FUTURE-READY
INVESTING IN
GROWTH
Since 2003, DP World has invested more than $700 million in its local operations, boosting capacity from 900,000 TEUs in 2003 to 2.5 million TEUs today through steady expansion and modernisation. Combined, these have strengthened the Dominican Republic in facilitating trade and logistics throughout the Caribbean.
Recently, DP World signed a landmark US$760 million MoU with the government of the Dominican Republic to expand the Port of Caucedo and its Free Trade Zone. These initiatives will further expand container handling capacity from 2.5 million TEUs to approximately 3.1 million TEUs, while unlocking 225 hectares of development-ready land for the Free Trade Zone. This will attract an estimated $3.9bn in foreign direct investment, drive $4bn in new manufacturing output, and support thousands of new jobs, setting the stage for the country to become a leading manufacturing and logistics hub for the Americas.
The Dominican Republic is becoming one of the most important logistics hubs in the Americas, and we are committed to strengthening its connectivity and competitiveness while creating a workforce and supply chain network that is second to none.
