LPG, bananas and minerals are the goods that keep Puerto Viejo de Azua working: a liquefied-gas operator runs an LPG terminal set back from the finger pier, and a second berth handles fruit exports, minerals and occasional general cargo. Sitting on the Dominican Republic's south coast about 15 km southwest of Azua town, the port is an open roadstead with poor shelter, used mainly by LPG tankers. Break bulk and liquid cargo are confirmed parts of its profile, but no regular container line service is. The largest vessels run to around 183 m length and 7.9 m draught. Road links tie the site into the national network roughly 100 km west of Santo Domingo. Containerised freight and broader customs handling are better served at Haina/Santo Domingo, with Barahona as a southwestern alternative.
