PUERTO PLATA.- The General Directorate of Customs (DGA) reported that as of August 20th, the transfer of shipping / moving cargo through the commercial dock of Puerto Plata will be restored.
This provision was made by the general director of Customs, Eduardo Sanz Lovatón (Yayo), in a letter addressed to the Association of Cargo Consolidators of the Northern Region (ACOCARENOR) and other business entities. This measure is expected to materialize immediately because both the moving companies, as well as the unions of the group of workers for loading and unloading products in the port area have been experiencing difficult times.
From now on there is great expectation that in the next few hours the container ships (Furgoneros) that bring from the United States the cargo consigned by the moving companies that give “life” to the “members” who are multiple workers of the local dock, who have suffered firsthand the bitter experience of the prolonged absence of shipping companies. For inexplicable reasons, in the past, the operations of the movers were transferred to the Haina dock, leaving the Puerto Plata port workers helpless, and to add to the insult, a customs collector named Narciso Tiburcio Mota was appointed, against whom various protests took place.

Wingo, the low-cost Colombian subsidiary of Copa Airlines, is promoting a new route from Panama City to Santo Domingo’s Las Americas International Airport. The SDQ-BLB route starts in October 2022. The biweekly flights will be on Thursdays and Sundays. The airline is flying a Boeing 737-800 with a capacity of 186 seats.
The low fares expect to develop more traffic of tourists and business people between both cities.
Wingo will depart from Panama City’s Pacifico International Airport (BLB) to Las Americas International Airport (SDQ). The flight starts at RD$103 for the Panama-Santo Domingo leg and US$81 for the Santo Domingo-Panama stretch.

The monorail under construction in Santiago will be in service by February 2024 and the Santiago cable car will begin operating in September 2023. The project builders Manuel Estrella, of Estrella Engineering and Jhael Isa, director of the Office of Uban and Interurban Mobility Projects took President Luis Abinader on a tour during his visit to Santiago on 16 August for his two-year government report.
The monorail is part of the new Integrated Transportation System (SIT) designed to improve public transportation in Santiago, the country’s second-largest city. The system is estimated to cost RD$33 billion.
The monorail will travel on a structure of reinforced concrete rails, on a viaduct that will cross the entire city of Santiago from Cienfuegos to Pekín on a 13-kilometer route, with 15 stations and a central terminal for integration with the cable car. The system connects the most populated sectors and the main workplaces of the city. It is designed to carry 20,000 passengers per hour, equivalent to 200,000 per day.
According to Jhael Isa, the train will have a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour, with a train stopping for passengers every 90 seconds during rush hour. The system has a capacity of 580 passengers per train, distributed in 4 cars of 145 passengers each.
In addition, an integrated payment method has been designed to cover all the transportation services offered by the Dominican state and different bank payment instruments will be accepted.
