central Jamaica, Vernamfield
comprises 1,773 hectares or 2,900 acres of
land, which makes it larger than Manhattan,
New York.
Current capacity includes a 5,000-foot con-
crete runway. The total development project
is estimated at US$1 billion to design and
construct two parallel 11,000 foot runways
and taxi ways. These rehabilitated runways
will have the capacity to handle the largest
aircraft, including the Antonov AN-124, AN-
225 and the Airbus A-380. The development
includes the construction of Category Five
hurricane-proof aircraft hangers, which will
include offices and warehousing.
Once Vernamfield is developed, it will pro-
vide a new airport for cargo carriers, manu-
facturing and logistics, specifically:
• Air Cargo (centralized sorting and clear-
ance centres)
• Express Courier Cargo Handling Facility
• Fully equipped aerodrome with tele-
communications centre and flexible
runway capacities
• Air/Sea Logistics (distribution centres,
commercial space for trade shows, fire
and rescue station)
• Dry port concept (warehousing facility
for off-site manufacturing and assembly
plants)
• Aircraft maintenance facility
Historically, Vernamfield was the best loca-
tion in the region for the USA’s Intermodal
transportation system, and for the protec-
tion of their merchant fleets.
Its re-development has been the long-nur-
tured brainchild of veteran parliamentarian
and current Minister of Transport and Works,
Mike Henry, who has set out to make the
project a major catalyst for economic devel-
opment in the parish of Clarendon and the
broader central Jamaica region.

produces an“approved product”that has a supply
market of less than 60% of the demand market,
then it may gain “approved enterprise” status,
which exempts it from the payment of income tax
for a period of time.
• Foreign Sales Corporation (FSC) Act: An FSC is a
foreign corporation that is allowed to earn some
tax exemption on its exports to the U.S. This act
provides relief from the Common External Tariff

Project Overview
The global offshore financial sector is a $5
to $7 trillion dollar global industry that has
been identified by Jamaica as a key area for
investment stimulation. The establishment
of an offshore International Financial Ser-
vices Centre (IFSC), where relatively large
numbers of financial institutions become
engaged in business primarily with non-resi-
dents, represents a clear opportunity for the
Government of Jamaica to accrue substan-
tial annual recurring revenues from statutory
fees. There are approximately 80 jurisdic-
tions that offer these services worldwide.
Having commissioned a comprehensive
KPMG study of the global IFSC market, Ja-
maica has developed a clear strategy to en-
ter the market with a unique business mod-
el, predicated on its politically independent
structure of Government and stable financial
system.
Investment Opportunity
The establishment of an offshore financial
services centre is a key investment initiative
of the government of Jamaica. The objec-
tive is to leverage Jamaica’s strengths by
entering the market as a Mid-Value Com-
petitor with a carefully planned strategy of
developing into a Centre of Excellence. As
a Mid-Value Competitor, we will develop a
niche market and build our reputation in the
market until we become a global provider of
a highly specialized niche service.
The focus is on the provision of value-added
services, e.g. international holding compa-
nies, trust services, ship and aircraft registry
etc., which are enhanced by critical success
factors such as:
● Jamaica being a signatory to thirteen
double taxation treaties and to a Tax
Information Exchange Agreement
(TIEA) with the United States.
● Strong financial regulatory system and
membership on regional and international
regulatory bodies, including the Caribbean
Financial Action Task Force (CFATF)
● A large cadre of highly trained
English speaking professionals
● World-class telecommunications
● A mature tourism product with
excellent air links
● The capacity to host large meetings in
convention hotels, with more than
20,000 rooms
The vision of the IFSC is that multi-laterals
and other enterprises will find these attributes
attractive, particularly given that Jamaica
could position itself as a pool of relatively low
cost professional resources for international
finance companies seeking to reduce cost.
