The port of Cap-Haitien is essential for the export of products from the Caracol Industrial Park and for the supply of the North and North-East departments.Its modernization aims to decentralize Haiti's economic flows, thus reducing exclusive dependence on the capital. It represents an essential growth lever for cross-border trade and regional industrial development.
