Santo Domingo.- Shipping Companies Association (ANRD) president Teddy Heinsen on Sunday hailed the country’s current conditions to effectively compete in the cruise tourism industry.

He cited the investment of over US$40.0 million in infrastructure at San-Souci Port, RD$500.0 million of which he said will be used to dredge the Ozama river.

 Heinsen welcomed the shipping local companies’ efforts to develop important coastal areas which are currently depressed, such as Puerto Plata’s Maimon bay, where a leading cruise company pledged to invest more than US$65.0 million in dicks, shops , hotels and other facilities.

The ANRD President spoke during the announcement of the event "Impact of security and port management on Dominican trade: New state vision," hosted by the ANRD, the Dominican Port Authority (Apordom) and the Specialized Port Security Corps (CESEP).

As of last report , there were more than 21 boats resting on the bottom of the Rio Ozama between the ocean and the pontoon bridge ,,,the result of the torrential rains about 4 years ago ..so a dredge will be very interesting .
But what is wrong with the passenger terminal just below the Hotel Nicolas de Ovando ...that was specifically built for tourist ships but is normally occupied by cargo ships ..Sans Souci is close to nowhere

New construction is a conduit to steal and reward friends with no show jobs. The current facility probably doesn't even have a toilet in the bathrooms.

21 boats at the bottom. That would be a cool wreck dive!
