Senator Browne hails the new port as a significant milestone in infrastructural resilience

The official handing over of two key facilities under the Kingstown Port Modernization Project- the container freight station (CFS) warehouse, and the administration building, “represents another significant milestone in the transformation of our country’s infrastructural resilience,” Minister with responsibility for airports and seaports, Senator Benarva Browne has concluded.

Speaking at the ceremony on September, 16, 2025, where the keys were handed over, Senator Browne said “The Port Modernisation Project is one of the most ambitious undertakings in the history of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It is more than an investment in concrete and steel; it is an investment in jobs, in resilience, and in the creation of a modern, competitive economy that will serve generations to come”.

She noted that when it becomes operational, the container freight station will play a vital role in improving trade efficiency by providing the space ad systems needed for the safe storage, handling, and transfer of goods.
