| | AMARIT :: Port Expenses :: |
 | | Given the high investments necessary to upgrade our port infrastructure, the Dominican Republic Government, is following the growing world trend of opting to grant long - term management concessions on existing facilities, or new building permits to companies whom are in a position, and have shown interest, in investing their private capital in these ventures. |
 | | Under this mandate, the Port Authorities of the Dominican Republic (APD) proceeded to sign three (3) separate agreements, with an equal number of companies, to upgrade and operate, or build new port facilities in Manzanillo, Punta Caucedo and Rio Haina, in an effort to increase efficiencies in the existing facilities and meet future port demands. |
 | | The Port Authorities have also just notified this Association that, in a recent Board of Directors Meeting, new port charges have been approved, effective August 1, 2002. |
