Ocean freight shipping to the Dominican Republic


Ocean freight to the Dominican Republic will give you access to the ninth largest Latin American economy. Despite its small size, the citizens of this developing country enjoy a medium-high income level, according to data from the World Bank.


The services sector has acquired great importance, due to the booming of tourism and industry. Mining and agricultural products generate annualy more than 5,000 million USD in exports. Moreover, the United States, Mexico, Japan, Venezuela and its neighboor Panama, receive the majority of their imports, which are valued at almost 4,000 million.


Ocean freight to the Dominican Republic is therefore a very interesting alternative for your foreign trade operations.


FCL container service to the Dominican Republic


With one of the country’s major ports located on its southern coast, Full Container Load (FCL) cargo shipping to Santo Domingo is a great option when selecting a container service to the Dominican Republic.


When shipping cargo equivalent to the volume 10 standard pallets (the size of each standard American pallet is 39.37 inches wide and 47.24 inches long) can hold, you should consider FCL shipping in a 20-foot container as it is one of the best shipping services available for said volume. If your cargo volume fits on 21 standard pallets, a FCL 40-foot container would be the better option.


FCL or LCL for your ocean freight to the Dominican Republic


Choosing between a full container (FCL) and a shared container (LCL) for your ocean freight shipment to the Dominican Republic is one of the first decisions you must make.


In general, if you are shipping sensitive goods, FCL would be the way to go as it reduces the risk of contamination and damage. LCL shipping would be more appropriate for low-volume and less-sensitive goods as since you will be sharing the container with other merchandise, you will only have to pay for the space your cargo occupies.

Port of Caucedo


DP World Caucedo is a free zone for commercial shipping terminal located just 25 kilometers from the capital of the country, Santo Domingo. The proximity of the Port of Caucedo to the main land and having a well developed air transport structure, combined with the technological network of the partnership DP World (Dubai Ports International) make this port one of the most attractive center for operations in the region.
