The Shipping Department commenced this service in July 1996, and has since provided haulage for most of the major merchant houses and manufactures on the island. We provide the said services at comparable market rates and offer timely and efficient services irrespective of the location based on the type of cargo to be moved and the location.

The Department has been providing the captioned services since early 2000, and have facilitated the movement of all types of cargo to and from Nevis ever since. The department also facilitates the movement of goods to and from neighboring territories.  However, such movements are based on inducement, as same is not affixed to any predetermined fixture or highly advertised sailing schedule.
