About This Seaport

Manzanillo port began operations in May 1946 under an agreement between the Dominican state and the Dominican Fruit and Steamship Company, shipping the country's first banana cargoes from the same berths still in use today. Located in Monte Cristi province near the Haitian border (UN/LOCODE DOMAN), the port now handles roughly 95% of the Dominican Republic's weekly banana exports, worth an estimated USD 4.7 million per week. About eight sailings per month carry bananas and other fresh produce to Europe, while return cargoes include clinker, petcoke, coal and gypsum for the domestic cement industry. General cargo and container operations occur only occasionally alongside this core bulk and reefer trade. Road links connect the port to Monte Cristi and the national highway network; there is no rail connection. Businesses needing standard container service typically route through Puerto Plata or Caucedo instead. A master plan for port expansion was under preparation as of 2022, though its current implementation status is not confirmed.
