Rio Haina

Latitude:  18º 25’N   Longitude:  70º 00’W

Admiralty Chart:  471   UN Locode: DR HAI

The port of Haina has become the busiest of the three ports handling cargo for metropolitan Santo Domingo.  It is situated to the west of the center of the city on the Haina River (Río Haina), within the modern city limits.  There are port facilities on both banks of the River. 

The port of Haina mostly handles containers and trailers and homogeneous breakbulk cargoes; general breakbulk has not been handled in great volume due to the lack of sheds at the piers for storage, hence mostly homogeneous breakbulk such as steel products not requiring covered storage and bagged cargoes that are hauled away on trucks directly from the discharging vessel.

Being situated at the mouth of the river Haina, the port is subjected to continuos silting why drafts and depths given here are only indications at the time of publishing and may have changad since.

Controlling depth in entrance is 35 ft.
