Port Overview
GRENADA, UN/LOCODE GDGRE, is a Caribbean seaport serving the island of Grenada and the capital area of St. George's. The supplied port position is 12°02′52.80″N, 61°45′05.39″W, or 12.048000, -61.751500. The port is best known for its cruise function: the cruise pier extends perpendicular to the coast and is adjacent to central St. George's, with the Melville Street Cruise Terminal at the pier end. For freight forwarders, this profile should not be treated as confirmation of a full-scale container terminal, fixed commercial berth capacity, regular liner services, or cargo-handling equipment. Our service team uses GDGRE as the reference port code, then confirms the actual cargo facility, vessel acceptance, documentation cut-offs, and inland delivery conditions with the nominated carrier and local port contacts before booking.

Key Highlights
Facilities & Services
- Cruise pier and terminal: The supplied port description identifies a long pier perpendicular to the coast and the Melville Street Cruise Terminal. These facilities should not be interpreted as proof of general cargo or container-handling availability.
- Container cargo: For FCL or LCL shipments, our service team confirms the actual receiving terminal, container acceptance window, equipment availability, transshipment routing, and release procedure before issuing a firm operation plan.
- Breakbulk and project cargo: Oversized, heavy, or non-containerized cargo requires advance confirmation of berth suitability, lifting resources, discharge method, road access, and local handling contractors.
- Storage and inspection: Storage, customs-controlled holding, examination arrangements, and free-time conditions are shipment- and facility-specific. They must be obtained from the appointed terminal, agent, or authority rather than assumed from the cruise terminal description.
- Inland distribution: Island deliveries are generally road-based. Our team checks truck type, delivery access, bridge or road restrictions, receiving hours, and whether a crane, tail-lift, or special permit is required.
Routes & Transit Times
- Common planning patterns may include origin-country service to a Caribbean gateway, followed by feeder or transshipment movement to Grenada. The actual routing depends on the carrier, origin, equipment type, season, and available connections.
- For LCL cargo, consolidation at a regional hub can add handling and deconsolidation stages. The booking should identify the nominated gateway and the final delivery responsibility before cargo is received.
- Transit time is affected by transshipment connection, port rotation changes, weather, vessel omissions, customs release, equipment imbalance, and local delivery scheduling. Our service team provides an indicative plan only after carrier confirmation.
- No direct sailing, fixed weekly frequency, guaranteed transit time, or specific carrier coverage should be presumed from the GDGRE code alone.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Service area: The practical hinterland is the island of Grenada, with St. George's and surrounding commercial and residential areas forming the primary delivery market. Inter-island onward movement requires separate carrier and customs planning.
- Consumer and project supply: Typical forwarding inquiries may involve retail replenishment, food and beverage supplies, construction materials, machinery, spare parts, and public- or private-sector project cargo.
- Agri-food and specialty products: Grenada's agricultural economy can generate regulated food, plant, and agricultural commodity movements. Packaging, phytosanitary, sanitary, and import-permit requirements depend on the commodity and trading partner.
- Tourism-related logistics: Hotel, cruise, restaurant, and resort supply chains may require coordinated delivery dates, controlled documentation, and careful scheduling around port and urban activity.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-offs: Booking cut-off, documentation cut-off, cargo gate-in, VGM submission, and dangerous-goods declaration deadlines vary by carrier and loading or transshipment port. Our team obtains the written schedule rather than relying on a generic port calendar.
- Dangerous goods: Submit the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, marine pollutant status, emergency contact, package details, and safety documentation before acceptance. Carrier and terminal approval is required.
- Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, permits, origin documents, and any product-specific certificates must be consistent. Customs examination, document queries, or port release can delay delivery.
- Inland delivery: Confirm consignee availability, road access, truck dimensions, unloading equipment, delivery appointment, and any restrictions caused by cruise operations or urban traffic before dispatching a container or breakbulk load.
Shipping Tips
- Provide our service team with cargo description, HS code, package dimensions, gross weight, ready date, temperature needs, dangerous-goods status, and final delivery location at the quotation stage.
- For FCL or LCL planning, ask for confirmation of the actual cargo terminal and whether the shipment will move via transshipment. Compare total landed cost, not only the ocean freight line.
- Use export-grade moisture protection and secure blocking and bracing for island sea transport. For machinery or project cargo, submit drawings, lifting points, center of gravity, and handling instructions before booking.
- Keep an alternative routing or gateway available for urgent cargo, but obtain written approval for any additional customs, transfer, storage, feeder, or final-mile charges before changing the plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GDGRE a dedicated container port?
The supplied profile describes a cruise-oriented pier and terminal. It does not establish dedicated container-yard capability. Our service team confirms the actual cargo facility, equipment, acceptance rules, and carrier routing for each booking.
Can I book a direct container service to Grenada?
Do not assume direct service from the UN/LOCODE. Availability depends on the origin, carrier network, equipment, season, and transshipment plan. We verify the current routing and connection before quotation.
What information is needed for dangerous-goods cargo?
Provide the complete DG declaration data, including UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group where applicable, package details, marine pollutant status, and supporting safety information. Carrier and facility acceptance must be obtained before cargo delivery.
How should delivery to St. George's be arranged?
Confirm the consignee's receiving window, truck access, unloading method, container restrictions, and any activity-related traffic controls. Our team coordinates the final-mile plan after the cargo facility and release process are confirmed.
Are transit times and port charges fixed?
No. Transit, handling, storage, documentation, customs, and delivery charges depend on the carrier, routing, facility, cargo profile, and current local conditions. We present them as quotation-specific items subject to final confirmation.
