THE CORRECT ANSWER: It is the only port in Haiti capable of accommodating Panamax type ships thanks to its draft.

Inaugurated in 2015, the Lafiteau terminal represents a technological turning point for maritime transport in Haiti. Its main characteristic is its draft of 12.5 meters, an unprecedented depth in the country which allows the docking of Panamax class ships.Previously, cargo arriving on very large ships often had to be transhipped onto smaller units at other ports in the region before reaching Port-au-Prince. This direct receipt capability allows for considerable economies of scale on freight costs and reduces logistics lead times for bulk and container imports. The port is equipped with state-of-the-art cranes and a computerized management system, positioning this private infrastructure as a modern hub capable of competing with international standards in the Caribbean region, while decongesting saturated public facilities.
