DOBRX
OVERVIEW:
Port mainly used for loading bulk cargoes. The two main exports are sugar, which
is loaded manually in bags onto the vessels where they are bled through the ship's
hatches into the cargo holds, and gypsum, which is loaded mechanically by conveyor
belt. Of the four berths in the port, only the sugar and gypsum facilities are used
regularly to handle cargo; the other two are used mainly as lay-berths for vessels
undergoing repairs or fishing vessels awaiting orders. The sugar mill also exports
some bulk molasses from its facilities
