Cuba enlarges Cienfuegos dock under an agreement with Venezuela

Cuba and Venezuela started in December 2007 the embryonic stage of a
petrochemical pole within the framework of the Bolivarian Alliance for
the Peoples of Our America (Alba)

Western Hemisphere
Cuba is to add three docks and build a terminal for super-freighters
over the next four years in Cienfuegos Port, one of the axes of a
petrochemical pole which is being developed in the context of an
agreement with Venezuela.

"The port of Cienfuegos will be an industrial port; this will be its
main target," Luis Medina, the director general of the National Port
Authority, said on Friday in a press conference, AP quoted.

He noted that Cienfuegos Port, 300 kilometers southeast of the capital
city, is among the three largest ports in the country, together with the
ports of Havana and Santiago de Cuba and where the rehabilitation works
sped up after the economic "standstill" in the island during the nineties.

According to the official, the port operates with a standard load
volume, but also started working more and more with "fuels, crude oil
and refining products, which clearly impose a new scenario."
