Security increasing Dominican transshipments
Officials in the Dominican Republic say transshipment cargoes have increased by more than 80 percent, and attribute the gains primarily to security conditions that have made the country one of the safest shipping points in the Caribbean.
A report in Dominican Today said the increased volumes include both sea freight and airfreight moving in and out of the region.
Local port and customs officials cited in the report said all international Dominican ports have been certified as meeting current international security standards, attracting the business of companies moving goods through the region.
