The new facility is being created through an agreement between DP World and the Punta Cana Free Trade Zone (PCFTZ), a company of Grupo Puntacana.
The new facility will include a new logistics centre and infrastructure platforms capable of supporting multimodal air, land and sea cargo. Operations are expected to commence late in the second quarter of 2023.
With this decision, the two partners aim to boost the country’s position as the largest trade and logistics centre in the Caribbean.
“This new air cargo logistics centre with Punta Cana Free Trade Zone allows us to expand the range of services we can provide to our increasingly diverse customer base and help boost the country’s competitiveness,” commented Morten Johansen, CEO of DP World’s operation in the Dominican Republic.
