The president of the Confederacion Patronal de la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana, Nassim Alemany, says that the increase in marine freight charges will affect the production costs of manufacturing companies and will be passed on to the consumer. Mr Alemany explained that the decision taken by the Confederaci\u00f3n del Atlantico Norte to increase the ocean fright charges by US$40 per container shipped to the D.R., does not relate to the current situation where the clearing of goods through customs is only taking three or four days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Juan Periche Vidal, president of the Asociaci\u00f3n Dominicana de Navieros, however, denied that the increase applied to all ocean freight, as had been announced by the Asociaci\u00f3n de Industrias du la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana. He made it clear that the new rate only applied to containers coming from Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
