Overview
The Port of Santo Domingo is being totally renovated as part of a major redevelopment project aimed at integrating the port area and Santo Domingo’s Colonial City to create an attractive destination for cruise, yacht and high-end tourism.
The project, supported by legislation approved in 2005, is being developed by a private consortium and includes the construction of new infrastructure: the rehabilitation of the two current terminals, major dredging works in the approach channel and turning basin, a new sports marina and a 122-acre (0.49 km2) real estate development.
The port’s rehabilitation started in early 2006, and includes the Don Diego Terminal refurbishment (completed in December 2006) and the building of a new Sans Souci Terminal (completion in early May 2008).
