The Cuban maritime industry is experiencing a resurgence thanks to a state-of-the-art floating dock built by China. Operating for over a year now, the modern facility has been instrumental in repairing boats of various sizes, significantly enhancing the industry’s capabilities.
This floating dock is more than just a piece of infrastructure; it’s a symbol of the growing cooperation between China and Cuba under the Belt and Road Initiative. By providing crucial services to both local and regional vessels, the dock has not only bolstered the local economy but also benefited the greater Caribbean region.
Local officials have praised the project for creating jobs and fostering technological exchange. “The floating dock has transformed our maritime services. We’re now able to handle more vessels efficiently, which boosts our economy,” said a representative from the Cuban maritime sector.
The success of the floating dock underscores the positive impact of international collaboration and highlights the potential for future projects that can drive economic growth and development in the region.
