About This Seaport
Laid out decades ago by Alcoa to ship bauxite, Cabo Rojo today operates as a private industrial port on the Dominican Republic's southwest coast in Pedernales Province. Its cargo terminal, now run by the Colombian firm Cementos Andino, exports bauxite, limestone and cement clinker; a test shipment of about 9,000 tonnes of bauxite sailed to Alabama in late 2020 as mining resumed. A quay draft of roughly 10.9 metres allows mid-sized bulk carriers to load. For forwarders the point is clear: this is a dry-bulk and industrial facility, not a container or general-cargo port, with no liner service for mixed freight. Hinterland links are limited to road haulage from the nearby mines and quarries. A cruise terminal opened alongside in 2024 but does not change the cargo profile. Containers and breakbulk should route through Río Haina or the deep-water hub at Caucedo, while Barahona is the regional bulk alternative.
