Raw sugar and molasses are the defining exports of La Romana (UN/LOCODE DO LRM), a privately owned port at the mouth of the Río Romana on the Dominican Republic's south-east coast. It belongs to the Central Romana Corporation, the country's largest sugar producer, whose commercial wharf (Muelle Comercial) also handles general cargo, containers and fuel/diesel, while the eastern Sugar Breeze terminal serves cruise ships under an arrangement dating from 2002. A pier depth of around 7.9 metres makes the port suited to smaller and mid-sized vessels and feeders rather than large container ships. The hinterland of sugar estates and the La Romana free-trade zone connects by road. For routine container liner services and customs clearance, forwarders generally rely on DP World Caucedo and Río Haina near Santo Domingo.
