A Jamaica-based carrier will start a three-day liner service between Miami and Kingston on March 20, as first reported by the South Florida Caribbean News Tuesday.   Sea Ocean International will offer shippers in this market both dry and refrigerated box transport, backed by an automated booking and container tracking system, and local agents.   The new vessel service comes at a time when freight volumes between Miami and Jamaica are especially soft because of waning tourism in the Caribbean due to the global economic meltdown.   American Shipper
