2 Dominican Republic Logistics Infrastructure

The Dominican Republic has a high index of global connectivity by having regular trade routes to more than 73 countries around the world. In addition, it has a maritime and airport port network distributed in strategic areas of the country interconnected by a road network throughout the country.  The country’s seven international airports are highlighted, which serve and link with 73 destinations around the world. It also highlights the country's favorable geographical location in the Caribbean with twelve maritime ports for the transport of goods and five special ports for cruises. In its areas of greater economic importance and strategic location, the Dominican Republic has adequate OAS certified port infrastructures, with the capacity to receive Post Panamax II ships, with a capacity for 8,500 TEU'S, which makes it easier for cargo from Europe, Asia, etc. to be unloaded at the ports.

2.1.1 Dominican Republic Port of Caucedo

Port Overview 

The Caucedo Sea Port is 25 km from Santa Domingo. It is the newest and most modern port in the Dominican Republic. The port has a container terminal, which is located next to Las Americas International Airport. The terminal was built in 2003 by the private sector.  The port also serves as a transshipment center. This port sees 30% of the maritime cargo movement in the Dominican Republic, only surpassed by the West Haina Port.  The port handles 52% of the DR container el cargo, focusing on regional transhipment and local cargo for global lines.  Through its expansion efforts, Caucedo has increased its annual capacity by 210,000 TEUs to 1.65 million TEUs since 1.44 million TEUs in 2013. An additional potential spring area of 1,771 feet is available beyond the existing berth, which could conceivably bring capacity to 2.5 million TEU in the future.

Code I.S.P.S. was certified by Dominican Port Authority (APORDOM) from 26/01/2006. The port is protected by armed guards from CESEP-Specialized Corps in Port Security-composed of non-personal armed forces.

2.3 Dominican Republic Road Network

Main Roads or Highways

  • Autopista Duarte
  • Carretera Sánchez
  • Autopista 6 de Noviembre
  • Autopista de Samana
  • Auto Pista las Américas
  • Auto Vía del Este
  • Carretera Sánchez
  • Auto Pista del Coral
  • Boulevard Turístico del Atlántico
  • Carretera San Cristobal-Bani-Azua

Composition of the Highway Network of the Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic has eight main roads:

  • DR-1 connects Santo Domingo with the Cibao region, through the second most populous city Santiago de los Caballeros and ends at the Dominican-Haitian north-Haitian border near Monte Cristi.
  • Dr-2 gives Santo Domingo a direct link to the medium-sized cities located in the southwestern region of the country and a second connection to Haiti through the southern border.
  • Dr-3 provides Santo Domingo with a direct connection to the important eastern cities and ends in Punta Cana.

The other numbered highways either provide alternative routes (DR-8, DR-4, DR-6), or function as an auxiliary route (DR-5) from the main routes to connect smaller cities to the main highway network.


  • Regional highways or secondary system: Locally called “highways”, they satisfy the traffic demands between cities or centers not served by the less active backbone or primary system.
  • Local roads or tertiary system: they are generally small extensions mainly intended to give access to the interesting traffic that serves as a link between small cities or towns with a secondary system. 
  • Local roads: provide access to agricultural production area and towns inaccessible to motor vehicles. They do not have numbered codes and have reduced traffic (20-500 vehicles per day).
  • Neighborhood Roads Network: Roads that provide access mainly to agricultural production areas and hard-to-reach towns.


The Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) is in charge of providing and maintaining the road network in good condition that allows the transportation of agricultural products as quickly as possible to the centers of commercialization, distribution and consumption.
