Jamaica: Caribbean Cement has resumed cement despatch operations at its Rockfort plant following Hurricane Melissa. The company completed safety inspections and restoration work to confirm the structural integrity of the site before restarting operations, according to Our Today news. The producer said it can meet market demand without supply chain disruptions due to its ‘strong’ inventory levels and fully stocked packing warehouses. The company currently holds over 33,000t of clinker, sufficient to produce 44,000t of cement.
Managing director Jorge Martinez said “Our ability to resume the despatch of cement so quickly after Hurricane Melissa is a testament to the strength of our safety protocols, the resilience of our operations, and the dedication of our people. By ensuring all silos and warehouses were secure and fully stocked, we are well positioned to meet Jamaica’s construction needs without interruption.”
