CSA execs tour DP World at Dominican Republic; discuss future plans and training opportunities

Representatives of the Caribbean Shipping Association’s (CSA) General Council paid a courtesy visit to DP World at Dominican Republic as part of continued efforts to meaningfully engage its membership.

The CSA delegation included vice-president William Brown; Group A chairman Eduardo Pagan; Group C chairman JC Barona; and general manager Milaika Capella Ras.

As part of the group’s official visit, they were given a tour of the port’s facilities – to see its terminal expansion and new state of the art industrial and logistics park – by operations manager Ramon Badia.  

Later, the delegation was treated to a presentation at the DP World Dominican Republic offices in Caucedo where they were briefed on the port terminal’s plans for future, and upcoming developments which will positively impact the local and regional logistics environment.

Additionally, with the CSA focused on offering improved training opportunities for its members in the short-term, the group explored ways to partner with DP World in extending its expertise to the Association.

DP World began operations in the Dominican Republic in 2003 and has since become one of the leading ports in Latin America.
