Project Description
The Project consists of construction and operation of a greenfield container terminal in a free trade zone on the Caucedo peninsula about 24 km east of Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic (DR). The container terminal will include a breakwater, dredging of the berth area and approach, and 600 m of berth space. Containers will be stored immediately behind the pier. A full suite of container services will be offered. It is expected to be operational in 2003. The commercial free trade zone (not part of the IFC investment) is expected to consist of cargo handling operations, warehousing, and light manufacturing.
