Port Of Saint John Strengthening International Ties

The Port of Saint John is strengthening it's international ties as part of its renewal strategy by trying to establishing a sister port relationship with the Port of Caucedo in the Dominican Republic.

Port Chair Stephen Campbell tells CHSJ news reps from the government and port went to Caucedo to ratify a letter of intent between the two organizations. He says it's a great alliance to have considering Caucedo is a key transhipment port that many carriers pass through before being shipped globally.

Earlier this spring the port started doing business with the global container shipping line MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company).

A formal sister port agreement is set to be signed in November.
