en.Wedoany.com Reported - DP World and the government of the Dominican Republic plan to invest an additional $100 million to expand the warehousing and logistics infrastructure of the Caucedo DP World Free Trade Zone. This new investment will strengthen the linkage between port operations, free zone activities, and logistics services at Caucedo.

Currently, DP World's cumulative investment in the Dominican Republic stands at approximately $760 million, with a handling capacity of 2.5 million TEUs. The expansion plan is expected to increase container handling capacity to around 3.1 million TEUs, potentially attracting $3.9 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) and driving $4 billion in manufacturing output. As companies shift manufacturing and distribution closer to the U.S. market while maintaining access to Latin America and the Caribbean, Caucedo is poised to benefit from nearshoring trends. The Dominican Republic's positioning aligns with DP World's strategy of transitioning from a port operator to a comprehensive trade platform builder. In Latin America, the group already operates in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Chile, while its Unifeeder division continues to expand its feeder network coverage in the region.
