OUR VISION STATEMENT

KFTL’S DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY

A more connected & efficient future

The growing demands of modern logistics require constant innovation, stronger safety measures and better service delivery In aiming to go beyond expectations, KFTL deployed Nokia's state-of-the-art Private Long-Term Evolution (pLTE) network in October 2023, making us the first Caribbean port to implement such an advanced network ensuring unparalleled wireless connectivity and reliability We continue to reinforce our IT infrastructure in 2024 with upgrades to our Terminal Operating System and plans are underway to execute additional upgrades through the implementation of a new domestic and warehouse billing system that will streamline customer processes We will also be introducing a digital radio system to boost efficiency and safety, and a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) to enhance container positioning accuracy, security, and safety

As we progress into 2024, our dedication to innovation remains steadfast with these strategic upgrades, each initiative reflecting our unwavering pursuit of excellence. As a team we are leading the charge towards a more connected and efficient future.
