The Listín Diario reported that the government has passed the ruling that provides the legal framework for the private sector to be granted renewable port operation concessions. National and international companies are expected to participate in the tender to be held to grant the concessions that will be for renewable 10 year periods. The Dominican Port Authority is in charge of organizing the tender. The government seeks to attract fresh capital to make the necessary investments needed to improve ports, as well as to make more efficient their operation and increase revenues produced by the airports and maritime ports.
