The Caribbean’s logistics lifeline is being tested.

Congested ports, costly delays, and climate shocks are reshaping how goods move across the islands—and how ready the region is for what comes next.

Developed by Americas Market Intelligence (AMI) for the Caribbean Shipping Association (CSA), this new report delivers a forward-looking view of what’s driving change in the region’s maritime sector—and what must happen for this sector to stay competitive.

Beyond the Bottlenecks: Rebalancing Caribbean Logistics in 2026 | AMI report cover

Inside this free report, you’ll discover:

  • How 3 major trends are impacting the Caribbean shipping industry: congestion, freight rates, and Caribbean buyers beginning to look behind the US.
  • Why Caribbean trade routes remain fragile, with just a few mega-hubs handling most cargo while smaller islands face soaring costs and limited connections.
  • How climate change could double annual port damages by 2050, and what “resilience by design” really means for operators and policymakers.
  • Why integrating the Eastern Caribbean is the key to unlocking growth
  • How Guyana and Suriname have become the new anchors of Caribbean growth
  • Why a regional logistics database could help create the integration needed to spike intra-Caribbean trade by 20%, bilateral exports by 30% and bilateral trade by 14%

Through its experience in executing 250+ logistics market studies across Latin America and the Caribbean, AMI built this report through on-the-ground interviews with port executives, freight forwarders, shipping agents, and government officials — combined with proprietary data modeling and economic analysis.

It’s a must-read for anyone navigating the Caribbean’s logistics future.
