About This Seaport
Around 220,000 TEU a year move across Puerto Plata's cargo piers, Muelle Viejo and Muelle Nuevo, which also handle general cargo, bulk grain and oil products on the Dominican Republic's north coast. The same waterfront hosts two cruise terminals: Amber Cove, a private facility built by Carnival in 2015, and Taino Bay, a combined tourist-and-cargo terminal opened in 2021. This mix lets one location serve both tourism and genuine freight traffic. The hinterland — the agricultural and textile regions of the north — is reached by road, with little rail connection. For large containerised imports and transhipment, Caucedo near Santo Domingo remains the country's leading hub, complemented by Río Haina close to the capital. Puerto Plata thus suits regional cargo and cruise calls rather than mainline container volumes.
