DUBAI: July 02, 2018. Dubai Trade World, a subsidiary of DP World, is launching an electronic trade portal in the Dominican Republic.
DT World is providing its ‘Mawani’ system that connects logistics services with DR Trade – a new joint venture formed by DP World Caucedo and the Haina International Terminal (pictured).
“The new portal will offer a single online window for the Dominican Republic’s traders operating across the supply chain, using a proven and streamlined flow of services designed around their needs,” explained DT World COO Mahmood Al Bastaki. “The millions of transactions between ports, shipping lines, agencies, distributors, importers and exporters, can result in duplication of effort and will now be done through a new, paperless platform,” he added.
Bastaki said the Mawani community system would prompt greater intra-regional trade by reducing operating costs and cargo handling times, resulting in an improvement in logistics performance, border compliance and support for the country’s vision to be a regional trade hub.
DR Trade general manager Francisco Domínguez said DR Trade’s electronic platform would also improve the competitive position of the Dominican Republic’s logistics community.
