The third and final day of the 21st Annual General Meeting and conference of the Port Management Association of the Caribbean last summer (June 29, 2018) in Jamaica was spent on the campus of the Caribbean Maritime University.
Conference delegates were transported by bus from Dunn’s River on Jamaica’s north coast, where the event was held, across country to the south coast, through one of the busiest Caribbean cities.
The university’s main campus is located on the southern shore of the Kingston Harbour, near Jamaica’s capital city. For most delegates, this was the first visit to the university since it received its charter in 2017.
In addition to the conference presentations scheduled for that day, the PMAC members and associates visited the CMU’s engineering labs and simulators and got an opportunity to see and experience some of the state-of-the-art technologies being employed in the university’s various academic programmes.
